Parasitic Symbiosis by Dave Gaines

Ants farm the aphids, carrying them from plant to plant so they can eat the sugary syrup the aphids excrete. The aphids suck the life out of the plant.

Thanks for your comments. I used an Olympus SRF-11 ring flash on an overcast day at nearly sundown. From the Huntington Gardens cactus garden near Pasadena, CA.

The circle of life. Its amazing how the ants are indulging in ant husbandry :) Nature always amazes me.

Yes, I agree. This is well executed and I find the OOF area pleasant.
