AC Family, we made it to 1 yr and another Season of nature discovery! Heart is so full writing this! Thank you for an amazing year. Some big plans are coming up next! Q: Can you guess what's coming up in the next season?
Watched you back in high school. Graduated university this May and found you a few days ago and have been binging this series nonstop 😭 Great to see you going stronger than ever!
I know i've already left a comment on your community post but can you please post something about ants canada? you know, just to show the affectionate love for him and his ants? Also, are you planning to keep ants soon?
Those little aquatic worms look like detritus worms. If so, they are not parasitic, just scavengers. I am a zoology major and studied parasitology, but of course I could be wrong so when you move the caiman it wouldnt hurt to take in a fecal sample to an exotic vet for a fecal float to ensure there aren't any nasty parasites that could inhibit his health. To add, when you move Godzilla, adding fish can be good to control the worm population.
@@AntsCanada also to ease your mind a bit, most parasitic worms (or parasites in general) can not live outside of the host for long so the fact that there are so many thriving probably means they are just stand alone organisms! 😄
Aww! I was really rooting for Snip! And seeing those poor weavers huddled together, helpless and hopeless, made me cry. I've come to love all these creatures so much. And I can't wait to see what you've got planned next!!
@@osmosisjones4912did you really just link yourself stealing an antscanada video? And you couldn’t even make it a decent video to watch. Damn you must be a special kind of stupid
Can’t believe it’s been a year I been watching. I don’t miss an episode at all. Been a great experience and I learned so much from this channel. Thank you for the great show I hope it never ends.
I believe it's the first time in many months watching this series that I broke into tears.. I felt very sorry for poor weaver ants, it's not something that I would get particularly emotional over, but seeing these last few ants cuddle together and barely moving under a leaf - broke me. Insects are often compared to organic machines, with very little individual mind of their own. But these poor last handful of workers, when left without purpose, when there's nowhere to go, no one to care for or protect, no more order or trail to follow - their last instinct is to hug and hold each other close
Did you see the series where he had a bunch of weaver queens? and some of the queens got kicked out of the group and one would go visit the shunned queens while they died. That was amazing.
@@t.kersten7695 They had sheer numbers on their side but he didn't give them any plants they could use. The banyan leaves were too small and waxy for their needs so they settled for leaves on vines... which also weren't ideal and meant they had to spread out to multiple mini nests instead of having one or two really well defended nests with thousands of guards.
finding out how the weavers went extinct reminded me just how cruel nature can be. nature is just as just as cruel as it is beautiful. I've been watching this series since the beginning and I've learned so much about the beauty and cruelty of nature. i love your content sir and when i have kids i will use this series as infotainment for them to appreciate nature and its beauty.
This is my favorite happy place. No matter how stressful life gets I watch one of your videos and feel good. Thanks for the great work can't wait for the next season!
33:40 Those worms are called Aeolosoma, these worms are a type of polychaete and pose no harm. Added info: These worms are mainly detritivores and are found worldwide. They are not parasitic and mostly reproduce asexually. I have knowledge of this because I used to do microscopy as a hobby.
ur way of documentry style of this vid, really makes me look forward to the weekly episode. similarly like how discovery channel used to release their shows back in the days before youtube too. this rythm of weekly release is very soothing and comfortable for consumers like us. thank you for the effort in making it such a wonderful experience. although sometimes some reactions might be a little dramatic, but, i guess it is needed to, to hype emotions to make this more interesting. keep it up! once again, thanks for makking our lifes a more meaningful one with ur vid. :)
I am highly allergic and deathly scared of spiders. But since watching your show, I am understanding that even if a spider or 400 of them are there, they can be fascinating. I wait every week to watch. I have discovered how beautiful and amazing they are and all the inhabitants of your vivariams are doing. I don't scream and change the channel anymore. Losing Snip hurt my heart, but it's the circle of life. Thank you for this wonderful gift.
