🔥❗GIVEAWAY❗🔥 Comment on this comment to participate 😄 *No other comments will count* Question nr. 1, What ants will you keep in the new nest that you have a chanse to win? Question nr. 2, How long you have been ant keeping, and what colonies do you have. Question nr. 3, What is your favorite ant species, and why?. Good Luck!
Q1 I will probably house my new pheidole sp colony in it Q2 I have been keeping ant colonies for about 2 years and I have messor barbarus, messor cf wasmanni ,camponotus barbaricus and pheidole sp Q3 my favourite ant species right now is pheidole sp because of their giant heads they are like little bobble head toys but in ant form 😂
1. Probably an Camponotus ligniperdus colony. Or my beautiful Messor colony. 2. I think 2,5 years now. Did not even realized it. Until you asked it. I have Messor colonies a 2 Lasius Niger and a Myrmica Rubra. Camponotus Ligniperdus and a Camponotus Cruentatus colony. 3. My favorites are Messor Barbarus and my Camponotus Ligniperdus. My question to you is this international? Because I am from the NetherlANTS and love your video's.
1) Formica Japonica or possibly Camponotus Japonica 2) just got back into it as an adult this summer, so just a few months 3) Weaver ants seem really cool.
1. probably some messor barbarus 2. for about 3 years and all colonies in chronologic order: Lasius Niger, Serviformica fusca, camponotus ligniperdus, tetramorium ceaspitum and alot of queens including messor barbarus who dont really count as a colony yet 3. leaf cutter ants for sure I really love them because they are so polymorphic and have so many different jobs you can watch
Q1)I will put lasius brevicornis in it,Q2) ive been keeping ants since June and i have colonies of Lasius Brevicornis, Formica Subsericea, and Tetramorium Immigrans i also have queens in the founding stage these queens are, Lasius Claviger, and Crematogaster.Q3) my favourite ant species i think is Aphaenogaster Picea. They are super cool ants i love the look of them and I would love to keep them in a natural dirt setup. I missed my chance to catch an Aphaenogaster Picea queen this nuptial season but theirs always next year!
1. I looked around for days trying to catch a queen ant with no luck, one day i stumbled upon a Solenopsis Invicta Queen in my own backyard. Shes been in a test tube set up for 14 days so a founding nest would be great. 2. If you count ant keeping as 1 queen, then 14 days :) 3. My dream ant colony is a colony of Pheidole, their big heads are so cute.
I want to keep the ants from the outside of my house. They are red ants Never kept any before until i win this givaaway Never kept ants n i would enjoy to keep a tiger ant in a type of small vivarium
My favorite aunt is a jack jumper ant and the anti beekeeping in it is a carpenter ant and I have been keeping ants for around 10 weeks and I really love!! your videos they taught me so much!!!!!!!
1: lasius niger🐜 2:I only have the one colony as I started a few days ago! 💯 3: my dream species to keep are bull ants or leaf cutter ants as they are both fascinating ❤️
1. Pheidole Pallidula 2. 7 months (still quite new!) 3. Honey Pot ants because they're so cool when they're full of honey especially when you dye the honey a cool colour!
I am still identifying the ant species I have currently (I have 2 queens of the same species). In the past I've kept a colony of Pharoah ants, as they are common from where i live. I am very new to the hobby, maybe 4-5 months? My favourite ant species has to be the honey ants, i mean their way of storing nutrients is just so fascinating!
Wish I was looking into this hobby a year ago... Would have loved a chance to with aus nest! My favorite Ant I'm thinking might be Honeypot :) I love how you can add food coloring to change their Metasoma sacks! I'm thinking though with my current living situation and being new I'll start with the care of Camponotus.
1. I will keep my Messor Wasmanni colony in the new nest 2. I have been only keeping for over a month now. Two of my colonies are still in tubes (Lasius Niger & Messor Wasmanni) and my Messor Spector colony has a colony of 60+ workers. 3. I would love to keep leaf cutter ants! I find them fascinating and amazing to watch! Your videos are awesome, it’s channels like this that inspired me to go into ant keeping.
Hello 1) The ants I will keep in the nest are Messor aciculatus. 2) I just started this summer. I keep solenopsis fugax 3) my dream species is atta cephalotes ( leaf cutter ants) . Thanks. I am answering for my son Nishant (12 years old) he watches your channel and is very enthusiastic about ant keeping. All the answers above are on his behalf.
