Since the beginning of time, the aphids leeched off of sweet plants. When ants came to be they began tasting many different varieties of food. Ants strive off of glucose, and aphids produce a sweet nectar when eating plants. One day long ago a crew of ants were exploring the land for something sweeter than berries and leaves. They were crawling along when they began to smell something extraordinarily sweet. They followed the smell, to find a flower bed. They climbed the large flowers, to find hundreds of little green bugs. Around them, pools of the nectar. The ants asked the aphids about the nectar as another bug flies in and eats two of the aphids. The bug lands and the ants attack, ripping it in two. The aphids were impressed and offered the ants a deal. If the ants stuck around to protect the aphids, the aphids would make lots of nectar for the ants. The ants were pleased and vowed their lives for the benefit of their underground kingdom.

Thousands of years later evolution has effected the aphids. Aphids are now smaller and produce less nectar. One day a starving ant got angry because she had protected the aphids moments before. The ant lost her temper and swallowed the aphid. The aphid was sweeter and tastier than the nectar. So the ant rose up and asked the Queen “Why don’t we just eat the Aphids? They’re tasty, they don’t give us what we need and they take up so much space!”. The Queen then ordered to taste the aphids herself. Sure enough the aphids were sweeter than the nectar ever was. So the ants eat the aphids and the aphids feel betrayed.
