Wallonia, Belgium, today.

I stumbled upon a plant covered with small bundles of aphids, and sure enough, upon closer inspection, it had a whole aphid farming operation going on, and ladybugs had found it.

The ant tried blocking the way but fell off. Hopefully it's okay somewhere. The aphids, unfortunately, will not be.
