> 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.
