hi, like your observations that you made in the field..like also the intense colours of your movie...I also studied ants farming aphids...hopefully you like my film also...
Did you know that some species of ant are also horticulturalists. Some species of ant cut pieces of leaf and bring it back to their colony so that a certain type of fungus may be grown on it. It is the fungus they eat. Ants are fascinating. They were growing things to eat and herding other insects thousands of years before humans did the same. Good video.
ants are "tending" aphids. Basically by tickling aphids with their antennae they encourage aphids to secreate honewdey - sugary liquid which ants will use as food. It is similar to how people are milking cows.
In an unusual way, this video is calming probably because of the tranquil forest sound... very interesting video

This is happening on the plumb trees in my back yard, it has killed them and It's become a nuisance. We're going to get rid of the trees next year...
It's sad really, we were looking forward to having some plumbs.

I had read about this when I was a child but never got the chance to observe the phenomenon! Thank you!

Wouldn't that make the ant "myoculturists" not "horticulturists"?

They're collecting the aphids for food. The Ladybug is also an enemy to the aphids.

they also carry their "herds" of aphids to different plants, once it has withered and died, and they protect the aphids from predators

@Parkjisung91, the aphids give off a sugary liquid, which the ants feed on.