Thats so awesome! Then you should now honestly look into jumping spider content, sometimes the voices they get are so fitting haha and i usually just am fascinated by spiders and dont think theyre cute at all, but those little shits... 🤩 the way they can recognize you and which interesting characters they might have. If u bond with em which works really well for some reason with them, some actually really really enjoy your presence and engage with you in cutely ways and manners. Even my mother that absolutely despises spiders thinks theyre cute and she wouldn't mind if i introduce her to the world of jumping spiders 😊 im thinking about getting a beautiful white one with purple, i call em the cheeks ion know how theyre called in english. They are also not expensive and their prey are fruit flies and like mosquitoes which is awesom cause you can just catch em and introduce em to your little apex predator with for some reason calm and cute looking eyes focusing on his tasty prey his enormous hooman fren brought in his little domain in your room. 😅 Edit: im sorry for my excitement but i never really liked spiders that much but jumping spiders got something special and i felt like this is my time to introduce someone else maybe😅
Whoohoo! A new extended vivarium! Although these 2 existing biomes have been so educational. I don’t think you can add too much more unless you plan a massive construction. Gasp! My mind boggles! I like the rest of the audience are waiting with baited a-n-t-i-c-i-p-a-t-i-o-n! I’ve been watching other nature videos on UA-cam, but yours is the best!
I think you just put the weaver ants into an area without the kinds of leaves they needed. They didn't want the small sappy banyan trees so they settled for vines, but... that wasn't their ideal for their protection or setup since they had to split their queen groups apart and couldn't really make a base.
Exactly. He kept weaver ants before and for those he carefully chose a suitable host tree. But there was no habitat in Orchadia and in Pantdora there were only spots with few soft leaves which they could combine, but no proper tree for a growing colony.
Agree. The fact that we have seen little to no video footage of leaf nests in his videos when they were still thriving up to their extinction means that the ants were not able to adapt.
@@bluuangel004 Go to his old videos, we literally see several leaf nest littered through the vines. It seems like the lack of nests now, would suggest a mass consumption event, not necessarily a lack of adaptation. Not to mention it's been like 3 months since they've been added. If they were unable to adapt, it would have shown much sooner as most species, especially specialized species, will die off within a single month let alone several
24:25 I have literally never seen a mealybug from this direction,never knew they looked like that. Also,happy Pantdora anniversary!I have been here since the start,and I can't believe some of the stuff from the first episodes are starting to become nostalgic now!
@@SystemofaDowns didn’t know showing support to a fellow creator who you’ve been following for many years and wishing people a good day is a sign of weakness. Sure thing, hope you have a great Sunday.
i’m having deja vu to 2020 when i knew (bc of food needs) the weaver ants would be released.. during the intro, i said “noooo,”having a strong feeling about which species went extinct.. besides godzilla, the weaver ants are by far my fave creatures in pantdora and i was soooo excited for their addition.. what sad news! 😔 ps.. you did an amazing job revamping orchadia! it really looks like a canopy now.. 🌳🌿💚
I have never really been a fan of anything insect related in my life. I randomly stumbled across this series and it has become one of my favorite things to watch! Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful world!
@@U-Gozoo me too, I checked first thing this morning and was quite sad to see that there wasn’t a video up….. then I get a notification that it’s up and dropped everything to watch!!!!
As someone who has kept both weavers and dolichoderus before, here are my theories for their disappearances - It is unlikely for the bullet ants to have been the sole cause behind the demise of the weavers. Asian bullet ants are a fairly large species of ant and are mainly terrestrial, making climbing vines while fighting against the mainly arboreal and fairly ranged weaver ants not a good idea for them. The numbers of the weaver ants would have also made it difficult for the then relatively small colony of asian bullet ants to mount an effective attack into the leaves and branches of the weaver ant domain. Thus my theory is that some unknow factor, maybe increased competition, disease or something else severely weakened the workers and queens of the weaver colony, thus allowing the bullet ant colony to grow in size. at the same time, due to the decrease in numbers, less food would be gathered by less existing workers to feed the queens and brood and this would continue in a downward spiral. less food->less brood->less workers-> less food etc. meanwhile, this means more food for competitors, ie the bullet ants. at a certain point, the weaver ants would become unable to hold their own against a bullet ant attack which is precisely what happened eventually, leading to their demise and "extinction". In conclusion the weaver ants likely fell victim to an unknow factor that weakened their colony and they were unable to recover, allowing their competitors to raid their nests and kill them. -for the dolichoderus, in my experience they are extremely fragile as a species when relocated to a new location and are also not avid hunters unlike larger species such as trapjaws. Thus they likely failed to acquire the proper resources needed to sustain their colony and died.
