Welcome to my blog @valued-customer. Most of the insects I show in this post are some of the many varieties of the so called “whiteflies”, these are very close to scales or mealybugs as they are all Hemiptera (an order of insects), so there are certain similarities. In the same way, ants collaborate with different Hemiptera and form farm species, it is fascinating as you rightly say. Hope you have a great week my friend.
