Fire ants tending a flock of aphids on live oak

 
This close up doesn't really show the fire ants--just the aphids--but they're there. The kind of freaked out when I plucked off the branch and tried like hell to bite me, and wouldn't pose for the picture. And yes, I said live oak.

Please feel free to leave a comment or send an email. If you're looking for a TCIA Accredited Houston Tree Service, a Certified Arborist or just someone who is serious about tree care, call the company I've been working with since 2002, Bartlett Tree Experts, at 713-692-6371. We'll set a time for me to come out, or, depending on what part of town you're in, John Jones orShane Hrobar. This is my personal blog: it is not affiliated with Bartlett Tree Experts, whose website you can visit at www.bartlett.com (I especially recommend the "Resource Library" under "Site Map".)
