Not sure if the ant was herding or attacking the leafhopper. They were on a large rock with no other ants or leafhoppers around. I'll submit the leafhopper separately

I haven't seen this ant with leaf hoppers before, so it's an interesting sighting. It looks more like its attending it than trying to attack it. Cheers, Jon
