Out of the nest, to the southeast, through a patch of turquoise grass, you can see three tall shrubs standing proudly, they are slender and colorful. They are:

South American purple tea, Chilean red shrub, fine-leaved sea tree.

These three trees are of special importance to the leafcutter ant tribe, which is an aphid grazing area that has been passed down from their ancestors for generations.

As a result of the proper management, these trees are still lush and green under the sucking of aphids, which makes leafivores look appetizing, and ants understand the dangers of exhausting the fish.

The nearly 2,000 aphids they protect live on these three trees, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, just like the traditional herding life of human ancestors.

Amazon jungle, rain or shine. In the morning and at dusk, it is very different from the rest of the earth, and when you wake up in the morning, it is a thick fog.

It makes people feel like they are in the fog capital.

……

Today's weather is cloudy, there is no scorching sun, but it is a good day for travel. At 6 a.m., before the fog in the rainforest had dissipated, five human companions, led by Ant Jasmine and the sisters, set off to the aphid habitat and began to experience their life as aphids.

Aphids.

In the eyes of human beings, they are out-and-out little devils in agriculture and forestry, who make the young leaves and branches of crops lose their vitality, suck the juice of plants everywhere, and are street rats in the insect world, and everyone shouts and beats.

But in the ant world, aphids are sweet babies that everyone loves, and they need to be protected for 12 hours. Sensitive, weak, giving birth to children, super perverted.

In different worlds, aphids are in different positions, and pests in the eyes of humans have become close partners of ants in the Amazon rainforest, needing each other and advancing and retreating together.

This symbiotic relationship is cherished by each other.

……

I have to say that regardless of animals and people, the quality of the first impression determines the harmony of future interactions.

Therefore, in addition to Yue'an soap, including Yu Qiyun Li Enchanting Rice Ball, the mention of aphids will frown, the main interest in grazing is still in the grazing itself, more to want to be in the green leaves and red flowers, scattered.

Grazing is a form of recreation.

During this time, whether it is going out to the alliance or studying in the ant nest, too many heart-pounding things have happened, and they are a little tired physically and mentally, and they need to relax.

However, last time, Ant Jasmine repeatedly reminded the precautions, which made today's class full of unpredictable risks, which made Yu Qiyun and Li Yourao give up the recuperation time and join the grazing course with great interest.

When crossing the familiar grassy path, I saw strings of crystal dewdrops, and immediately climbed up the blades of grass, took out empty bottles and filled them, and drank plenty of water on a hot day.

Get out of the meadow.

There was a swaying footsteps.

There was a burst of rich floral fragrance that lifted the spirits of the human companions, especially the two girls, Li Enchanting and Soapsoap, who were happy to write on their faces, grazing in this fragrant pasture, it was not too good!

"What kind of trees are these, and why are they so fragrant?"

Li Enchanting stopped in front of these three trees and looked up, took a deep breath, and felt delicious in doing anything on this flower-filled tree.

"The one on the left has white flowers and purple spots in the center of the flower is the purple tea tree, the one on the right has orange flowers and slender leaves are red shrubs, and the one in the middle has red petals and yellow flower hearts, and the leaves are a little curled is the sea tree. ”

"The fragrance of the flowers you smell comes from the tung flowers, and the aphids that we graze today live on the tung trees. ”

Ant jasmine knows everything, and there is no end to words. 、

In Ant Academy, only one class is taught separately, called teachers, such as Jianhua teacher in the architecture class, she only teaches construction, in addition to the teacher, 5 ant students form an activity team, which will be equipped with a full-time personal teacher, called an instructor, and different from ordinary teachers, she will teach students all the practical points of various courses, just like Kakashi in "Naruto" to guide Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura.

Ant Jasmine is the best of the squad instructors.

Hearing her words, everyone was secretly overjoyed.

For them, whether they are herding sheep or aphids, the environment will determine their mood and patience.

It is an ideal place for grazing.

……

This tung tree, 10 meters high, for Yu Qiyun, is equivalent to the usual 1000 meters, and when they hummed and climbed to the waist of the tree, before they could catch their breath, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Only Yue An smiled knowingly.

I saw that every green leaf in front of me was eye-catching with red bulges, and from a distance, it looked like a red tent had been set up on the green grassland.

It makes people both appreciate and disgust when they see it.

"What is growing on this leaf? The fruit is not a fruit, and the sarcoma is not a sarcoma. Soap screamed.

"It's called a gall. Ant Peach smiled.

"What the hell is the gall?" asked Onigiri again.

Ant Apple Orchid laughed, "Hehe, don't you know this, galls are insects that inject saliva or venom on their buttocks into the body of green leaves, causing the mesophyll tissue inside to mutate and proliferate, forming red, yellow, light green and other bulges.

"Why are they doing this?" Yu Qiyun looked at Yue An, Yue An kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, only used his eyes to prompt, asking Yu Qiyun to wait and witness the answer in person.

Yue An is the person with the most knowledge of animals and plants among the five of them, but this guy always likes to sell Guanzi, so Yu Qiyun and they are always helpless.

……

"Turn left on the right, the fourth leaf. ”

With the light footsteps of the ant jasmine, everyone came to this leaf designated by the ant jasmine.

I saw that on the green leaves the size of a football field, there were 5 red bulges, about half the height of Yu Qiyun, and in the center of the leaves, showing a petal-like matching form.

Ant Jasmine and the others stopped in the center of the five red tents. At this time, everyone actually heard a subtle snoring sound, which felt inexplicable, this sound seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be very close, so that they couldn't touch their heads.

After a moment of silence, Ant Jasmine clapped her hands:

"Aphid sisters, get up at dawn! There are countless delicious saps waiting for you!"

Yu Qiyun and Li Enchanting felt that this sentence seemed to be empty words to the sky. It's confusing. A disapproving smile appeared on their lips.

But the voice just fell.

I heard a few strange sounds, and I saw that under the five bulges, small holes were opened one after another, and then in front of everyone's eyes, five green insects crawled out.

Sharp teeth as thin as needles, black eyes and six limbs, the whole body is in the shape of a pale green rugby ball with two pointed points in the middle, and two peculiar abdominal tubes like two black swords, long on the buttocks, which can protect her sacrosanct buttocks at all times.

This is an aphid!

It turns out that the gall is the safe haven of aphids. (To be continued.) )
