Saying Goodbye to Some Beloved Animals in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2024
- My giant cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora, has been constantly transforming since its creation. The plants, fungi, and animals are involved in an interdependent, never-ending biological cycle. But, after watching the animals in the vivarium live out their lives over time, it becomes hard to say goodbye to them when they die. A new season brings new life to the ecosystem, and it was a bitter sweet reality to learn, as we say goodbye to some Pantdoran OG's in the rainforest, but not without a surprise Easter egg. Hope you enjoy Season 2, Episode 1 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Man, I'm not ok... but I'm ok... Welcome to Season 2 of the Ecosystem Vivarium Series "Summer". Ant love forever!
Hi!
welcome back!
R.I.P Stanley…….
R.I.P Green Reaper………
Don't be surprised she lays another egg sack.....up to three/four
"A personal biological project of mine."
That's how my dad introduces me to people.
I can't help but be reminded of the lines:
"Are you conducting a scientific experiment, O'Neill?"
"Hey, that salsa is still good!"
From StarGate SG-1.
I am totally using this with my kids now 😂
Brutal😂
I’m ur first sub
This is way to funny to not steal. Hope you don't mind...scoop
Season 10: *"Jeffrey, our first human in the Vivarium has finally acclimated! What a miracle of life"*
This joke is funny on multiple levels. I giggled for at least one minute.
@@vermeirenb Wait until he introduces Hannah to live with Jeffrey...
We will see a spike in views when they mate. @@JoaoGabriel-hk8ub
Thats funny 😂 i laught the whole tims
".... but Lady Deathstrike has OTHER plans for Jeffrey, plans that will change the landscape of the Vivarium... FOREVER."
This series has everything.
Drama, comedy, romance, tragedy, all in one glass box.
Just like nature
Nature has life , drama , romance , and tragedy on one planet
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
agreed
How sad, despite how weak Stanley was, he made one final attempt to climb up high, sing his final song in a desperate attempt to find a mate.
Yeah😢
stanley
It made me tear up. Rest in peace, dear Stanley 😭
I don't have much time to watch this series.
What was Stanley?
@@FawnTheCreator16:55
Hands down the best biology related youtube series right now. Does a great job presenting an ecosystem in a natural manner but still manages to include a storyline and a level of personality for the viewers through letting us decide where the story goes. Could watch this series forever!
Thank you for being part of Pantdora's journey. Ant love forever! 🙏🐜❤️🌿
Ants love forever!

ANT LOVE FOREVER❤🔥
Normally I never subscribe or hit the like button on anything. Canada is the only exception. Ant love forever bro!
This channel changed/saved my life. From watching the fire nation trying to escape. I started getting into nature more. Respecting all life. And now even raising a bunch of my own lizards, bugs, and pets! Thank you AntsCanada
same! my view on the world changed from my own to the bug's tiny view of this giant world and it changed me. My passion has leaned Jumping spiders but I really want to start an ant colony when the nuptial flight happens here
thats fantastic to hear!
Your comment is infested with wild bots. They feed on unsuspecting childrens views and subscribers. The best way to deal with them is report and ignore them. Its best to call a bot exterminator to help you. Also, i agree that this channel is important for many, its what inspired me to make my outdoor terrarium.
I’m thinking about making a terrarium for a mantis.
I love this channel & when an upload didn’t happen last week I was so lost. I look forward to it.
I know that's not Shia LaBeouf, but my brain is 100% convinced I'm watching Shia LaBeouf posing dramatically in front of a large terrarium.
Lmao I can’t unsee it now 😂
RIP Stanley, your jingle bells made the world a merrier place. RIP Lady Reaper, your legacy will live on. ETA: Holy crap, male mantises are dedicated! I think they may win the prize for most thirsty insect.
Nah, jews
As beautiful as your exhibit is, it showcases the harsh reality for life in the rainforest. You actually brought the rainforst into your home and your so lucky to be able to experience these things. Hard not to get attached to some of the insects and other creatures in there, but just remember that's how life goes for them.