I love watching these, honestly... Idk know y, i mean i love nature, but never really paid any attention to ANTS until now. I look forward to ur new videos popping up on my page. Thanks for ur hard work man and i love the progress you have made... Cant wait for the next season...
I have watched all those series, I didn't miss a single one. I even watched it when I met my girlfriend for the first time (LDR). Unfortunately the relationship is over already, but my love for your series isn't. Everytime I watch it, one I cry but the other ones smiles with happiness 😊
Aww, so sad seeing that group of weavers huddled under that leaf. It would be great to see another colony moved into Orchadia, they mike enjoy it more now that it's better established, and I really enjoyed watching the weavers build the leaf nests.
Me too. He mentioned the extinctions and I thought "not the green ants. Not the green ants", and then he started "the weaver ants" and I'm "NOOOooooo!!!"
It's been awhile since I last binge watched your channel, but I love the documentary style videos. The scope of your vivariums are crazy. It's all really amazing! Keep up the great work!
💔I’ll miss Snip! She was so cute and energetic! But I think we can say that Snap, since he has survived the worst, will be better equipped to survive in the long run. I love weaver ants too. It was so heart breaking seeing that little group of survivors bunched up together waiting to die💔
This multi-vivarium ecosystem is gonna have more than 10 seasons, it's so amazing that this has 3 full seasons of discovery and challenges. I've been watching this channel since around 5 or more years ago and I love the content you make as we discover more about nature in every video! I know an end of a season means a break, usually, so have a great Christmas and New Year break! Really excited for that swamp cave vivarium thing, I forgot since it's been so many episodes, but whatever it is, I'm hyped!
just found your channel earlier this week for the first time, I'm now caught up with this serious, watched every episode, so sad that i now have to wait for uploads :c
Before I even get past the 4 min. mark, I just want to say. "NOT THE WEAVER ANTS". They were so cool. Something I had never heard about. So sad that we won't get to see more of their life and nests. It was really fascinating.
I stopped watching your content a while back (for some odd reason…) but now I am back… I am so AMAZED at all your work!! I have so many videos to watch now!! 😅🐜
There’s something so poetic about you narrating how the weaver ants queens ran out of silk & the weavers are all huddled together under a leaf with a light stream of silk coming down with the sunlight….😢 RIP Weavers
Hey AC , can’t believe it’s been a year!🎉 this is maybe one of my favourite shows in the Internet. It’s remarkable how much I learned this passt year just by watching your videos. I also started watching your older content and it’s a blast my friend. To many more years and the nother Mil subs. 🎉🎉
I just BINGE watched your entire Cloud Rainforest Vivarium in 4 days, on my christmas break. I feel like you have created your own Genre, by combining documentary, experiment, "drama", and interaction with Fans and Viewers is uniquely refreshing and captivating for me. You are amazing! Keep doing what you are doing.
When you really observe nature it makes you think just how amazing the creator of all must be to have created life on earth where everything is important & dependent on each other in some way shape or form. I give all praise to the most high especially for ant Canada showing me a snippet of how awesome our creator is & the education i get from this channel. May God bless you & your vivariums with success because you're a very educational channel to watch. Shalom Aleichem ❤
I feel like I was taking crazy pills 🤪 Glad I came to the comments to double check if I had imagined that lmao, it even seemed to be said with different inflection too 😅
Thank you for this year! I always loved nature and animals, but insects always scare me a little bit. Your video's made me see how much these insects do for us, and I found myself caring about it a lot during this year of the rainforest vivarium and arcadia, lovely to see all the little personalities of the insects and other animals.
hey man i want you to know this. i love your videos so so so much and your helping me get through some tough times. keep it up because this keeps others up too
Much love my Brother Thank you for telling and producing such a great series. I want you on Rogen. I'm trying to get a hold of Jamie. You are more important than you think. It's important that we teach each other. 🙏
Already been a year... it flew by... still so excited to watch this serie. Sorry for snip and the weaver ants. I think it will be good when Godzilla is gone. Think he/she is too big now. It is really interesting to see how species differ during the episodes. They come and go... how mother nature always recovers... thank you... looking forward to the 4th season... best serie I ever seen... ❤❤❤ I wish you but success and hope lots of people see your series... how important balance is in nature and that humans are the worst animals on the planet... ❤❤❤
No way it's been a year already. Happy Birthday to Pantdora! It's been such a wonder to see these small animals living their lives in larger than life HD. Here's to more and more years of these vivariums!
