Ants Aphid Aphids Leaf Leaves Milking Symbiosis Tending Blackfly
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Behold the industrious black ants tending to their precious livestock - black bean aphids! Nestled amidst lush green leaves in the heart of Europe, these tiny insects have formed an unlikely alliance that benefits both parties involved. With utmost care and precision, these diligent ants delicately milk sweet honeydew from their aphid companions. It's a sight straight out of a miniature farming operation! As if running their own bustling agricultural enterprise, these resourceful ants ensure that every leaf is meticulously tended to and no aphid goes hungry. This extraordinary display showcases nature's ingenuity at its finest. Who would have thought that such small creatures could engage in such intricate cooperation? These European inhabitants remind us that teamwork knows no boundaries – even within the insect kingdom! So next time you stumble upon an ant trail or spot some seemingly harmless aphids on your plants, take a moment to appreciate the remarkable relationship unfolding before your eyes. After all, it’s not every day you witness Mother Nature's version of "Farmville" right here in our very own United Kingdom!
