Acacia trees have a whole army of ants to protect them, while elephants rely on egrets to keep them parasite-free. And it's because of bees, wasps, and butterflies that we have tasty fruit and vegetables to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by writer and artist Marina Ruiz, beautifully illustrated scenes reveal the wonderful connections and cooperation in nature.