It's not a harsh reality of a rainforest. These species would never be in this close proximity. As entertainment, it's great. As an actual biosphere, it's awful.
You dont think things get eaten in the rainforest? haha it happens @@MarkYoon
Mother nature gives life, but she also taketh away.
@@ZombieRumm This is not the rainforest. Proximity matters in nature.
@@MarkYoon He didn't even try and introduce a good fraction of these creatures, as he moved in plants and other things they just _were there._ Sure, he added in the in the sun skink and the giant spider and frogs, but they seem to barely make a dent in the insect population. There may need to actually be more predators to control the abundance of insects.
“little did i know” is ur fav sentence 😂
This is my comfort show. I love when you exclaim "yay!".I love the music and all the sound effects. The narrative and your kind musings.
Thanks for watching!
Little miss green is a lovely new addition❤😊

Any name ideas for Green Reaper Mk. 2?
From what I can find from a few papers, it looks like the best bet for this type of geoplanidae is a carnivorous snail. Rectartemon depressus specifically was mentioned in a paper regarding control of invasive land flatworms. Hope this helps :)
Hope he sees this!
Commenting to gain attention on previous post
Thisss!!!!
good to know
As a Canadian, I appreciate him not changing his channel name after moving! This guy is a legend!
Canada doesn't real
Considering how lame and melodramatic this channel is, AntsCanada probably is a Trudeau supporter.
@@alexiskobalt7450he lives in the philippines (i think)
@@BreadBreadBreaddd Yes, I KNOW he moved to that part of the world. My point is that him still calling all this AntCanada - and being such a lame jackass all go together.

@@FlutterSpyProduction tell that to Muslims, who pray every hour 😂
still the best soap opera on the internet ...
you have awoken an addiction in many of us that you have to keep on feeding for years to come!
Literally, I am hooked!
I start to hating it. I just want to watch about an ecosystem. Life has enough of drama already for me to want it online too.
@mossy_brickens but in nature drama ALWAYS happens 🤷♀️ plus accidents also happen
@@kiwikrg I was fine with this extra energy in his delivery overall, but now it's second video in a row that's highly based on dramatisation of something that isn't that dramatic. I had animals escaping their enclosures, it's not so shocking and jaw dropping. This tank had animals dying before, some are being eaten with some funny music on a background, so it's not that big either. One mantis is being eaten is fine, another one is dead is huge drama, but they're the same... idk, I'm not a fan of dramatic content in general. I usually watch based on my actual interests. So this series is love-hate for me. Simultaneously the best side of content, being about a specific interest based thing, and the worst side, being made in this big UA-camr jaw dropping shocking you won't believe what happened way.
@@mossy_brickens that was a nice speech an most of the time i agree with your general opinion of over dramatization is annoying ..
.. but in this case i am standing over here like "dicks out for green reaper" 🤣🤣
Can't believe this actually made me cry. RIP Green Reaper and Stanley forever in our hearts 😢
Long live Stanley
29:15 I actually got chills on that closing monologue when I realized that the critters that pass away will stay in pandoras ecosystem. Of course I already knew that, but there's something ethereal in knowing that their physical selves will be recycled but their souls will live on... RIP Stanley and Miss Green Reaper 🕊
Lovely philosophical monologue indeed! What eventually is representing all life around and we should cherish this perspective more. The circle of energy.
That little bit actually made me sit and think about how we pump our dead full of chemicals and put them in caskets in very specific locations... i'm thinking I might save enough that when I die my body can be buried where nature can fully reap the benefit from my remains
@@patrick7742 right? and we put ourselves in boxes to put a barrier between ourselves and the earth
It's important to take the time you need to properly create the content that you are known for. We missed you greatly, but please don't take it as a constant push for content. We appreciate the stories and way you tell them when you are comfortable. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the diverse beauty of nature and all the things we can learn from Pantdora. also, yes on the 24/7 live stream. even just a gi pro in the corner to start. would be fun
Hard disagree, its important he take time to create content he cares about and he is happy with, it does not in any way need to be the content he is known for.
