Really neat that you're doing your best to make sure the environment and weather inside Pantdora mirror's that of the outside world. IIRC, a lot of earlier large scale biome experiments actually failed because there was no wind inside...and it turns out that stuff like trees, bushes, etc actually NEED to be exposed to stuff like wind and harsh weather to become strong and tough.
As a bonsai practicioner I know the importance of such movement. Plant cells are rigid to various degrees .When a branch or trunk moves or is bent some of the cells are damaged. Scar tissue forms to cover the damage and acts much like a cast put over a broken arm or leg. The scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue and causes the new bend to be retained. It also adds strength to area. Strong winds can cause this to happen over large areas of the tree which adds strength to the entire area.
How did he get wind to go through? Isn't it all Glass? 🤔 Unless maybe it's because the top is exposed? I get so lost in the videos I forget what the tank actually looks like. 😅
I've been on UA-cam since 2006. This is easily one of the most addictive series I've ever watched. The fact that its also educational instead of mind numbing garbage like most addictive content makes it possibly the greatest thing I've ever come across on YT.
There's actually a theory that parasites serve a role in regulating the immune system. Some epidemiologists have noted that the rise of autoimmune disorders seems to coincide with the fall of parasitic infections in humans. Correlation does not equal causation, but it's an interesting observation.
@@opheliusluci7992 True. I never said definitively that this theory was true. The question was just asked in the video about what purpose parasites serve in the ecosystem. I'm just sharing something that I heard from a microbiologist recently. The theory states that minor parasitic infestations and low grade infections keep the immune system busy so that it doesn't turn on the body's own tissues. With modern medicine and sanitation eliminating these factors, the immune system loses this check and is more likely to run amok. So not a direct causation, but more of a thumb on the scales, shifting probability.
I absolutely love this series. It reminds me of childhood and how I would enjoy nature shows. It's the way you describe things, it hits that pure excitement for nature. Life gets crazy and we often forget what brings us pure joy. Your hard work really shows. I'm deeply appreciative of the content you make and I'm so proud of how far you've come. Cheers!
Love this series! Just a small note on parasitism… the mitochondria and gut microbiomes are examples of a mutualistic relationship in which both species involved benefit. In both cases, the mitochondria and gut microbes enjoy protection from predation and the harsh environment, while their host gains access to a new energy source (the mitochondria produces ATP through the Krebs cycle, and the gut microbes allow us to digest plant matter). The reason these interactions persisted is because they were beneficial to both parties, so it can’t be considered parasitism. However, the point you made about mealybugs providing protection against herbivory despite technically having a parasitic relationship with plants is fascinating! Those are the kind of observations that can only be made by watching nature at work! This is easily my favorite series on UA-cam!!
As much as we hate them here on the channel and just in general, Mites are a part of nature. In your other terrariums it would be different but Pandora is an ecosystem experiment. Perhaps the mites are a way of the ecosystem balancing itself so the Marauder Ants don’t get out of control. Either way tho it does suck, but we’ll get through it. Ant Love Forever! 🐜❤️
You probably know the channel but if not: Journey to the microcosmos has a cool vid about mites out right now. You might like it, both the vids and the channel.
You need to add shrews, toads, badgers, and/or birds for the millipedes, and freshwater fishes, amphibians, and/or aquatic insect larvae (including dragonflies, damselflies, chironomids, and mosquitoes) for land planarians, also planarians cannot die of old age and can regenerate body pieces.
Spiders, like jumping spiders, wolf spiders, brown reclusive, garden orb weaver spiders, and finally of course, huntsman spiders, very commonly will still lay eggs that aren’t fertilized. Usually within a few weeks they completely abandon the egg sack, or end up eating the eggs. Just depends because one fertilization creating two egg sacks isn’t unheard of.
Oh, they're in the vivarium. You can actually see them flying around in some shots. They always get eaten though so they're never too much of a problem.
I know. They got into my hone and wreaked my plants. I saved about 1/4 but when I bought new plants they just found a way to get to them. They are controlled but not eradicated. I drives me nuts!
Hi AntsCanada idk if your still trying to find a solution but I found that some assassin bugs hunt in packs and feed on millipedes and also idk if assassin bugs are native to where you live but that may be a solution.
As a past Cannabis grower, I say, good luck. Even when my quail got infested with Mites we tried every natural thing we could find or think of and ended up going with poison, which isn't really an option here I'd think. (We even bought thousands upon thousands of ladybugs and they didn't knock em out.)
This is breathtaking. I've been keeping isects for six months now (currently at 4 mantids, a beetle and a tarantula incoming), but this is just something else. I found your channel today and will surely be tuning in to next weeks' episodes. So inspiring to see all these creatures! As a mantis lover I really hope Grey Reaper managed to do the deed and we'll se lil hierodulas pop out of that ootheca. My baby boy blue Papua hierodula is almost mature now too so I've been heartbroken by your two guys passing - hopefully not in vain!
