Sorry, I don't know. Sorry to hear about the train :(

Is what harmful? Young jumping spiders can eat fruit flies.

They are cute little butterflies. Too bad they are invasive non-natives in the US lol. But then again, the spread of Brassica oleracea (cabbage, broccoli, kale, etc.) could be considered the same haha

@@naturenerd99 They followed the cabbage 😊Saw the first 3 butterflies of the year today 🙂🙂

The poor domesticated silk moth can't really fly. I mean supposedly they almost can, but....

I don't have any on mounts either. They are all thrown together in a hanging wire basket. I've been lazy recently and only dunk them once every 2 weeks or so - they are clearly stressed and the recently flowered ones aren't happy, but they seem to be surviving. Mine are definitely happier dunked 2x a week (4X more often than I'm doing it right now).... The ones I think are xerographica I try not to get the center wet. The large one only gets second hand dripping.

Not totally sure on timeliine, but I got this particular Termitat in August of 2022, and in June 2023 I found both winged alates and the stubby-winged pre-alates - less than a year. I have not seen winged alates since then - I assume they died and got eaten because they couldn't actually fly anywhere - so I'm guessing maybe the pre-alates became secondary reproductives. However, I'm pretty unclear on the specifics of Zoot molting (I mean some termites can even molt "backwards" right? confusing). As for eggs, I found them May 2024, so it's been nearly two years.

P.S. I don't check the termites very often so it's totally possible the timeline is much more compressed and I just wasn't looking.

@@naturenerd99 Interesting. Thanks for the response.

Yes, that's quite a wild tillandsia! I once had a bit and it didn't last long. My area is low humidity so it probably hated that. Quite a contrast to Florida....

Thanks! I hope they hatch. Sorry you can’t get in Germany but on the other hand you can get so many cool ants! And thanks re: music. GarageBand macht Spass!

@@naturenerd99 yes true but its kinda an irony that I only have exotic Ants <.< Leaf-Cutters or Weaver Ants because of their non Hybernation :3

@@Rasmede Haha, those are some very interesting exotics to have. And I like no-diapause ants, too, though it IS nice to have a rest when half my colonies go into the garage for the winter. (Garage does not freeze.)

Some are still alive but kinda brown. Need to give them better ventilation and more shade I think.

Actually I'm putting together a very short follow-up video and will post it in the upcoming week lol

Okay I posted the update video.

That's a great idea. I found something shocking yesterday. I'll post a very short video in the next couple of days.

Hey I posted my new Termitat video. (Remember this is a replacement Termitat, though I've now had it a while.)

Selaginella lepidophylla. I have only ONCE ever successfully grown one, many years ago. All the other times they get moldy and die :(

Winter ants are found throughout most of the US and are generally the first ants to fly in late winter. My area of the West Coast they fly when it hits about 70F, and they are in less irrigated/less disturbed areas, near the base of trees and such sheltered areas (local colonies I know of are near a park shed and among some redwoods). They are most active in cooler weather. A bit tricky to care for.

Haha nice idea!

How long do you let them sit in the water?

Haha, the poor thing is pretty neglected. Surprising it has lived so long. Or more surprising there's so few people who keep their broccoli around for years?

Funny, have been looking at keeping fish again.... But in the meantime the fertilizer + distilled water is amazing.

Oh these are feeder fruit flies in a tub of culture medium, sold by pet stores. Open the tub into a plastic bag to contain them.

yeah, silk moths live for a very short period of time, it's very unfortunate that these creatures have such cute faces and short lives :,(

Your otter seems to get plenty of outdoor time! :)

Thanks for checking out the video! Hope it helps!!

Thanks! This is a real part of the roller coaster of keeping ants, for sure!

I wrote the Termitat Webiste an Email month ago if they Ship to europe especially Germany but they havent answered :/ Also if Allates are in it for reproducing because they only mention 30 workers and some soldiers on their website. Do you know something about that?😀

Yeah I should've had a better light barrier (I do have a partial but not opaque), but the first batch didn't get so bad in similar circumstances so this was a bit of a surprise. Soldiers get eaten if the colony can't support them. I think I read somewhere that they have a ratio of 1 soldier per 50 nymph/workers, but I could be misremembering. Alas, I didn't see how the soldiers were eaten.

@@Rasmede I don't know if they are allowed to ship to Europe. In the US, my understanding is that part of why they are allowed to ship across state lines is they specifically do NOT include reproductives. However, termite-keepers are all hoping for secondary reproductives to develop (of course).

iirc I couldn't hear it either and I was right there(!), but I assume the termites could feel it. Unlike the ant gaster tapping that I could definitely hear.

@@naturenerd99 Thank you for the Response I apreciate that alot! You have Awesome and Intresting Content :) Is the Termite Colony still living? If so could you pls do an Update, Also Is it hard keeping Termites (those seem to have no Problems when exposing to light) Ants Canada had colonies which were verry Fragile when it comes to Light.

@@naturenerd99 Ahh The Colony only last 2-3 Years, I watched the Webiste you had in your link. I have enough Info

@@Rasmede I had to get a refill of my termite colony as I didn't keep the previous batch damp enough. I don't think they die from light, but because I don't keep mine in total darkness, they have smeared stuff all over the window so I can't see them well. All in all should be easy to maintain a Termitat.

I think they can live longer with proper care, but I'm not sure. I posted a new video of my new (2022) colony. If they can get secondary reproductives it would probably help a lot.
