Do ants help Earth?
Yes, and in many ways. Ants are irreplaceable in contributing to soil turning, helping with water infiltration, organic matter concentration, and aeration of the soil. Ants are also a big help in pollinating many plants, and help plants (such as peonies) to bloom by eating off the waxy casing from their buds.One odd thing about ants is that they herd aphids as people do cattle. Ants keep aphids in or near their nest. As the aphids feed they produce amino acids or (honeydew) that is secreted from their anus. The ants then milk it from them for food. In return the ants protect them from most predators. Even fighting to defend them.And yet they're such a pain in the butt!
