This is a follow up to my previous post regarding strange gathering of ants on my lufa plant https://sh.itjust.works/post/57881489
I managed to identify a spot that ants gathering around and placed it under digital microscope.
this bump is what is attracting ants but I still don’t know what it is or whether its the plant that produce it or the ants causing it.
Edit: Looks like I am not the only one

Seems harmless. Good to know

Honeydew or plant excretion to heal cuts. Could be sweet enough for the ants to notice. Maybe the plant is doing it on purpose to get protection from the ants?
