Black ants farming Aphids in the garden

Good afternoon ,

Today i spotted lots of things in the garden looks like the insect world finally starts to come to live again. The wind in the garden was a bit tricky today so i had yto use my body as a windscreen to be able to make some nice macro shots.
From the 300 photos taken 75% ended up in the trash can, if it's not in focus it ain't worth posting.

After posting a lot of posts with so many photos and so little response i decided to post less photos and less text since people don't read the post anyway it seems.

a nice side view where you can see the ants working with the apphids
