Peony Flowers and Ants

Black antshelp thePeony flower.

Page 23: How Animals Change their Environment

Page 24: How Animals Change their Environment
Page 25: How Animals Change their Environment

The black ants are attracted to the nectar in the flower. The ants will then pull slightly at the peony petals to get to the nectar. This helps to loosen the peony’s petals and makes it easier for the flower to open.