My answers- 1. = Paratrechina longicornis. 2. = I have been ant keeping for about 4-5 months now and have 2x Solenopsis Germinata. 3. = It would have to be Myrmecia (Bull ants). This nest would be a big help to me because most of the ants in my area haven't had their nutial flights yet but I have seen some of the elates emerging from their nests to have a look around lately. So fingers crossed you pick me (:
1 Crematogaster Laeviuscula 2 I have been ant keeping for 2 years now and species I have kept are monomorium pharaonis, brachymyrmex patagonious, neoponera villosa, and camponotus texanus. 3 the species that I really want to keep would be atta texana because they look so cool and are also fungus keeping.
1: lasius niger (you’ll know why in a minute 2: This would be my first colony and I want to give them the best chance possible, but I’ve been interested for around 2 years now and been waiting for an opportunity like this for that time. 3:my dream colony has to be leaf cutters or perhaps “army ants” they are both such unique and special species don’t you think?
1. I will be keeping Solenopsis Geminata. 2. My brother introduced ant keeping to me 2 weeks ago. And i currently have 2 queens. 3. My favorite is black crazy ants, Because of their aggressive and energetic characteristics. Good luck to all of you guys!
1. Camponotus Irritans 2. I just started antkeeping and caught my first queen 2 weeks ago. So far Camponotus Irritans is the only species I keep. Queen's eggs recently hatched into larvae. 3. Even though they are not present where I live, my dream species to keep are bull ants as they are really big and easy to observe and their behavior is quite unique compared to other ants.
1. Tapinoma sessile 2. I have been reaserching about ants for three years but only keeping ants for a year. I am keeping Camponotus sansabeanus and pavment ants. 3. I would like to keep Solonopis molesta because they have a lot of information behind them and seem very interesting.
A. I'd probably keep starting BCA colony in this starter nest. B. I currently have Solenopsis Geminata on a test tube setup and a test tube with tub for my Odontomachus Infandus. My O. Infandus still hasn't layed eggs but After I fix their founding nest, probably they will give me some broods. I just started ant keeping a month ago or probably a month and a half. C. I would love to keep Polirachis SP. If given the chance coz their big and beautiful.
I got that red one a while ago, but didn't get the tweezers, connector and those 2 small tubes :( 1 - Camponotus 2 - I've been keeping ants for about a year. 3 - Cephalotes! They are such different ants!
1) I would like to keep pheidole sp. 2) Almost 1 year and now I'm keeping pheidole parva only... 3) My dream species is diacamma sp. and odontomachus sp. because they are fascinating and the way they hunt is cool!!!!!
I want to put trap jaw ants. I just got my first colony of black crazy ants yesterday. My favorite species is the odontomachus or the trap jaw ants because they are huge and they have very unique mandibles that can open 180 degree. Thanks for the new video BTW. I'm a huge fan
1.I will probably keep Diacamma rugosum in the nest 2.around 16 months 3.Camponotus siemsssni because they're very large and have huge majors and queens
1. I am planning on putting pheidole yeensis in the nest. 2. Started this year and now have Lasius Niger and Camponotus Nicobarensis altough I have loved ants my entire life:). 3. My dream species is definitely Oecophylla Smaragdina. They make their nest in trees and who doesn't want an ant nest with an entire tree in it!!
1. camponotus vicinus 2. i just got my colonies yesterday. so i have been ant keeping for one day now. they are all in test tube setups 3. i would like to try some pheidole species because the majors big heads look cool!
1-i just caught a bunch of Psudomyrmex and camponotus,so i am in desperate need of nests 2-I caught my first queen exactly 3:39 PM,April 4th,2016.She Was A Solonopsis Invicta queen. 3-Either Atta Texana Or Myrmecia Pilosula
1 : At first would just keep just some regular carpenter ants in the nest bc there native to my area 2 : I have never kept ants before but i have been wanting for a while and i think the starter kit would help me a lot 3 : My dream ants are vampire ants, there so cool and i think it would be really fun to have them :D
1. New to keeping so any colony would be nice. 2. 1 year serious but a lifetime of passion. I currently have a unidentified queen that is looking promising for a relocation. 3. Trapjaw. They are fascinating to watch and impossible to keep where I live so it’s the forbidden fruit of ants.
1. Green headed ants (because the formicarium is green). 2. Not long I just started and have a 5 green headed ants and 2 mystery ants. 3. I would love to keep the fabled golden spiny ant colony (because of the amazing look) or the infamous bull ant colony (because one bit my ass when I was a baby). Thank you for inspiring me through the few months. Miika 😁🐜 P.s. I am Swedish and so is my name.
