    I’ve seen some epic battles in my vegetable garden between ladybugs going after the aphids and the ants defending them.

      I do not envy any insect going into battle against ants. Do the ladybugs even stand a chance?

        From what I saw, they usually end up backing off and looking for aphids that were less defended.