Im so obsessed with videos about ecosystems ive been watching u for over 5 months im do obsessed that i decided my future job will be a scientist that studies animals bugs and plants and i want to do the stuff that u do thank you do much for making every sunday interesting and giving me a new life plan
22:00 [Neo] A black cat went passed us, and then another just like it. And as always, here on the AntWarsCanada Ant Wars Channel! This is truly the best Vivarium/terrarium/aquarium channel there is.
Mikey, you have UNMATCHED cinematography skill. I wait every week for a new episode! I hope this channel grows into something bigger than we could have ever hoped for! 💯
Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary!! May many more years come! Id love to see the waterfall in action again, perhaps inmproved with some epiphytes. Cant wait for the 3rd Vivarium!
Yes getting the waterfall in action again would be great. That would be a perfect opportunity to add more epiphytes is they are an integral part of the tropical rainforest . There are many small orchids that would thrive there such as species of Dendrobium and Pleurothallis. Also there are species of small creeping ferns which are epiphytic and would do very well on the waterfall.
Man, I started this series one week ago. I can't believe I've already reached the end (I mean, the last episode at the moment). Time flyes when you're having fun.
Can you use rope instead of vines to link the two areas? RIP Snip 😢 please add more when godzilla moves out. Love to see mouse at lower level, and bird above. Fantastic series I watch with 6 of my granddaughters, thankyou for helping thier education, they now appreciate the tiny creatures existence ❤
This is such a beautiful channel. So much of nature can go unseen or forgotten and just the beauty of it all and the passion that you have for all forms of life (except worms lol) is truly stunning to watch
This is truely amazing. I have been a subscriber for a very long time, back then it was only small ant farms :) I am glad that things have been working out for you guys and you continue to spread this joyful and captivating content!
It makes me happy to see the pink weevil is still around every week ❤ I'm going to miss the weaver ants though. It was so tragic seeing what was left of their colony.
The weavers were spotted suffering from fungus infections. They might not be suited to the humidity in the vivarium. Even their first concern was establishing multiple nests for ventilation, and adjusting their nests for ventilation. THey probably needed more airflow and a delicate, dryer condition despite how close they are to such a humid environment. I can imagine the airflow they may like in a natural environment hat isn't present here.
you have really changed my view on ants, before i stumbled upon your channel i thought of them as of no significance. but now im quite excitied to see ants, especiall those i now. I never even considered that trap jaw ands or dwarf ants could exist and my place, until i encountered one quite recently, which was exciting! Thank u 😍
Sad to see the cremato blasters become the sort of villains of Orchadia. I remember when they were the underdog third party in the Marauder vs Black Crazy Ant war
Glad to hear you're getting lots of exposure around the world! Perhaps it's the fact that by having an enclosed biome, one we can all see evolve in such a short amount of time, we get to observe much of what nature is and how it changes. There's so much to learn and see; life, an unlimited mystery!
@AgHQ-xc4be exactly. For awhile we were losing some insects with no explanation as to what happened. Like rocksteady for example. Now with him adding more and more to the two vivariums with plans to do more, it just seems like he is gonna need more help in the mystery department Small unobtrusive, weather-proof cameras may do the trick.
I don’t know if you read all of your comments, but I just want you to know that I absolutely love the passion you have for nature and your videos are so educational and amazing and phenomenal. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤
AC Family, we made it to 1 yr and another Season of nature discovery! Heart is so full writing this! Thank you for an amazing year. Some big plans are coming up next!

-for the dolichoderus, in my experience they are extremely fragile as a species when relocated to a new location and are also not avid hunters unlike larger species such as trapjaws. Thus they likely failed to acquire the proper resources needed to sustain their colony and died.
