Sweet Green. Alexanders, Smyrnium olusatrum, and Lasius niger, Garden Ant, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The umbels of Alexanders are composed of numerous pretty, small green flowers with nice white-tipped stamens. They draw lots of foraging insects, notably Hoverflies, and Ants like to collect their sweets.

Here's a Garden Ant, Lasius niger, eating its fill.
