Yes, an aphid is an ant cow.

Specifically, the term ant cow designates an insect that interacts productively and protectively with ants. The insect makes the sticky, sugar-rich liquid as it feeds on plant sap. Ants provide protection in exchange for access to the product.

The two prime examples of ant cows are aphids and certain scale insects.
