Insect-Aside Volume 4

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. 




American Hover Fly getting a taste. 

SURPRISE!!!



The shot above shows a spider which lay in wait for the hapless honey bee on a thistle..