This channel is therapy for me XD
My therapy is minecraft 7:54

I love watching these, honestly... Idk know y, i mean i love nature, but never really paid any attention to ANTS until now. I look forward to ur new videos popping up on my page. Thanks for ur hard work man and i love the progress you have made... Cant wait for the next season...
Love this series man keep it up!
I have watched all those series, I didn't miss a single one. I even watched it when I met my girlfriend for the first time (LDR). Unfortunately the relationship is over already, but my love for your series isn't. Everytime I watch it, one I cry but the other ones smiles with happiness 😊
UA-cam had the gall, nerve, and gumption to not notify me of this masterpiece for TWENTY SIX whole minutes. Unacceptable.
Try an hour
Literally what i was about to post @@Wildiscool
Unbelievable the nerve of these guys! Haha
@@Wildiscool How very dare they.
@@languageresources2314i love I'm not the only drag race/antscanada fan
Aww, so sad seeing that group of weavers huddled under that leaf. It would be great to see another colony moved into Orchadia, they mike enjoy it more now that it's better established, and I really enjoyed watching the weavers build the leaf nests.
Nooo not the weavers 😭😭😭 I was rooting for them
Me too. He mentioned the extinctions and I thought "not the green ants. Not the green ants", and then he started "the weaver ants" and I'm "NOOOooooo!!!"
It's been awhile since I last binge watched your channel, but I love the documentary style videos. The scope of your vivariums are crazy. It's all really amazing! Keep up the great work!
💔I’ll miss Snip! She was so cute and energetic! But I think we can say that Snap, since he has survived the worst, will be better equipped to survive in the long run.
I love weaver ants too. It was so heart breaking seeing that little group of survivors bunched up together waiting to die💔
This multi-vivarium ecosystem is gonna have more than 10 seasons, it's so amazing that this has 3 full seasons of discovery and challenges. I've been watching this channel since around 5 or more years ago and I love the content you make as we discover more about nature in every video! I know an end of a season means a break, usually, so have a great Christmas and New Year break!
Really excited for that swamp cave vivarium thing, I forgot since it's been so many episodes, but whatever it is, I'm hyped!
I love the way you speak about our creatures. The love and pain can be heard
just found your channel earlier this week for the first time, I'm now caught up with this serious, watched every episode, so sad that i now have to wait for uploads :c
I am sorry you have lost the weavers. I know you have wanted a colony of them for a long time but they are so tricky to keep.
Holy crap! I loved AntsCanada as a kid! You’ve come a long way since then!
This series is oddly relaxing
Really ?
Now you know how the aliens watching us and god feel like...😁
@@MrT_Rex Actually no, it’s just relaxing, nothing add about it
Before I even get past the 4 min. mark, I just want to say. "NOT THE WEAVER ANTS". They were so cool. Something I had never heard about. So sad that we won't get to see more of their life and nests. It was really fascinating.
Yay! I’m laid up for two weeks after having foot surgery. So good that my favorite channel is here to take my mind off the pain! Thank you.❤
Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏
@ thank you. Happy holidays!
@user-uj8dh7gf4g merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too
I stopped watching your content a while back (for some odd reason…) but now I am back… I am so AMAZED at all your work!! I have so many videos to watch now!! 😅🐜
We appreciate your hard work!! Thank you so much for teaching us about the things you love!!
So excited to see what happens with the ecosystem next!
There’s something so poetic about you narrating how the weaver ants queens ran out of silk & the weavers are all huddled together under a leaf with a light stream of silk coming down with the sunlight….😢 RIP Weavers
Hey AC , can’t believe it’s been a year!🎉 this is maybe one of my favourite shows in the Internet. It’s remarkable how much I learned this passt year just by watching your videos. I also started watching your older content and it’s a blast my friend.
To many more years and the nother Mil subs. 🎉🎉
I just BINGE watched your entire Cloud Rainforest Vivarium in 4 days, on my christmas break. I feel like you have created your own Genre, by combining documentary, experiment, "drama", and interaction with Fans and Viewers is uniquely refreshing and captivating for me. You are amazing! Keep doing what you are doing.
