Description
This is the tip of a grape vine - tender shoot where ants are farming their aphids. Ants love the "honeydew" that aphids produce and so they gather the bugs, pet them, protect them, move them to plentiful feeding grounds, and eat the honeydew - ewwww!

They are AMAZING to watch! Any idea you can glean from this image would be so much fun to see:>) Thank you for the VFT - worth about a thousand aphids and 500 ants, I figure.