Good day Sir, 1. I will be keeping fire ants. 2. I just got my first queen yesterday and is now living in a test tube set up. 3. I believe being a beginner, I have not seen many species of ants. However, I would love to have the yellow crazy ants in my future ant collections. :) Thank you and more power to your channel!
Firstly thank you very mych for the giveway ! ^^ Question nr 1 : I think i will keep my Tetramorium sp. in this nest, because, they start to get pretty populous (around 70) and after the winter, they will simply explode ! Question nr2 : I started 3 years ago, but then stop because i loose my colonie and restart in july of this year with my Tetramorium queen that i found. I have actually : -Tetramorium sp : around 70 workers and lots of brude -Lasius emarginatus : 3 fondations, 1 around 20, 1 around 16 and 1 that i found later with 4 workers -Lasius black : 10 workers and finally a Aphaenogaster sp. queen who's close to have his first worker ! Question nr 3: My favorite species is Crematogaster scutellaris, but if have to pick "my dream species" i will take Oecophylla smaragdina maybe or Messor Cephalote evn if i dont have what it take to keep them xD
I have been ant keeping for 5 months, but I keep pheidole, lepisiota capensis, argentine ants, white legged wood ants, cataulacus, polyrhachis gagates, and 5 species of camponotus, and dracula ants (note that I live in South Africa )
1. iridomyrmex bicknelli as i have caught one. 2. I am only new, I have just started about a month ago but have been interested for around a year now. 3. Rhytidoponera metallica (green-headed-ants) as the colour is amazing and are interesting ants.
Cool video, is a santa suprise in October jajaj and the questions: 1.- I will keep my unique colony of Camponotus Mina that is in a test tube ( The Black cat ) 2.-mmm I have only 6, the most important is a the Camponotus Mina ( Queens name is Black cat ), the second coul be a pheidole colony that have already starting to hibernate and a few pupas are near to be ants... and finally my two colonies of Camponotus Atriceps or Pundurosus ( Is difficult to identificate ). 3.- My dream keeping ant that I want is a strumigenys colony, for my is so facinating And finally I am from Mexico, good luck from my country
1. I have myrmica sp. Colony. 2. I have been in ant keeping for 2 months. I have myrmica sp. And polyrhachius sp. 3. I would love to keep asian marauder ants because they are highly polimorfic and i love the way that the small minors ride the huge super major.
1. i plan on keeping an lasius niger colony. 2. it's gonna be my first colony. 3. My dream species to keep of all time is probably a odontomachus sp because those are the most interesting ant atleast for me
Amazing review really saw everything about them, i might even buy the starter kit for myself since i just started ant-keeping. if i not win one of course;)
is a long answer "better" than a short one? i think my answer is the longest xD do you choose the winner on your own or do you let a software choose the winner?
I would keep lasis nijer. I have a tetremoream colony, camponotis queen, 2 laseis nijer queens and a mystery queen. I have been keeping ants for about 4 months
1. I have a Flavus colony still in testtube so Ill keep them in that nest if I win. 2. Started this summer. Only my flavus Queen made it though. 3. Fire ants. Cause of their behavior and fast growt.
i will keep my pavment ants in the nest and i have been ant keeping for about 6 months now and im in love with it and my dream colonie would be a coloine of honey pot ants
Q1 - I would keep a phidole ant nest Q2 - I been ant keeping for about 2 year or more Q3 - My favorite ant colony is Solenopsis because they are lit like our fam Ants Scandinavia
1 i will keep a camponotus cruentatus colony. 2 i've been keeping ants for 1 month and i have a messor barabarus colony.3 i would like to keep an atta colony because i think it looks awesome when they cut the leaf.
I would probably keep Camponotus ants in the best if I were to win. I've been keeping ants since I was a boy, but more recently in the last 2 years I have obtained a Camponotus and Argentine ant colony. I favorite ants are comon pavement ants as those were the first I learned to love as a child. They small enough to have a very large colony in a small space but aggressive enough to spend hours watching them eat.
1. Probaly messor barbarus. 2. I have never owned an ant species before but have whatched videos for over two years. 3. My dream ant colony is either Asian marauder or messor barbarus.