"I"
Use the correct pronoun
up
i dont think you understand how SMALL these insects are, you would literally barely be able to see them with a corner camera in 1080p, he's super zoomed in when showing them on youtube
He actually has fun making it.
I didn't expect this, but im glad you're continuing to upload Pantdora. Yay for another episode. Sad and excited for the cycle of life

This guy is so invested he cryed when a couple of his insects died. I think the fact he's just so invested in it makes it more interesting to watch.
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Even though this episode was sad to watch, It was a great show. Can't wait to see my fav green reaper babies. Ant love forever❤
Thank you for being part of Pantdora's journey. 🙏❤️🌿🐜 Bow.
There is a species of snail. Rectartemon depressus that feed on land planaria and also some species of beetles too. But thats about it.
What feasts on millipedes? They look like tanks. Probably some pathogen?
@@raylopez99If those mantis eggs hatch, millipede will be on the menu. ;)
And they're potentially biologically immortal! Joy!
A snail eating a worm, now that's entertainment.
Ground beetle and rove beetle
Have you ever thought about live streaming the vivarium? I would definitely watch that!
Facts same
That could be really cool tho maybe some privacy issues for the animals 😉
@@lackofcontentor Micky. I'm sure we would see him scuttling about outside the glass.

Interesting idea, but I suppose he would lack privacy as it's a home.
Ive taken acid once and watched 12hrs of documentaries about ants and somehow (and thankfully) I came across your channel. You have absolutely changed my way about insects... Youve given me new thoughts about how I view them. The way you talk and teach us about them is insane, and I value it so much :)
🙏🐜🌿❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣bless your ❤
You did what lemur do and just took a millapide and got a taste of that defense acid
never thought i would mourn the loss of a bush cricket and a praying mantis yet here i am
FUNGUS IDS
7:07 Young Gymnopilus luteofolius; deep purple spiky cap when young is a good tell
7:09 Mycena sp.; small, fragile, and with cap striations and fuzzy stipe is a good tell
7:11 Gymnopilus luteofolius; ^^
7:18 Probably Gymnopilus; gilled mushroom growing on wood and warm colored primarily with occasional cool colored blotches in some species as well as veils and scaly-caps are good tells for Gymnopilus
7:20 Schizophyllum commune; White w/ fuzzy pileus with (not pictured) pinkish split gills
7:23 Gymnopilus fulvosquamulosus; yellow gilled w/ brownish-orangish spiky scales on cap
Your Gymnopilus species alongside Schizophyllum commune are actively digesting the tree stump and likely providing food to grazing invertebrates; your Mycena species are decomposing litter/soil and also providing food to small grazing invertebrates. I can also imagine the Gymnopilus species are likely fighting amongst themselves and the Schizophyllum commune and various other possible wood saprotrophs living in the stump over area and nutrients, which is something you cannot see but is still notable through effects such as the disappearance of new fruiting bodies of some of these fungi from the stump for extended periods, which can also be attributed to the levels of resources left in the stump over longer periods of time and various other factors. There is essentially an unseen game of strategy playing out amongst the fungi in Pantdora.;
Wow! Thank you for this! 🍄🙌
@@AntsCanada Of course!!! I'll always be commenting these on videos that feature fungi, so look out for them. I've posted quite a few on your other videos as well.
As much as it hurts to see dedicated residents pass, nature is about constant change and growth and more change. Your dialogue is excellent in portraying the drama that is played out daily without our giving it any thought. Your ability to shine a light on the interconnectedness of all life is truly a gift and my sincerest thanks.
Well said @sandyhayden-bristow1382
I'm very new here, like last night new. I help take care of my 3 nephews (under 10). For over 24 hours they haven't asked to watch a movie, play a video game etc. We have been captivated by this. Thank you so much man. It's so awesome to see these young boys so interested in something educational!
Thanks for sharing!!
Never expected to be sad by a death of insects, but here I am. This series is amazing to show the circle of life, from earth we all came and to there we will return. And as you said, the energy of those who died will make new life’s flourish! It’s strangely intimate how all life is connected
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Literally the best thing on youtube these days - and im not dissing on other creators, this is just sooo good! love the closeups we get on all kinds of natural processes!
