An ant with a leafhopper

Hi there,
After a long absence from these forums I came back a couple of months ago (maybe more) with the intention of getting back into photography and posting some photos... Then life got in the way and I dissapeard again... But I am back
Now living in the ACT and things have settled down a whole heap so I can get back into photography...
Anyway... some pics taken this past weekend:
The ants aren't actually attacking the leafhoppers in these pics. They are farming them for their Honeydew (sugar + water that comes out of their bum ).
Hope you guys enjoy looking
Paul