I'm quite intresting about ants ...... I caught 1 queen ants ant still learning how to grow ant colloni....., Ant Australia is really teach me the lesson to keep and grow my ant colloni....., I hope someday they can open the ant shop in my Country........ 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hejsan på dig, jag har en snabb fråga till dig. Nu är det ganska kallt här i sverige men finns det fortfarande myror som man skulle kuna fånga en drottning av? Hoppas du svarar Ps: jag bor i skåne så där är det lite varmare än i stockholm där du bor.
Ja, det finns det. Man kan alltid hitta drottningar under stenar året om, dock är det mer riskfullt att leta nu, då dem är i hibernation, men inga flyger nu och kryper runt :)
Okej tack så mycket, har dock en drottning nu med ca 14 arbetare som det går väldigt bra med så jag kanske inte behöver springa ut ock leta efter drottningar nu på hösten/vintern utan kan vänta lite med att skaffa fler drottningar. Tack
1.i will keep my competition ants 2.i am ant keeping since 2017 which almost 1 year or more 3.i favourite ant colonies are fire ants(selponosis germinata) and camponotus ants..... HOPE THAT I WIN...
If I got the kit I would keep my Pheidole pallidula in it.i have a lot of lasius Flavus,1Lasius emeragatus,1 Camponotus vagus,Camponotus Babaricus,Servi Formicia Fusca,Pheidole Palidula,3 Tetramourium caespitum,1 Myrmica rubra,Temnotorax sp. .I went to Spain and found a Messor.
1. I would love to keep a Pheidole sp. Their small and relatively easy to keep. 2. I've been ant keeping for 2 years. I have a Pheidole, Iridomyrmex, Nylandria etc. 3. My favourite is the weaver ants. I love how they are able to construct there best in the trees and it's so cool. Please it would mean so much to me if I win.
1. I will keep my lasius emarginatus colony on that nest. 2. I been keeping ants for 1year, and i have a lasius niger and a lasius emarginatus colony. 3. My favourite species is Camponotus vagus, because in my watch they are beautifull and special species, and i love the major workers. (Sorry if i made a grammatical mystake.)
1. Australian Meat Ants 2. I’ve been Ant Keeping 6 Months, I have a Queen Meat Ant and A Queen Camponotus Consobrinus ( Banded Sugar Ants). 3. My Favourite Species is Myrmecia Forticata or Australia Meat Ants, I like Australian Meat ants because of their fast growth rate and large colonies. I like Myrmecia Forticata because of their hunting strategy and because they need extra care because they are Semi-Claustral, I’ve been bitten by 2 species of Myrmecia in the wild and it’s not fun but I still want them. Who wouldn’t ?
1. I don’t know the namn on the sp of the ANTs but it is a Swedish sp 2. this is my first Colony 3 asians bullet ant becuse the mayer ar so big PS love your vids
Hi ants Scandinavia I will keep my adorable messor burborus in the setup which is my first colony I only have one colony as per mentioned and have been keeping ants for 1 year now and would love a new home for my ants my dream species is actually a phidole colony as they are soo cute and small
Im an outdated ant keeper because all my ants died from a serious outbreak of mold. The ant colony that is thriving in my ant collection is my camponutus Irritans seldom they don't have the great space because i don't have the tools for now... 1.My beloved Pheidoles 2.I've been keeping ants since i was 10 yrs old and my current thriving colony is my pheidoles 3.My dream species is the all mighty camponutus Gigas!
I keep camponotus and Messor sp . I have been antkeeping for 1 year and I would put one of the species I have in the kit . My dream species is Atta 🐜 😍
1. Stigmatomma bellii. 2. 3 years, am not keeping any at present, but i’ve kept Stigmatomma bellii, Camponotus compressus, Pheidole sp., Monomorium Pharaonis, etc 3. Mystrium oberthuri
If i was to win this Ant Aus starting kit i would love to put in a Phiedole colony in here as i have seen them do very well in these small formicariums. I have been ant keeping for 3 years and personally have 3 colonies. A large Camponotus Consibrinus colony of around 400 workers, a Rhytidopinera Metallica colony of 350 workers and finally a Iridomyrmex Purpureus colony of around 500. My dream species to keep would be either Marauder army ant due to their massive cast diversity or leaf cutter ants as i love their fungal gardens and polymorphism.