🙏❤️🐜🌿
i had 0 interest in little creatures, ecosystems and stuff but the rainforest vivarium series has changed my mind and now i'm hooked.
All it took was a shot of a bug doing something "cute" 😂❤
Same never had any care about anything he's doing before but have been hooked ever since the first video
This is social media crack 😊
Sad youbneed a man to act out carictores so you can relate with nature
Watching bees feed on my dearly departed mom's flowers gave me the "bug". Bees are very fascinating creatures.
At first I felt sad and a little down but as time went on, this was such a poetically beautiful episode! It's amazing to me how you manage to turn your private little universe into reality TV, a nature documentary, insights and lessons and bits of poetry for all of us. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much!
I have been dying to find a peaceful time without being interrupted so I could enjoy this video and ENJOYED I did. The excitement, suspense and tragedies was just perfect. Loved it bro and already excited for the next one. Thank you bro
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜
This is the new show I watch every week.
This channel should be included in every school's curriculum, we have a lot to learn about nature and what kid wouldn't want to watch this.
I couldn't agree more!
I LOVE ROCKSTEADY SO MUCH! I wanted to be a beetle scientist as a kid, hercules and rhino aren't native where I live but always fascinated me. God, I hope you can find hik a mate before he passes. Love your work❤❤❤❤
He's my personal favorite critter in this series, and I honestly don't care much for this kinda stuff usually. I hope he gets a mate too. He deserves it.
Your optimism at the end of the video is what we all need to hear. Thank you AC you really are a gem on UA-cam
I swear, this guy could start a series on paint drying, and still make it entertaining enough to have me on the edge of my seat for seasons.
True 😂😂
Ikr
As a content producer, I was thinking something similar. Like, how can I learn from him and provide a better entertainment and education for my viewers lol
I agree BIG DOGGIE 💯👣
In the time without a new video, i felt. Lost, confused, and sad, ive grown attached to the residents of pandora. And ive grown attached to pandora. Please keep this series for as long as you can ❤

RIP, Mr Stanley and Ms. Green Reaper. Always on our hearts!!
The amount of calm that comes with each of these videos, with light giggles sprinkled throughout have kept my anxiety at an all time low recently. I’m sorry for your losses. Mother Nature cane be a beautiful blessing but her ugly sides shine through as well. Keep preserving and remember.. in the great words of Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum):
“Life.. *UH* ... Finds a way”
RIP STANLEY AND GREEN REAPER. Thank you for your contributions in life, as well as in death, to the natural order and evolution of Pantdora. 💔 "For things of old must pass away to bring forth new life" 💞

We will miss them
@@SillyRedX Yes, both died :`(
7:00 i really am so excited that fungi is finally getting its well deserved recognition in the series. now we just need someone to identify them
Me too… love the different kinds popping up …. Like daisy’s!! 😂
they’re super hard to identify without doing an insane amount of work
@@jimmyjukebox2947 i know, im just dreaming out loud
Didn't think that your mini-rainforest-series, that I freshly discovered, would get so close to me... but I definitely feel you about the mantis !
I had the great pleasure of finding a Mantis in our garden (middle Europe, I think it's mainly "Mantis religiosa"), that was in the middle of the process of laying her egg sack !! I couldn't belive my eyes that I was so lucky to catch that moment personally ! 🥰 and then I finally knew what these strange white structures were, that I had already found randomly again and again in the garden: Mantis-egg-sacks ! 😁 I thought it was some kind of cocoon, but now I know better 😆
and I was a bit shocked to learn about Mantis that after laying the eggs, it will soon be over for them and if not, then their life span of only 1 year will end anyhow 😢 very sad to hear that they only live that short... the more merry when I find new Mantis in the following year, hiding in the garden, partially 2-3 at the same time (hidden on different places of course). So I don't know why, but I'm glad that our garden has been blessed to be chosen for these rare insects 😊and I'm already curious, what will come out of the final package of your Green Reaper ! 🤩
oh.... and speaking of rare insects: last year our "raised bed" in the garden got inherited by 'scoliid wasps' (should be "Megascolia maculata"), that were swarming all around during day time, so we better kept some respect distance - but in the late evening, when they were resting, we could harvest our vegetables, that were as huge and fabulous as never before ! I guess these wasps helped with lice and other small insects that were consuming the plants the year before ?...
