Note how you can clearly see this's ant's internal organs. Is the ant using her feeler to manipulate or examine the aphid? I suspect so. These aphids are on the end of the branch of a pine tree. You can see drops of  tree sap, one directly in front of the aphid.

Same species ant and aphids. You can see the pine needles, and the number of aphids.

A good view of the jaws of the ant, and a good view of the spines on the back of the ant.

Two ants exchange greetings or groom, and a ladybug larva goes about it's business. Negligant dairy farmers?  Or is it a cattle ranch? Is that an aphid body in the mouth of the ant?

Same aphids, same tree, different species of ant. I think that this one may be eating aphids. Is that legs below the mouth parts? Is it a cattle ranch rather than a dairy farm? I think that the other species is a night-time and early morning species, and the species above is a daytime species, but I don't remember.

The gruesome evidence: I'm pretty sure that this ant is eating aphids!
