Is it a bad thing to have the ants,for a plant that is outside? I see two post that state to watch out for ants.I have a cattleya that is outside with two new growths that the ants seam to be eating or licking(little tonges) something off the new shoots? I also have one in bloom that has afew ants roaming around on the backside of the bloom also.There are ants everywhere here in Florida.Please advise.Thank You,Rich