Totally agree hes got something really special here
Ooooh can’t wait to see what happens this episode!!!
When you really observe nature it makes you think just how amazing the creator of all must be to have created life on earth where everything is important & dependent on each other in some way shape or form. I give all praise to the most high especially for ant Canada showing me a snippet of how awesome our creator is & the education i get from this channel.
May God bless you & your vivariums with success because you're a very educational channel to watch.

21:43 mistake spotted! Duplicate lines played back to back 😂
Its finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/ZTk9LfLkUTA/v-deo.html
I feel like I was taking crazy pills 🤪
Glad I came to the comments to double check if I had imagined that lmao, it even seemed to be said with different inflection too 😅
I noticed it too 🤣
Easily fixed in UA-cam studio : snip snip! And voilà!
Was it a different black cat? or the same black cat?
Congrats on one year of this project. Been glued to it since stumbling across your channel and love watching the development of everything.
Loved the update on all the ants . Great video!
Thank you for this year! I always loved nature and animals, but insects always scare me a little bit. Your video's made me see how much these insects do for us, and I found myself caring about it a lot during this year of the rainforest vivarium and arcadia, lovely to see all the little personalities of the insects and other animals.
Congratulations Ant Canada, I love your channel.
hey man i want you to know this. i love your videos so so so much and your helping me get through some tough times. keep it up because this keeps others up too
Much love my Brother
Thank you for telling and producing such a great series. I want you on Rogen. I'm trying to get a hold of Jamie. You are more important than you think. It's important that we teach each other. 🙏
Thank you. I'm honored. 🙏🐜🌿
Already been a year... it flew by... still so excited to watch this serie. Sorry for snip and the weaver ants. I think it will be good when Godzilla is gone. Think he/she is too big now. It is really interesting to see how species differ during the episodes. They come and go... how mother nature always recovers... thank you... looking forward to the 4th season... best serie I ever seen... ❤❤❤ I wish you but success and hope lots of people see your series... how important balance is in nature and that humans are the worst animals on the planet... ❤❤❤

The amount of love and dedication you put on your craft is tremendous. You deserve a lot for your talent and passion.
Bag worms are SO COOL, i saw an aquatic version of one that had encased itself in tiny stones and it was actually pretty beautiful 😊
It's always a pleasure to start the week with a journey into the rainforest.
No way it's been a year already. Happy Birthday to Pantdora! It's been such a wonder to see these small animals living their lives in larger than life HD. Here's to more and more years of these vivariums!
Im so obsessed with videos about ecosystems ive been watching u for over 5 months im do obsessed that i decided my future job will be a scientist that studies animals bugs and plants and i want to do the stuff that u do thank you do much for making every sunday interesting and giving me a new life plan
cant believe ive been watching this series for a year
Incredible how far this channel has come. I came here 15 years ago looking for content on ants and have never been disappointed since. Big thanks
This series has been absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Pantdora, Orchadia, and beyond.
22:00 [Neo] A black cat went passed us, and then another just like it.
And as always, here on the AntWarsCanada Ant Wars Channel!
This is truly the best Vivarium/terrarium/aquarium channel there is.
I hope to see Pantora reach year 2 🤞🏼
Congratulations on 1 Year !
Happy Birthday Pantdora. I wish you the best and that you survive and evolve over the next few years.
I love how the second vivarium has not nearly as many animals and he’s already starting a third one
Hey Antscanada I hope season 4 will be even greater than season 1 2 and 3 combined Have a good one man Btw Your gonna cook with season 4
Mikey, you have UNMATCHED cinematography skill. I wait every week for a new episode! I hope this channel grows into something bigger than we could have ever hoped for! 💯
I Agree
Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary!! May many more years come! Id love to see the waterfall in action again, perhaps inmproved with some epiphytes. Cant wait for the 3rd Vivarium!
Yes getting the waterfall in action again would be great. That would be a perfect opportunity to add more epiphytes is they are an integral part of the tropical rainforest . There are many small orchids that would thrive there such as species of Dendrobium and Pleurothallis. Also there are species of small creeping ferns which are epiphytic and would do very well on the waterfall.
Watching your videos is the highlight of my week! Your passion for ants and their colonies really shines through. Keep up the amazing work!
