after a few shots, he noticed there were small little lice-like, greenish creatures crawling all over the tweed, and there ants. but it looked like the ants and the greenish lice lived side by side, peacefully. he immediately realised what these were and ho happy to see them turn up distinctively on the pictures. they were aphids. he heard of them and could only imagine that they were little creature, somehow white in his figment of imagination, and were friendly to the ants.
he went back to the same tweed and now placing special attention to taking pictures of these aphids. and what a world he had discovered right in his garden, s small symbiotic world where a small little creatures we only know as hardworking as themselves, do have brains big enough to be a FARMER! and not a flight-by-nite one, but a serious, scientifically advanced, systematically efficient and organically sustainable, non-destructive big-scale farming. we human has yet to equal the wisdom of the ants when it comes having a sustainable food source that's almost 100% manageable under his command.....
