Yea I have a few white walnut saplings that the aphid ants seem to love. So i left em be. They may be right against my plants, but even when they fall off the saplings, the ants gather them and put them back.Freaking crazy! It sucks when it’s something youre trying to grow but damn it’s a cool aspect of life on earth all things big and small! Wow!
I was having major ant-hearded aphid issues in spring until those saplings got bigger. Then the ants moved every single aphid on the patch to those few saplings. I'm guessing the honeydew from them is either sweeter, or more nutrient rich one. The ants don't want to put the aphids on anything else now
They run great interference for my cannabis