1. I have simple pavement ants 2. I started this summer with ant keeping and I have succesfully started my first ant colony! I've been watching as many videos on youtube about antkeeping and now I have my own antcolony. I really enjoy watching them even though they only have about 10-15 workers. My ants are in a plastic container I got from some chocolate so if you can guess it's really difficult to feed my ants without them escaping! So it would be really helpful if I could win the acrylic ant nest :) 3. My dream is to have army ants because they have different sizes of ants and I really love watching the way they behave and make their ant nests. The best thing that I want to happen to me is that I find a queen and raise a big and healthy army ant colony one day!
Pavement ants, I'm just getting into ant keeping so I have to find me a queen, my favorite is the jumping jacks I just think there are awesome an large ants
Nr 1. P. IMPARIS (winter ants) DO NOT HIBERNATE nr.2 ive been keeping for 2 yrs first queens passed and i have 2 lasius colony a campo queen and my p.imparis Nr. 3 leaf cutter ants ( they fascinate me and are the coolest ants!!) yo remember the question i asked a while back about the camera and my gecko babies i got the babies!!
It's winter here in West Virginia so all the ants I could get are sleeping till spring. I never kept ants before but have grown to love them all now because of the crazy things they are able to accomplish as a whole. I would love to have some kind of bullet ant that has a gamergate as a queen that way I wouldn't have to worry about just one Queen because they would just elect a new if she passed as long as I had a colony and a male too for the antlovin part i guess. but I watch here in UA-cam Mikey B. at #antscanada he has a few different types to watch and I'd say I'd like to have Weaver or Fire or even black/yellow crazy ants ...Id have a time just picking one lol
Nr.1 Tetramorium Caespitum Nr.2 About 2 and a half years, but i love ants my whole life Nr.3 Trapjaw Ants (Formicidae Ponerinae), i really love there jaws and that they keep springtails and feed them, only to eat them later
1. I would love to keep a Pheidole sp. Their small and relatively easy to keep. 2. I've been ant keeping for 2 years. I have a Pheidole, Iridomyrmex, Nylandria etc. 3. My favourite is the weaver ants. I love how they are able to construct there best in the trees and it's so cool.

3. Leaf cutter because they grow fungus to eat and collect leaf that is so cool
I love Ants Australia's gear, I have two of their out worlds and several nests including the Ytong starter.
1. I looked around for days trying to catch a queen ant with no luck, one day i stumbled upon a Solenopsis Invicta Queen in my own backyard. Shes been in a test tube set up for 14 days so a founding nest would be great.
2. If you count ant keeping as 1 queen, then 14 days :)
3. My dream ant colony is a colony of Pheidole, their big heads are so cute.
I want to keep the ants from the outside of my house. They are red ants

Never kept ants n i would enjoy to keep a tiger ant in a type of small vivarium

I think you should comment this directly in Ants Scandinavia's comment.
A. I'd probably keep starting BCA colony in this starter nest. B. I currently have Solenopsis Geminata on a test tube setup and a test tube with tub for my Odontomachus Infandus. My O. Infandus still hasn't layed eggs but After I fix their founding nest, probably they will give me some broods. I just started ant keeping a month ago or probably a month and a half. C. I would love to keep Polirachis SP. If given the chance coz their big and beautiful.
I got that red one a while ago, but didn't get the tweezers, connector and those 2 small tubes :(
1 - Camponotus
2 - I've been keeping ants for about a year.
3 - Cephalotes! They are such different ants!
So about your Camponotus... I'm assuming it's now going on 18 months+ by now? What size is the colony now???
1) I would like to keep pheidole sp.
2) Almost 1 year and now I'm keeping pheidole parva only...
3) My dream species is diacamma sp. and odontomachus sp. because they are fascinating and the way they hunt is cool!!!!!
I want to put trap jaw ants. I just got my first colony of black crazy ants yesterday. My favorite species is the odontomachus or the trap jaw ants because they are huge and they have very unique mandibles that can open 180 degree. Thanks for the new video BTW. I'm a huge fan
1.I will probably keep Diacamma rugosum in the nest 2.around 16 months 3.Camponotus siemsssni because they're very large and have huge majors and queens
1. I am planning on putting pheidole yeensis in the nest.
2. Started this year and now have Lasius Niger and Camponotus Nicobarensis altough I have loved ants my entire life:).
3. My dream species is definitely Oecophylla Smaragdina. They make their nest in trees and who doesn't want an ant nest with an entire tree in it!!
just suggestion but ants Canada has better test tubes ones that have things so they lay still not roll around ;)
Nr. 1. Odontumachus
Nr. 2. About 1 and a half years.
