Yesterday the basil plant on the back porch looked like this:
The rover ants were foraging like crazy.
It isn’t common to see so many on one plant.
Where are the nectaries in basil flowers? What are these ants doing?
In any case, the story was very different this morning.
This is the same flower, taken this morning.
As you may have heard, the Phoenix area had quite a dust storm last night.
Wonder where the rover ants are today…
I love your photos!
Oh my God, that dust storm was INSANE! Seeing it bearing down on our house was so crazy.
We couldn’t even see the house across the street.
Oh! No! All reduced to dust. Glad you have some lovely memories.
Hope you all get some rain soon!
