My indoor chile starts got hit with aphids about a month ago.  At first I
couldn't figure out where they could have come from this late in the
season.  As I started using a soapy water spray, some ants came out from
under the leaves.  Damn aphid farmers they were.  I took great pleasure in
crushing them between my fingers.