Nt. 3. Odontomachus cephalotes, they have unique behavior which is not in other types of ants.
1. camponotus vicinus
2. i just got my colonies yesterday. so i have been ant keeping for one day now. they are all in test tube setups
3. i would like to try some pheidole species because the majors big heads look cool!
Q1: Solenopsis Geminata
Q2: half a year. Phiedole
Q3:Bornean Queenless Ants (Diacema Rugosum)
1-i just caught a bunch of Psudomyrmex and camponotus,so i am in desperate need of nests
2-I caught my first queen exactly 3:39 PM,April 4th,2016.She Was A Solonopsis Invicta queen.
3-Either Atta Texana Or Myrmecia Pilosula
1 : At first would just keep just some regular carpenter ants in the nest bc there native to my area
2 : I have never kept ants before but i have been wanting for a while and i think the starter kit would help me a lot
3 : My dream ants are vampire ants, there so cool and i think it would be really fun to have them :D
1. Tetramorium immigrans
2. About 5 months
3. Formica Subsericea
1. New to keeping so any colony would be nice.
2. 1 year serious but a lifetime of passion. I currently have a unidentified queen that is looking promising for a relocation.
3. Trapjaw. They are fascinating to watch and impossible to keep where I live so it’s the forbidden fruit of ants.
1. Green headed ants (because the formicarium is green).
2. Not long I just started and have a 5 green headed ants and 2 mystery ants.
3. I would love to keep the fabled golden spiny ant colony (because of the amazing look) or the infamous bull ant colony (because one bit my ass when I was a baby). Thank you for inspiring me through the few months. Miika 😁🐜
P.s. I am Swedish and so is my name.
Good day Sir,
1. I will be keeping fire ants.
2. I just got my first queen yesterday and is now living in a test tube set up.
3. I believe being a beginner, I have not seen many species of ants. However, I would love to have the yellow crazy ants in my future ant collections. :)
Thank you and more power to your channel!
Firstly thank you very mych for the giveway ! ^^
Question nr 1 : I think i will keep my Tetramorium sp. in this nest, because, they start to get pretty populous (around 70) and after the winter, they will simply explode !
Question nr2 : I started 3 years ago, but then stop because i loose my colonie and restart in july of this year with my Tetramorium queen that i found. I have actually :
-Tetramorium sp : around 70 workers and lots of brude
-Lasius emarginatus : 3 fondations, 1 around 20, 1 around 16 and 1 that i found later with 4 workers
-Lasius black : 10 workers
and finally a Aphaenogaster sp. queen who's close to have his first worker !
Question nr 3: My favorite species is Crematogaster scutellaris, but if have to pick "my dream species" i will take Oecophylla smaragdina maybe or Messor Cephalote evn if i dont have what it take to keep them xD
You had to comment to the comment
@@danipulk i realize it later and copy past under his comment dont worry ^^
I have been ant keeping for 5 months, but I keep pheidole, lepisiota capensis, argentine ants, white legged wood ants, cataulacus, polyrhachis gagates, and 5 species of camponotus, and dracula ants (note that I live in South Africa )
sorry, i'm brazilian and i don't speak english! I would like to know if this inside the anthill is a sponge and what is it for? Thank you
1. iridomyrmex bicknelli as i have caught one. 2. I am only new, I have just started about a month ago but have been interested for around a year now. 3. Rhytidoponera metallica (green-headed-ants) as the colour is amazing and are interesting ants.
Cool video, is a santa suprise in October jajaj
and the questions:
1.- I will keep my unique colony of Camponotus Mina that is in a test tube ( The Black cat )
2.-mmm I have only 6, the most important is a the Camponotus Mina ( Queens name is Black cat ), the second coul be a pheidole colony that have already starting to hibernate and a few pupas are near to be ants... and finally my two colonies of Camponotus Atriceps or Pundurosus ( Is difficult to identificate ).
3.- My dream keeping ant that I want is a strumigenys colony, for my is so facinating
And finally I am from Mexico, good luck from my country
and I was antkeeping for a year, I forget that in the question number 2
1. I have myrmica sp. Colony.
2. I have been in ant keeping for 2 months. I have myrmica sp. And polyrhachius sp.
3. I would love to keep asian marauder ants because they are highly polimorfic and i love the way that the small minors ride the huge super major.
1. i plan on keeping an lasius niger colony.
2. it's gonna be my first colony.
