It is very difficult to get definite information on insect damage to flowers be- 

 cause such damage is so often confused with physiological conditions that affect 

 plant growth. Undoubtedly ants so often complained of are not damaging the 

 plants but are merely visiting the plant lice on the plants to secure their sweet 

 secretions, known as "honey dew."
