She keeps an eye on this tree because it always hosts a lot of ant activity (whether this says good things about the oak or bad, she doesn\u2019t know). Ants, famously, farm aphids. They protect the aphids from predators like ladybugs and move them to greener pastures. In return, they get to \u201cmilk\u201d the aphids by stroking the aphids\u2019 abdomen.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2016\/12\/ants-aphids11-2sm.jpg"}