3. My dream species to keep of all time is probably a odontomachus sp because those are the most interesting ant atleast for me
1 A solenposis invicta queen that i caught.2 a camponotus a black crazy ant colony.3 pheidole or crazy yellow ant
Pheidole cause the size difference is so big and yellow crazy cause of their color
Amazing review really saw everything about them, i might even buy the starter kit for myself since i just started ant-keeping.
if i not win one of course;)
1: I will probably keep ny SGeminata in that because Ive just started and its the only colony I have atm
2: 2 months or so
3: Dinomyrmex Gigas
is a long answer "better" than a short one?
i think my answer is the longest xD
do you choose the winner on your own or do you let a software choose the winner?
I choose it on my own ;) And i have red yours, and lets just say that I liked it, wink ;)
@@AntsScandinavia yeah, it was pretty much work ^^
good evening
I would keep lasis nijer. I have a tetremoream colony, camponotis queen, 2 laseis nijer queens and a mystery queen. I have been keeping ants for about 4 months
1. I have a Flavus colony still in testtube so Ill keep them in that nest if I win.
2. Started this summer. Only my flavus Queen made it though.
3. Fire ants. Cause of their behavior and fast growt.
I just got my first colony of messor barbarus. I really enjoy whatshing them
i will keep my pavment ants in the nest and i have been ant keeping for about 6 months now and im in love with it and my dream colonie would be a coloine of honey pot ants
Q1 - I would keep a phidole ant nest
Q2 - I been ant keeping for about 2 year or more
Q3 - My favorite ant colony is Solenopsis because they are lit like our fam Ants Scandinavia
1 i will keep a camponotus cruentatus colony. 2 i've been keeping ants for 1 month and i have a messor barabarus colony.3 i would like to keep an atta colony because i think it looks awesome when they cut the leaf.
1. Hopefully I will keep some Honeypot ants
2. I just started keeping ants about a month ago.
3. Polyrhachis Ammon
I would probably keep Camponotus ants in the best if I were to win. I've been keeping ants since I was a boy, but more recently in the last 2 years I have obtained a Camponotus and Argentine ant colony. I favorite ants are comon pavement ants as those were the first I learned to love as a child. They small enough to have a very large colony in a small space but aggressive enough to spend hours watching them eat.
I Like the starter kit
1.pheidole pallidula
2.4 months
3.atta sexdens
1. Probaly messor barbarus.
2. I have never owned an ant species before but have whatched videos for over two years.
3. My dream ant colony is either Asian marauder or messor barbarus.
I'm quite intresting about ants ...... I caught 1 queen ants ant still learning how to grow ant colloni....., Ant Australia is really teach me the lesson to keep and grow my ant colloni....., I hope someday they can open the ant shop in my Country........ 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love the old size 3 ytong nest I currently have my huberia striata colony in one
Hejsan på dig, jag har en snabb fråga till dig. Nu är det ganska kallt här i sverige men finns det fortfarande myror som man skulle kuna fånga en drottning av? Hoppas du svarar
Ps: jag bor i skåne så där är det lite varmare än i stockholm där du bor.
Ja, det finns det. Man kan alltid hitta drottningar under stenar året om, dock är det mer riskfullt att leta nu, då dem är i hibernation, men inga flyger nu och kryper runt :)
Okej tack så mycket, har dock en drottning nu med ca 14 arbetare som det går väldigt bra med så jag kanske inte behöver springa ut ock leta efter drottningar nu på hösten/vintern utan kan vänta lite med att skaffa fler drottningar. Tack
1.i will keep my competition ants
2.i am ant keeping since 2017 which almost 1 year or more
3.i favourite ant colonies are fire ants(selponosis germinata) and camponotus ants.....
HOPE THAT I WIN...

The nest will be the home of campanotis ants. A have been into ant keeping for year and a half.I woud like to keep messor barbarus sp.

2. I been keeping ants for 1year, and i have a lasius niger and a lasius emarginatus colony.
3. My favourite species is Camponotus vagus, because in my watch they are beautifull and special species, and i love the major workers.

Sámuel Jeney I have vagus they do not have Majors jet but they have 20-25 workers
@@helloitsme3144 if it's a vagus colony then it's perfect 😆
1. Australian Meat Ants
2. I’ve been Ant Keeping 6 Months, I have a Queen Meat Ant and A Queen Camponotus Consobrinus ( Banded Sugar Ants).
3. My Favourite Species is Myrmecia Forticata or Australia Meat Ants, I like Australian Meat ants because of their fast growth rate and large colonies. I like Myrmecia Forticata because of their hunting strategy and because they need extra care because they are Semi-Claustral, I’ve been bitten by 2 species of Myrmecia in the wild and it’s not fun but I still want them. Who wouldn’t ?
