Milkweed aphids (Aphis nerii) are food sources in swamp documentary missions.
Abilities
Milkweed aphids gather around stems of fewflower milkweed plants (Asclepias lanceolata). New aphids appear on random host plants across the map over time in some missions. Each host plant can only have up to 50 aphids.
Aphids secrete honeydew 75 seconds after each harvest. Honeydew droplets give 6 to 10 food.
Aphid relocating
Omnivorous ants automatically move nearby aphids to the designated host plant. They can't attack enemies or gather food in the process.
Relocating aphids is prioritized over gathering honeydew. Existing honeydew will be lost on the way.
You can disable aphid relocating to prevent your ants from picking up aphids. They still have to bring carried aphids back to your host plant.
You can enable resource information to see number of aphids and total food amount on the host plants. Milkweed aphids are yellow dots on the minimap.
