The Somerset Apple Ant is the friend of gardeners. Each time it has a bite of apple it will eat a slug or a snail that is destroying a plant.

Feed the green apple ant some green apple and the ant will eat slugs.

Feed the red apple ant some red apple and the ant will eat snails.

Somerset Apple Ants in Danger

More and more banana trees are being planted in Somerset. Soon no-one will be growing apples trees. There will be no apples for apple ants to eat.

Write a letter to your local council. Ask them to stop people planting banana trees.

Ellie from Somerset has written a letter to her council. 'I wrote a letter to Somerset County Council because I do not want my flowers to be destroyed by slugs and snails. I told them that we must grow more apple trees and stop people planting banana trees. I feed green apples to the green apple ants in our garden. They are eating the slugs. There are no holes in the leaves of flowers in our garden.'