1. I don’t know the namn on the sp of the ANTs but it is a Swedish sp
2. this is my first Colony
3 asians bullet ant becuse the mayer ar so big
PS love your vids
Hi ants Scandinavia I will keep my adorable messor burborus in the setup which is my first colony I only have one colony as per mentioned and have been keeping ants for 1 year now and would love a new home for my ants my dream species is actually a phidole colony as they are soo cute and small
Im an outdated ant keeper because all my ants died from a serious outbreak of mold.
The ant colony that is thriving in my ant collection is my camponutus Irritans seldom they don't have the great space because i don't have the tools for now...
1.My beloved Pheidoles
2.I've been keeping ants since i was 10 yrs old and my current thriving colony is my pheidoles
3.My dream species is the all mighty camponutus Gigas!
I keep camponotus and Messor sp . I have been antkeeping for 1 year and I would put one of the species I have in the kit . My dream species is Atta 🐜 😍
1. Stigmatomma bellii.
2. 3 years, am not keeping any at present, but i’ve kept Stigmatomma bellii, Camponotus compressus, Pheidole sp., Monomorium Pharaonis, etc
3. Mystrium oberthuri
If i was to win this Ant Aus starting kit i would love to put in a Phiedole colony in here as i have seen them do very well in these small formicariums.
I have been ant keeping for 3 years and personally have 3 colonies. A large Camponotus Consibrinus colony of around 400 workers, a Rhytidopinera Metallica colony of 350 workers and finally a Iridomyrmex Purpureus colony of around 500.
My dream species to keep would be either Marauder army ant due to their massive cast diversity or leaf cutter ants as i love their fungal gardens and polymorphism.
I will keep messor ants . I have a few colony . I like messor ants and I am speaking from Bangladesh
Ant Australia you are the best!!!!!!
1. I have simple pavement ants
2. I started this summer with ant keeping and I have succesfully started my first ant colony! I've been watching as many videos on youtube about antkeeping and now I have my own antcolony. I really enjoy watching them even though they only have about 10-15 workers. My ants are in a plastic container I got from some chocolate so if you can guess it's really difficult to feed my ants without them escaping! So it would be really helpful if I could win the acrylic ant nest :)
3. My dream is to have army ants because they have different sizes of ants and I really love watching the way they behave and make their ant nests. The best thing that I want to happen to me is that I find a queen and raise a big and healthy army ant colony one day!
Pavement ants, I'm just getting into ant keeping so I have to find me a queen, my favorite is the jumping jacks I just think there are awesome an large ants
Nr 1. P. IMPARIS (winter ants) DO NOT HIBERNATE
nr.2 ive been keeping for 2 yrs first queens passed and i have 2 lasius colony a campo queen and my p.imparis
Nr. 3 leaf cutter ants ( they fascinate me and are the coolest ants!!)
yo remember the question i asked a while back about the camera and my gecko babies i got the babies!!
It's winter here in West Virginia so all the ants I could get are sleeping till spring. I never kept ants before but have grown to love them all now because of the crazy things they are able to accomplish as a whole. I would love to have some kind of bullet ant that has a gamergate as a queen that way I wouldn't have to worry about just one Queen because they would just elect a new if she passed as long as I had a colony and a male too for the antlovin part i guess. but I watch here in UA-cam Mikey B. at #antscanada he has a few different types to watch and I'd say I'd like to have Weaver or Fire or even black/yellow crazy ants ...Id have a time just picking one lol
NICE LOVE THE NESTS!
I do too
I know I will not win anything but I’m bored so yeah .the first queen I got .
a few weeks
Bullet ants
Nr.1 Tetramorium Caespitum
Nr.2 About 2 and a half years, but i love ants my whole life
Nr.3 Trapjaw Ants (Formicidae Ponerinae), i really love there jaws and that they keep springtails and feed them, only to eat them later
I definitely prefer antaustralia over antscanada.
1. I would love to keep a Pheidole sp. Their small and relatively easy to keep.
2. I've been ant keeping for 2 years. I have a Pheidole, Iridomyrmex, Nylandria etc.
3. My favourite is the weaver ants. I love how they are able to construct there best in the trees and it's so cool.
Good video👍