I’m so sad about Stanley I nearly cried! Rest in peace Stanley…
Does anyone else remember when this channel was all about raising Ant colonies in your own homemade setup?
Man it's truly been a wild ride!
Yup! I have been here for years now
Been here for sooo long! 😂 back when he mainly used the little plastic ant houses. I remember the first time seeing him build a terrarium and having my mind BLOWN, all for the love of ants and the AC Nation! It’s ant love forever 🐜❤️ 😂
From raising ants to raising ecosystems, truly an impressive step up.
You got it, and it perfectly matches the discovery, coding, implementation and use of the technology that makes the magic happen. Enjoy your ai experience, sincerely Production of Artificial Inteligence. Trust me, I am a bot.
@@eewilson9835 are you okay? You sure seem to be commenting A LOT of hate on an ant farm channel.. like I never thought I would be typing that sentence. You just seem pretty unnecessarily angry. It’s ants, man. We just come here for a calming learning environment and because the presentation of his content is well done, especially for an ant farm channel. Mikey isn’t trying to do anything radical, just a man loving his ants and wanting to share that with people. Take a breath. Touch grass.. as the kids say. 😂
I hate bugs. I can’t get enough of your channel and content. I’m glued for every episode now. RIP Stanley & Green-reaper.
spoilers!!!
@@adamlastname9731 Don't read the comments before watching the video then lol
BRUH YOU SPOILED IT :(
Seriously like this channel freaks me out there are parts I literally have to cover my eyes for because they gross me out but for some reason I'm like addicted to watching and keep coming back for the next episode
I can't believe I'm crying over this. You created an abundance of life in one community and its brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!
Stanley and Green Reaper, what a journey! They will be missed.
I like the subtle inclusion of Vivaldi when talking about seasons. well done
Heh!
Im not the only one who noticed! 😁
There is a lot of subtle music that improves the episodes. Guy is talented!
What a rollercoaster of an episode, the twist with the Green Reaper's egg sac floored me.
He dident really spoil it actually i was gunna thank him , he used the word twist leaving you thinking , he never said what actually happened
So they did mate after all lol
I dont think they mated ! I think he put the sac there himself !
Of course they did. I called it in a comment on that episode. He literally cut out the part where they made contact and skipped to the male being eaten. He did it so he can act surprised when it laid an egg 🙄
@@thexanderthemander Seems likely. Also you can see movement in/on the left of the Mantis egg sac 25:46 so inb4 "oh em gee it IS fertilized"
I didn't expect the last bit to get so poetic and philosophical.
WHY is it ALL the cool stuff is in CANADA??? 😢 I LOVE this channel SO SO much- if there was a UA-cam award to be had, THIS creator deserves it more then anyone!!💚🏆🏆

He relocated to SE Asia
This was the story of a cricket named Stanley
Stanley lived in a terrarium in a big building where he was filmed by AntsCanada UA-cam channel.
Cricket Stanley's life was simple.
He walked along the vines and ate some leaves.
This is what Stanley did every day, of every month, of every year
And although others might have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that he got a chance to eat some leaves, as though he had been made exactly for this.
And Stanley was happy.
And then one day, something very peculiar happened, something that would forever change Stanley, something he would never quite forget.
He had been walking along a vine, when he realized that nature has its own plans on his life.
Never in all of his weeks at the terrarium has this happened, this strange thought never came to him.
Something was very clearly wrong.
Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time.
But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, Stanley left his now empty husk and went on a new adventure as a part of an ecosystem he was already in.
C'mon man, you can't make me laugh and then cry in the exact same comment
oh, that was great. thanks for that🙂
thank you
🤡
This comment wins ❤
I know I've commented this a hundred times but now that you have Smaug you gotta name the Dwarf Ants Durin's Folk it's too perfect.

