78 0 ReplyThey do! Well, at least certain species do. They groom the aphids to harvest a sweet excretion.
It's a really neat relationship.
37 1 ReplyI mean, it's not just any excretion. It's a byproduct of sorts of the aphids digestive system.
From wikipedia on "Honeydew (secretion)":
When their mouthpart penetrates the phloem, the sugary, high-pressure liquid is forced out of the anus of the aphid.

I assume someone made porn of this.

Ants can be brutal. Some species of ants steal the eggs of different colonies to force them to work for their own colony. Sometimes, the kidnapped ants rebel and lay waste to the interior of the colony that kidnapped them if they think they can overpower them.
