Ok, so I dunno if this has been pointed out, but if so, oh well.

Do you remember when Bree mentioned that story in the book "Surely You're Joking, Mr.Feynman" about ants? Well, I recently got the book (I've gotten to the ants part. It's a great read so far!) and in the part Bree was talking about, Feynman discusses ants...and aphids. Here is the definition of the word aphid.

Any of various small, soft-bodied insects of the family Aphididae that have mouthparts specially adapted for piercing and feed by sucking sap from plants. Also called plant louse.

Ok, so I just wanted to point this out, incase it hasn't already been.

Maybe Bree tried to point us in this direction long ago.

Sorry if this has already been pointed out.

Also worthy of note, the have been farmed by ants for honeydew and are the primary food source for ladybugs and japanese beetles which is why gardeners, expecially those who have roses, enjoy the presence of lady bugs in their garden and will actually buy them.

probably doesn't mean a thing but...

It s said that the movements on ants have a hypnotic effect.
AND
IT is rumored that certain spy agencies/terrorist groups/acient warriors used ants as a form of torture.

<haha like this means anything...but a neat little tid bit that might work itsway in there>
