In this beerhall only Ants are allowed to avoid riots:-) And we humans aren't allowed to gather in a beertent anymore,
A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
As always, thank you for taking the time to follow, view, fave and comment on my images.

Ik was getuige van de eerste vlucht van deze vliegende mier. Mieren beginnen te vliegen als hun paarseizoen aanbreekt. Dan wordt een deel van de mieren uit de kolonie geboren met tijdelijke vleugels. Die vleugels hebben ze nodig om zich voort te planten, want paren doen mieren graag in de lucht. Vliegende mieren zijn ook de enige uit de kolonie die vruchtbaar zijn.
While my objective was to take a top view shot of these lovely roses , I noticed a few ants happily feeding themselves on these flowers.
See how many ants you can spot !
The tiny Ant greeting the enormous Moth.
Pity when I did not hold on to the burst shoots a little longer and never know what else I could have snapped.

Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.

Another example of a natural symbiotic relationship. Ant's will protect Aphids from predators in exchange for a honeydew liquid that they excrete. It's called Aphid farming. Photographed in Maryland.

Ants form a symbiotic relationship with aphids. Aphids are small herbivorous insects that spend their entire life cycles on specific host plants. They excrete a sugar-rich substance called honeydew that is a prized resource for various ant species. For this honeydew the ants will protect the aphids from other predators.

I'm not sure what's going on here. These two ants were on the fence at Conowingo Dam in Maryland yesterday 7/26/23. I didn't see any signs of aggression. It looked like they were feeding each other but I didn't see any food. Maybe they were just being gross and making out in public.
