have you watched haruhi yet?

I love pogos so your channel is a goldmine for me!

Here's Something to tell you: Which country is This Cheerful woman (Smile City Marina) from? I think she is from NYC, But she lives in New Benton City in The Island of "Jeju"

Beautiful figure. I recently got the KDcolle 1/7 Swimsuit ver. and now I think I might get this one

Unfertilized eggs

Is it possible that a virgin worker laid unfertilized eggs? I know honeybees will do that in the absence of a legit queen. Not sure about ants. If that's the case though, the eggs would hatch into males

Female workers without queen may lay eggs that turn into males as they are unfertilized.

Have you ever tried Antcanada's product line or do you strictly use tarheels stuff?

;)

Man I complain about this VERY thing ALL the time. I have gotten to the point that I only eat out once every 6 weeks or so. A few years ago I ate out at least 5 times a week. The best pizza place in my town that was 9 stars out of 10 5 years ago is 5 stars out of 10 now. It's just sad.

looks like a chain of pizza places over here that we used to have called extreme pizza. They used the same style conveyor belt oven, everything you pointed out is a sign of fast food pizza when you don't have a standardized dough/ sauce/ cheese ratio or oven times.

that looks bad dude.

Go on Ant Gear they’re different colonies there and they do local pick up

I think a Camponotus would round out your collection and they get majors, which is always cool. You don't need to feed the Honeypots protein everyday, as my buddy feeds his protein twice a week and they are doing exceptionally well.

I think any of the Novo species would be cool. It's ok to have a least favorite 😅. I definitely do.

Don't usually leave comments, but damn mate, I'm really digging your videos. So great to actually get a good look at the overall setups as well as the ants, and the way you show the individual parts slowly is extremely helpful! (at least to all of us out there who are new to this gig and trying to find out what doesn't result in genocide!) Keep it up!

Myrmecocystus are pretty boring tbh. You’ll have most fun with novomessor

Definitely get Novomessor cockerelli, they are awesome

I want to thank everyone for their condolences and advice. I suppose I should have explained my situation a bit better though. Even though I wanted this colony to succeed and grow, it is not so terrible that I lost one of my Pogo. colonies. I have more space now to try a different species to keep. Let me say this again though, "I would NEVER purposely harm or destroy a colony simply to try another." I am just making "lemonade out of lemons".

Sorry, man, it’s hard to lose a colony the size of this I know how you feel

But they will probably not accept it

You could probably try to add another queen ant of the same species

I’ve managed to introduce new queens to colonies, keep feeding the queenless colony, it could still be possible to save them. What you need to do is take the new queen, put her in the fridge for a few hours, and after you take her out, take 5-10 workers from the queenless colony and freeze them in a separate container for 2-5 minutes. Then put the frozen workers into the queens tube and put the queens tube back in the fridge for a few hours, if they are acting like a colony together, the first step is completed. The second step is to take around 1-5 workers from the queenless colony, don’t freeze or put these workers in the fridge, put the workers in the test tube with the queen, if these workers don’t attack the queen or the workers that were frozen, the final step is almost complete, all you have to do now is put the tube into the outworld of the queenless colony, and the queen will move into the nest. I have done a similar technique to this many times with Lasius colonies to introduce new/parasitic queens to colonies. Some people say vinegar works better at removing scent than freezing but idk. The vinegar method would be to dip the new queen in vinegar for a few seconds and then to dry her off, then take a worker from the queenless colony a dip that in the vinegar too and introduce them, then take a worker from the queenless colony without dipping it in vinegar, and put it and the queen with its vinegar worker into the fridge for a few hours and then take the unvinegared worker and introduce it to the queen and it’s worker, if there’s no aggression, take another worker from the queenless colony but don’t put it in the fridge or dip it in vinegar, just put it in the tube, if the 4 get along, put the tube in the outworld of the queenless colony. Both methods have a chance of helping you save your colony.

The stickers remind me of the album BRAT by Charli xcx

Any parasite queens that use this Sp. of harvester..... if so hunt yourself a new queen to add.

So what happens with the barbatus now? Do you just let the colony finish living out it's days? My barbatus colony is my favorite

I’m tryin to get a colony I can’t find any sense I live in Florida great vid!

the light novel is so cool

naaah i dont care what you say eris best girl

how old was that queen?

Yep the queens dead, sorry 😔

yup, I think that's the queen's body. Sorry.

Im not sure if I should get this version of Marin or her in school uniform.

Love your videos, got a pogo occi colony because of you! They are incredible ants!

Very nice shots!!!

It seems that the workers have increased the humidity inside that test-tube. Which is pretty cool. I am going to feed them tonight some freshly killed flightless fruit flies. Did anyone see any eggs in my previous videos of this colony? lol

What in the heck did they smear on the glass?

Playing Secret of Mana and hanging out with my best friend just like when we were kids!

Video quality is looking good Brad. But, I would like some facetime with you in the videos more.

I like that new macro lens👍

It's pretty interesting to consider the differences between the species in this genus and how that relates to their ecological niches. Thanks for the interesting video!

If the queen does not move into the THA formicarium soon, I will have to move her myself. lol It is not a big deal. I basically remove the THA tube insert and place it into the outworld of her new home.

You been trying to get them shelves at that corner for years now 😆 you gonna have to get something custom made bro 😆

Good video . Very interesting topic I’m trying to get a colony of pogo badius & I got a colony of pogo O coming from Mack soon . Going to keep some pogo this year but you ever been interested in Messor barbarus or any messor there red head messor are very nice , I have a small colony just waiting for my majors to come and hope they come with red heads like my old colony I had but good video bro ..

:)

My occidentalis aren't doing anything while my barbatus are trying to explode. They are kept in the same conditions. I'm not sure my occidentalis queen has laid one egg since I had her

Just a heads up, it can be very difficult to sell/give away/get rid of mature colonies. Most people are only interested in founding queens or small colonies, and that's not to mention transporting or shipping them. Just something to be aware of

Hi. I'm from the UK. At present I'm watching videos on UA-cam as I'm looking for some ideas on a new formicarium. I prefer and enjoy watching your channel, and I see you have many formicariums. The formicarium I have at present is now getting too small. So I need to buy something bigger. In your honest opinion, which formicarium would you recommend for a ant colony the size 100+ ants. Could you do a video reviewing and recommending formicariums. Thanks for any help 👍

The THA formicarium on shelf that I forgot its name is a "Lair". lol

Pretty nest. Hope they do well and recover.
