thanks all ,thanks livan also for helping know me about Aphids
Not ant nursery, but ant farm!!! Those are not young ants, they are bugs called aphids. Some kinds of ants actually farm aphids, they protect them, move them from plants to plants, and milk them for a sweet nectar that they secret.
Is it possible these are aphids the ant is tending?
Wonderful macro -
Awesome macro!
