Mutual Relationship
Ants move small insects called aphids from plant to plant. The aphids are protected by the ants while the ants feed on sugary honeydew produced by the aphids. This is referred to as a symbiotic relationship.
Ants move small insects called aphids from plant to plant. The aphids are protected by the ants, while the ants feed on sugary honeydew produced by the aphids. What type of relationship is exampled in this scenario?

Honeydew is produced by aphids and related insects who suck the sap out of resinous trees. Most of the sap passes through their bodies and crystalises on the plant. Bees are very attracted to this honeydew and the honey they make from what is actually the excrement of the aphids is popular in some circles.
The silvery liquid produced by calyx is called honeydew. Honeydew is a sticky, sugary substance secreted by aphids and some other insects as a byproduct of feeding on plant sap. It can attract ants and other insects to the plant, and in large quantities, it can promote the growth of sooty mold.
Ants are often found on mint plants because they are attracted to the sweet nectar produced by the plant. They may also be farming aphids or other insects on the plant for their honeydew.
The scientific name of honeydew is "saccharose exudate," which refers to the sugary substance secreted by aphids and some other insects as they feed on plant sap.

Black ants primarily feed on sugary substances such as nectar, honeydew, and other sweet liquids produced by plants or insects. While they may come across grass as they forage, it is not a primary food source for them.
The relationship of amphibians and insects is a predator-prey relationship. Amphibians hunt insects for food. As such, they help to control insect populations.
Kingfishers do not have a symbiotic relationship with any insects. A symbiotic relationship between organisms is one in which both species benefit. Kingfishers and insects don't have much to do with each other, except for insects that have a parasitic (a relationship in which only one party benefits) relationship with kingfishers.
The leaves on your lemon tree are sticky because of a substance called honeydew, which is produced by pests like aphids or scale insects that feed on the sap of the tree. This sticky residue can attract ants and mold, and may indicate a pest infestation that needs to be addressed.
