Ants keep aphids as farm animals.
They love the honeydew of the aphids.

Hi fam, have a fulfilling day! #FlowersOfBluesky #insects #bugs #aphids (see #ALText for more, please) #sharingisthenewlearning #macrophotography #PhotographyIsArt

A tiny flower with six white petals protrudes from a bed of dry moss in a balcony joint. The blurred background is grey.

On a withered plant of the same species, a few tiny green aphids with black antennae that are almost as long as the aphids are swarming. These aphids are so tiny that didn't see them when I took th photo.

Cute!

Spring. Close view of a flower pod. Brown and green and white pod just before it opens into a flower. There are twenty or so tiny tiny green bugs on the pod. They are pure green segmented bodies with green legs and antennae. They are probably being nature of tooth and claw and eating the bud.

Same photo, but zoomed in on the green bugs.

Cute!

Now that it’s spring, I know you’re all wondering whether the eggs laid by the giant chestnut aphids that moved into the chestnut tree behind my workplace last fall have hatched into baby giant chestnut aphids. I’m excited to announce that they have! Photos to follow. #bugstodon #aphids #insects

Anyone who has aphids in their plants, these work really well.

An ant farming "honeydew" from aphids. The ant tickles the aphids with it's antennae to stimulate excretion of the sugary waste product from the sap that the aphids feed on.

I drew an ant harvesting honeydew. Please care.

The more-than-human world is really cool, y'all. Look closely!

A large black ant rests at the base of a slender leaf at the end of a willow branch. On the leaf are green aphids of different sizes, presumably being "ranched" and tended to by the ant for their honeydew production when necessary

A stunning macro photograph captures the delicate interaction between ants and aphids on a curved green plant stem. The image shows a colony of small black aphids clustered along the stem, while several ants tend to them in a fascinating display of natural symbiosis. The plant stem creates an elegant curved line through the frame, its bright green color contrasting beautifully with the dark insects. The texture of the stem is clearly visible, showing fine striations along its surface. The background is softly blurred in shades of green and beige, creating a pleasing bokeh effect that doesn't distract from the main subject. The composition follows the natural curve of the stem, leading the viewer's eye through the image. The macro lens has captured exceptional detail, revealing the intricate features of both the ants and aphids in sharp focus.

Fades into winter, #aphids develop wings and take flight.🪽

During spring and summer, they reproduce asexually, giving birth to live young. However, as plants begin to wither, they switch to sexual reproduction and search for suitable places to lay their eggs. So, those brave souls flying in the cold winter wind are all #females.

A stunning macro image of a snow flea, or winged aphid, seemingly dancing in the gentle wind. The flea, appearing as pure snow, is captured in mid-flight with delicate, transparent wings spread wide. Beneath it, a soft, frosty landscape is visible, creating a serene and ephemeral atmosphere. The overall image is a masterful depiction of the fleeting beauty of nature, with a touch of surrealism.
