Default A new one on me: ants farming aphids below ground.

used to be that rose growers could claim to have a good rain
barometer, when the aphids were around, as if they observed the ants
taking the aphids back down to the roots it was going to rain.

one of the lady beetles helps control them, they don't eat them out as
they themselves need to live on.