Once godzilla is moved out, are you gonna do another big animal migration event
Godzilla is gonna leave?
?????
@@Sinisteromaygad To live in a big outside pool setup
@@juha-mattikoponen1625 well it’s better for him
I think he will be staying inside for a little while. I think the 3th project will be a swamp terrarium @@juha-mattikoponen1625
Man, I started this series one week ago. I can't believe I've already reached the end (I mean, the last episode at the moment). Time flyes when you're having fun.
Can you use rope instead of vines to link the two areas?
RIP Snip 😢 please add more when godzilla moves out.
Love to see mouse at lower level, and bird above.
Fantastic series I watch with 6 of my granddaughters, thankyou for helping thier education, they now appreciate the tiny creatures existence ❤
This is such a beautiful channel. So much of nature can go unseen or forgotten and just the beauty of it all and the passion that you have for all forms of life (except worms lol) is truly stunning to watch
I don't know how but your content just gets better and better!!💚💚💚
The amount of work out into this project and these videos is insane. This stuff is so interesting, it's awesome. Thanks for doing this!
You should add a dwarf snakehead to the water area,there really cool there native to south east asia
❤
Agree
Love these guys!
Yesss my favourite fish 🐟
This is truely amazing. I have been a subscriber for a very long time, back then it was only small ant farms :) I am glad that things have been working out for you guys and you continue to spread this joyful and captivating content!
wow it has been a year already, dang i lived all episodes and am really invested in this keep it up my man ❤
It makes me happy to see the pink weevil is still around every week ❤
I'm going to miss the weaver ants though. It was so tragic seeing what was left of their colony.
The weavers were spotted suffering from fungus infections. They might not be suited to the humidity in the vivarium. Even their first concern was establishing multiple nests for ventilation, and adjusting their nests for ventilation. THey probably needed more airflow and a delicate, dryer condition despite how close they are to such a humid environment. I can imagine the airflow they may like in a natural environment hat isn't present here.
you have really changed my view on ants, before i stumbled upon your channel i thought of them as of no significance. but now im quite excitied to see ants, especiall those i now. I never even considered that trap jaw ands or dwarf ants could exist and my place, until i encountered one quite recently, which was exciting! Thank u 😍
Sad to see the cremato blasters become the sort of villains of Orchadia. I remember when they were the underdog third party in the Marauder vs Black Crazy Ant war
I think they are cool and if them becoming a little villanous helps keep the invasive ants in check then I say go Cromatoblasters!
Either you die a hero, or live enough to become the villain
The dark hoard came back… and no one is talking about them. I remember them being the main villain.
@@OmegaZilla-gy3vw Yeah, they just haven't established themselves yet
Happy birthday to dear Pnadora! Endurance! Don't give up!
In the first two minutes of watching this video, the view count jumped by tens of thousands and the like count jumped by 6,000. Good job!
Glad to hear you're getting lots of exposure around the world! Perhaps it's the fact that by having an enclosed biome, one we can all see evolve in such a short amount of time, we get to observe much of what nature is and how it changes. There's so much to learn and see; life, an unlimited mystery!
Have you ever thought about putting in baby cameras in different, hard to reach, areas of the vivariums?
stationary cams or a cam to look in the stump etc?
Are there baby cameras with high quality? Genuine question tho😅
@AgHQ-xc4be exactly. For awhile we were losing some insects with no explanation as to what happened. Like rocksteady for example. Now with him adding more and more to the two vivariums with plans to do more, it just seems like he is gonna need more help in the mystery department
Small unobtrusive, weather-proof cameras may do the trick.
@@FloTubePro I sure hope so. I mean it's 2024. Look at some of things we've accomplished
Ooh like a 24 hour live stream ^^
I don’t know if you read all of your comments, but I just want you to know that I absolutely love the passion you have for nature and your videos are so educational and amazing and phenomenal. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤
one whole year- From someone who's been here from the start... it's been a journey. Thank you for this, AntsCanada
Cant wait for the next season, haven't missed the first one.
Anyone else wondering how Animal planet or discovery hasn’t picked up this series yet is beyond my comprehension
Yeah ik right also first
This is awesome dude 👏
