Golden Digger Wasp on a mint flower by Mark Williams
This Buffalo Treehopper feeds upon sap found in clover, elm, and goldenrod among their favourites and they will often excrete a honeydew bubble as a reward to an Ant for watching over them. I managed to catch the Ant as it palpates the Treehopper as a stimulus to release the honeydew. by Mark Williams
