Harvesting in the garden of aphids.

An ant reaches for the fruits of its labor, an aphid's sugary secretions, as a result of its symbiotic relationship with this garden pest. The ant will protect, pamper, and promote the garden of aphids, in return for the aphids' discharge of sweet secretions. Ahh, the sweet taste of success!
