“Two ants stroke captive aphids, stimulating them to release drops of an excretion called honeydew. Some species of ant tend these leaf-eating insects like cattle, protecting them in exchange for the source of sweet food.”

The Backyard Bestiary. Written by Ton de Joode and Anthonie Stolk. Illustrated by Kees de Kiefte. 1982.