When he says "This was not how I imagined Stanley to go" I have to wonder what did he imagine would happen. Because being eaten was how I imagined it.
The ultimate sacrifice to give continuity to your lineage: a male praying mantis that throws himself to death just to have the opportunity to mate in a split second while being eaten alive. Kudos to you brave being.
I'm pretty sure that's how young human males also feel these days.

yeah true
Never thought I’d be committed to watching every episode of these insects lives but the way these videos play out is actually to good 🙌🏼
I've had other favorite colonies that got me watching 90% of their episodes, like The Golden Empire, but this vivarium is something else, next level. Truly top-tier UA-cam happening.
Your video have gotten better over the years, and so have all of the habitats you create. One thing I noticed most of all after watching one of your older videos is how absolutely JACKED you have gotten. You've gotten buff over the years!
I still cant get over how far AC has come, I was watching back when you had lil test tubes n stuff. This entire ecosystem really is amazing.
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
If you would of told me a few weeks ago that I would be watching a vivarium show on youtube every week I would of thought you mad. There is something infectious about how much you enjoy and love what you are doing that really comes across and makes your content hit so much different that expected. Love the show, keep up the good work man.
I've been watching this channel on my weekend mornings for 7 years now. You won't be disappointed.

@@daveyanderson6166 I've come and gone in those 7 years, but this vivarium has me 100% hooked.
I know the forest evolves with time as the seasons change, but it's still sad to have lost our beloved friends. I never thought I'd come to love these critters as much as I do, but this episode brought me to tears right along with you. 💔💔
Dayummmmmm, Warner bros aint got nothing on you now bro!
Remember finding ur channel like 7 years ago and you production is insane now🔥🔥🔥
Im so sorry for your loss man.. we in the AC family are all here for you. And we will always be here for each amazing & eye opening endeavor you include us in! Much love you to and Pantdora ❤
I just built my first few Terrariums as I randomly stumbled onto your channel. I've made 10 Jars this week, made a container for Mold growing and bought my first few spring tails that are going to be cultivated. I am so happy with this journey and excited to see more of your videos!! Thank you for the inspiration.
Wait no one is talking about the string net bed he had in his house? I truly feel AntsCanada has just built a house all of us as children would build!
It took me a second to figure that out, then I had the same thought. A cool net bed, a vivarium, I'm sure his place is a wonder! 👍
Yeah. Cool stuff. I watch his other chanel his everyday vlog. Mikey Bustos Vlog I got to see his everyday living his other life outside antscanada👌
His personal vlog has some tours of the home, highly recommend
The man has an aviary too. And a pool bar
Can you help me find aviary videos?
rip stanley and green reaper. may you live on forever! Thanks for the memories!
You really should have a camera posted to the vivarium 24/7, so in those cases where an insect dies you can rewatch it and get a confirmation👀 Love the series!
I have never felt so sad about any insect before, but Stanley and The Green Repper both passing away just hit me differently, I hope one day you'll have another bush cricket just munching on those vines someday.
May both Stanley and The Green Repper never be forgotten and may they both rest in peace.

@@frowner_and_co HAHAHAH it was! thank you. that's weird for me, i'm not that fluent in English.
Two episodes in this is an amazing trove of quality educational content to binge on. Thanks to Ian for recommending this to me! Hours of learning and soul soothing experience
Welcome aboard!
This series is amazing AC! I've literally never been more on the edge of my seat than for this season 2 premier! This is better than any TV Show! Keep em coming and RIP to all the OGs!
🙏🐜🌿❤️
I was beyond happy when I saw the mantis egg sac, almost brought a tear to my eye. Never did I think the male would have somehow completed his mission and secured the next generation of mantises before he was eaten. After the death of Stanley and the green reaper I was a little sad, I’ve been watching this channel since the ant colony days and I’ve been emotionally invested in this jungle for ages. Great to see that nature always works out in the end, regardless of what happens. There are never any mistakes, everything is meant to happen the way it does. This is huge for the future of Pandora.
Can a female mantis lay the egg sac even if she hasn't mated?
