Nice video! For my first time, years ago, I tried to find Lasius n. ants and I only found Formica rufa (which are is protected species so don't bother them). I just realize later that I have some Lasius on my terrace!
Try looking at a different time of year. Also, try blacklighting next year and starting colonies from just queens. Reply if you want to know more about blacklighting.
The best way to get ants is to lay down some banana peels with a little banana still left in it with orange peels and coffee grounds, and trust me, you will get way more ants than you will know what to do with. I learned this with my compost heap.
@@AntsBritania Sometimes between rocks there are cracks i found mine inside of a crack. Ps it is better to search for the queen next year and start from 0 because you do take natura a part wich took years to develop.😉
Taha when I was first looking for acorn ants, I ended up finding dwarf leaf cutter ants for the first time.

Great seeing you putting up more content now
The title reveal gave me chills
Nice video I wish I had a forest near me though 😁
Your catching Lasius queens in October in the uk?
Try looking at a different time of year. Also, try blacklighting next year and starting colonies from just queens. Reply if you want to know more about blacklighting.
I want to know more, I have a black light so maybe a few tips on how to use it properly?
@@angelosvass1001 I think from what I’ve seen u have to place it on table at night and turn it on the wait for queens to come
Good Job 😊

@@sgk66117both
Yeah, I'm geussing this just attracts workers though right?
Is your thumb double jointed? It looks kinda different.
I found Camponotus Floridanius a year ago and they have 22 workers and about to have their population explosion
Thanks ants Britania for liking the comment
Only 22 in a year? Do you feed them?
U know adopting ants is so hard
It's easy if you know what you are doing.
Do acorn ants survive floods?
I didnt know that you can find queen bees in acorns.
This time you unes your logical thinking and brought test tubes only which you want and also right amount of cotton
I need help if I have no rocks queen ants can’t come to my home 😔
Well we just got 10 cm of snow so no ants for me
