These beautiful golden ants (Dolichoderus cf scabridus) are taking care of a group of gum leaf hoppers (Eurymeloides cf bicincta), which are commonly known as the two-lined gum-tree hoppers.
These insects collect the sap from trees and produce large quantities of sweet honeydew that attracts ants. The ants collect the honeydew and protect the leaf hoppers from predators and parasites.
Seen here in Bungonia National Park in New South Wales, Australia.