You manage great photography, editing and narrative, and sometimes mystery adds to it. But with that said, you might want to consider setting up a number of always-on cameras, so that in future you can rewatch and have a better idea re: certain events that occur while you were not there in person.
I believe the gnome ants are Pharaoh Ants (Monomorium Pharaonis) based on the little information we know about the gnome ants. Pharaoh ants share the same polymorphic proportions as the gnome ants with the larger workers being at least twice the size of their smaller counter parts. They generally have a light yellow to reddish-brown coloration but also exhibit genetic variance meaning physical variations between colonies, usually caused by environmental and dietary factors. They are also generally non-aggressive, often ignored by many other species of ant species just as we see the Marauders unthreatened by the Gnome ants. They also tend to nest in hidden locations, usually compromised of soil and debris, which can explain why we have seen much less of these ants in the vivarium than any other species. They are polygynous, meaning multiple queens to a colony, but I suspect this colony is only small fracture of a colony that was imported into your vivarium by accident, likely only having a single queen. If this is the case, a single queen can rebound a fractured colony relatively quickly with noticeable increases in worker numbers within a few weeks to a few months, depending on conditions. They are also found worldwide, preferring tropical and temperate climates. I am no entomologist nor ant enthusiast but I love your channel and this series and really wanted to contribute something useful so I researched a LOT about ants and this was the absolute closest I could come to considering what little we know about them, but I am very confident in my research. I sure hope I am correct! Please like this comment to get it to the top so AntsCanada can get this information and hopefully correctly identify the gnome ants!
I think you may be forgetting symbiosis. It's different from parasitism in the sense both parties benefit. With parasitism only the parasite benefits. The host is harmed
If I remember correctly from my school years. Frogs rely so much on "breathing" ie absorbing oxygen through their skin, that if their skin gets covered with for example oil, they suffocate.
you need the natural sunlight and of course every vivarium ends because its limitations of space and natural air, sunlight, soil and the flow of other species.
Me and my daughter watch this together and it’s amazing we love what you do, the passion and education is incredible thank you so much for releasing pandora. The relationship between the ants and the Milly bugs are commenalistic, symbiotic would be if the Milly bugs also received a benefit.
What an incredible journey through Pantdora! It's fascinating to witness the intricate balance of life within your 1000 gallon cloud rainforest vivarium. From the unexpected appearance of unwelcome guests like mites to the symbiotic relationships between creatures like acrobat ants and mealybugs, every moment seems like a chapter in a riveting ecological saga. Your meticulous observations and thoughtful adjustments to the environment truly highlight the complexities of maintaining a thriving ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing how the inhabitants of Pantdora navigate the challenges ahead! Subscribed and eagerly awaiting the next installment. 🌿🐜🌿
here is a idea for you! run a 24/7 live stream of the vivarium along side your channel with multiple cameras. people would be able to capture clips of things you maybe missed.
My Guy usually i am scared of insects in general but watching your videos is just simply amazing 💪🏾❤️… i am getting motivated to start a terrarium each time i watch your videos … thanks for educating us and sharing your beautiful terrariums ❤️
Thank you so much for the trigger warning for those that are uncomfortable when seeing spiders. 😢 I respect them … I know how good they are for the environment , but can not look at them or I will sweat and vomit
Many huntsmen, mites, flatworms, and now possibly giant centipedes? It sounds like Pantdora is at a high risk of heading straight to an ecological collapse.
In ecology, the term “niche” describes the role an organism plays in a community. A species’ niche encompasses both the physical and environmental conditions it requires (like temperature or terrain) and the interactions it has with other species (like predation or competition). - National Geographic Society
Mitocondria aren't parasites, they're symbiotes. Important distinction. Bacteria and viruses that makes us sick are parasites, our gut bacteria that greatly helps us are symbiotes.
This presents an interesting dilemma for you antineers that decide what is included in the tank. Have you set up groups for each spot, or is it divided overall ie; tree trunk or overall gardeners for all the plants, or all the background depending on how you group it... How do you?
"Parasitism is a relationship between two species in which one of them benefitted and the other species is harmed. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which usually both get benefits from each other."
Lil correction on the term for parasitic relationships-- if both can gain from the relation it's not parasitism. There's a lotta other similar terms for variants of that.
Love the rainforest & Smaug, but the bugs creep me out. Definitely interested in finding a list of the more “necessary insects” vs the ones that you could do without if someone wanted to start fresh. Definitely no centipedes or flat worms…
Hey @AntsCanada Can you on the next episode give us just a small update on the tarentula nothing to big just a quick check up ? would be nice :) Like always love your stuff keep up the good work :)
BTW - Mites are arachnids! It's truly the Age of Arachnida!

Yes, a lot of nature shots are done in a studio (esp for ant cinematography)! It's a major secret they don't want you to know.
Never could I think that someone would make me understand and even accept parasites. Still gross tho but makes sense.
