> Do ants play a part in pollination of chiles? I am convinced ants play a big role in pollenization of my rocotos. In certain seasons (e.g. early spring), I see plenty of ants roaming around the flowers, never see any flying insects (nor any sight of aphids on those plants, either), and I get fruit set. However, this personal conclusion is certainly not based on careful extended observation, just brief but consistent visions. --- Brent
