PLEASE CLICK “MORE” TO READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS PICTURE…

This weaver ant is seen tending a herd of plant lice (aphids) which he is raising. Agriculture is very rare in the animal world, We only know of four animal groups that have discovered agriculture: ants, termites, bark beetles and humans. Some species of ants “farm” aphids(plant lice) , protecting them on the plants they eat, eating the honeydew that the aphids excrete. This is a “mutualistic relationship”. These “dairying ants” “milk” the aphids by stroking them with their antennae.Therefore, sometimes aphids are called “ant cows”. Thanks for your visit !!