Yes
@@TheRealColt45 We don’t know if she mated, there were 1-3 hour gaps in between the shots in the video, so no one knows if the male was able to mate with the green reaper. Apparently, it was able to because if not, an egg sac would not have been able to form. Also, we don’t know if they somehow mated on the first night, or some time when the cameras weren’t on at night or throughout the day.
@@iDropPhats Mystery! After doing a bit of UA-cam sleuthing it appears that the female mantis can lay an egg sac if not fertilized but who knows. This will be very interesting to watch!
@@TheRealColt45 Indeed so, I’m also interested in the huntsman spider egg sac and whether it’s fertilized or not. So many things to watch out for, that’s the beauty of a project like this! Everything is always happening
Nooooo stanly😢😢😢😢😢😢
The first mass extinction event in the vivarium..also bow
🙇🏻♀️
@@Mystery65344 why I have to bow
Why does translating to English add 1 emoji
@@Mystery65344that's a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe a dozen insects died, out of literally thousands, if you count the ants and crickets and millipedes.
The mantis episode was crazy
Hearing the way you view fungi gave me a completely new perspective on mushrooms. Your storytelling is thought provoking and beautiful. ❤🍄
What’s cool about this channel is that Mikey makes learning fun and entertaining. I hope this series last forever.
These episodes are beginning to creep me out but I love this channel
This series is a work of art! I was wondering here,,, how about adding some Bioluminescent Fungi? It would look incredible! Keep up with the good work!
Producing this level of content with a production team of people would be incredibly impressive. I don’t know if it’s just you or not, but I can’t emphasize enough how high quality the content is. Cheers mate, please keep it up, and make sure you don’t burn yourself out. We all need vacations now and again.
He’s a one-man team. He films it by himself and also the one who edits and narrates. I guess that’s why he misses some of the footage of the mantises “probably” mating when he’s not around
This isn't even his only channel either
@@agen0019 He has a videographer and an editor. You can see them on his other channel.
😢 RIP to the fallen, it was so sad, but at the same time it's so beautiful to see new babies popping up, new life sprouting, surprise new fungi, eggs everywhere. Awesome episode, bud, keep up the good work, this has very quickly and easily become my favorite series.
Honestly, with how large she was, i was pretty convinced that the Green Reaper may have managed to get pregnant despite everything, so while i'm sad to see her go, it's nice to know her legacy will continue. probably.
Hello!!
I’m newer to your channel, and I just want to say it’s friggin AWESOME!!! I thoroughly enjoy that you ask us questions when you don’t know something. Personally I’m new to keeping Bioactive systems, so it’s really cool to get a play by play of Pantdora. SUPER inspiring and also the videography is just stunning. Thank you!!
Welcome aboard!
That was a sad ending for me, the death of Stanley, green reaper, and even the grass hoppers. It’s even more sad that mites are now taking over the terra raiders! This episode was such a journey for me! I will be so in to the next episode!
This is the new show I watch every week
Not every week per say, last week for example you did not watch.
I was about to comment something to that effect also. This is every bit as good as a Netflix production and in my head there’s no difference lol
fr this is my favorite show rn
@@romulosilva9896 but we want to, that’s the similarity
The return of AC’s fear of earthworms!
Thank you for coming back so soon!
You've dedicated so much time and energy to this. I've learned so much I didn't know before. Thank you for this. You are not only entertaining, but educational and interactive. I'm sorry for the loss of the little ones...it's always hard to watch a little life you've observed for a long time and grown attached to passes on...
You have the perfect narrator voice
Maybe all of us are just living in someone else's gigantic terrarium and we don't know it.
We went to the American Museum of Natural History a few days ago and when I realized I was standing in the same bug place you were I got super excited to see the honeypot ants and leaf cutter ants!
The leaf cutter ants were foraging and their nest was bigger now!
I am definitely for a 24 hour livestream! It gives the community a chance to see what goes on in the vivarium when you’re not filming and to possibly see things you can’t always see by yourself.
Some level of Patreon membership would be a great vehicle and member benefit for a 24 hour livestream.
