[QUOTE="wev, post: 489160, member: 16783"] No the ants protect them and, in return, sup on their excretion, which is high in sugars, hence the name honey dew. If you see the ants caressing them with their antennae, they are stimulating its production. I have watched ants move a colony of aphids to the most succulent parts of large leaves, carefully arranging them in neat rows. [/QUOTE]
