Insects - Aside Volume 5

A mixture of insects and spiders, predators and prey.  Kind of a miserable life when you are born/hatched and then spend the rest of your life hiding from death.

Aphid ranching, predation, and SPIDERS.

Above and two below, ants herding aphids.  Ants feed and protect the aphids and the aphids in turn provide a sweet, nutritious secretion for the ants.  Everyone is happy.
