A CASTLE Full of ANTS SWALLOWS a MEALWORM Whole
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2023
- My new dream colony of Marauder Ants (Carebara diversa) has secretly been working on increasing their worker population within their nest, deep within their castle. With a booming colony, and their Queen, named the Titanic Empress, constantly laying eggs, I felt the ants were finally ready to receive their food placed at a far location within their terrarium. I hoped to watch the colony swarm and form their iconic trails to and from the mealworm I wanted to feed them. What ended up happening was truly a sight to behold! Hope you enjoy this week's ant video! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Ohhhhh yeah my daughter has been watching your videos for about four years now and is absolutely in love with ants because of you. My brothers and I got into Antz about seven years ago and I’ve been watching your videos. Keep it up brother to do amazing work, and I pray that only good things happen to you.
Thank you! How awesome! Hugs to you both! Ant love forever!
My son learn English watching your videos. He waits with me each week. Thank you!
@@AntsCanadayou got me into ants too and I will always love you for that
i wat hed this guy for years too hes awesome
@@AntsCanada I have suggestion but take it with a grain of salt since I don't actually own ants perhaps start your own mealworm Farm it's actually not that hard I had one a while ago to feed my lizard
I really do love ants for their ability to work and do things together despite not having the highest intelligence or strength. I find them incredible.
I just love it on how a pupue is just sitting on the queen
me too
Who knew watching ants could be so much fun. Your love and excitment for ants is infectious. Keep up the good work!
I know like bees and ants in rl r so boring but then bees and ants online is so interesting
The ants on top just standing there are looking out for everyone! 😂 that major at the entrance of the nest was so strong. She picked up the heavy end of the worm and took it straight in
Crazy right?! Ant love forever!
@@AntsCanada yes
Can you show the timestamp for that please ? It's okaye if it's too much of a hassle
@@josephseymour5386 14:23 You can see the major at work 😊
@@josephseymour5386 14:20
Your story telling is amazing and I enjoy watching and listening to your stories about ants. In fact, it’s very informative and relaxing to digest knowledge from your videos! I guess ‘The Swarm’ would be my input for the name for this ant colony since swarm was mentioned many times 😂.
Thank you so much! Ant love forever!
I can’t wait till they get super majors, so excited to see this colony grow !
And universal drones
@@CPTSmiler you played a bit too much antelligence on roblox my guy

In the 4th grade we had to do a report/presentation about an animal, any animal we wanted. I chose ants for some reason, maybe because the game SimAnt was the new hot title. But what I learned gave me an appreciation and fascination with the field of myrmecology and I have enjoyed the AC family for several years now. Thanks for these videos!
Love this game
I liked the use of the text overlays over just music with the ants for that particular part of the episode - kind of a throwback to the hidden videos where you just showed footage.
Bow.
Nice, senator
Imagine being jealous of Ants because they work better together than humans
The amount of effort you put into filming these super up-close shots for us is amazing. Thank you for another great video ☺
I remember watching this when I was younger and to come back for nostalgia reasons it’s amazing
Yet again another exciting video by Antscanada
I love how the queen was like OMG ARE WE LIVE ON UA-cam at 1:47 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 She hates the limelight, literally!
I love this channel. So fascinating and mesmerizing.
What the heck
I always thought the ants riding on top of their prizes were lazy or confused, but from this video I see that when they come to overhanging obstacles these ants help to facilitate the passage of their burden!
Makes me wonder if the ones that ride the super majors might have more purpose than energy conservation. 🤔
I think you should really push to get those amazing blue ants we seen some time ago....they were stunning and unique!!!
I'm so glad you're still making videos man! I used to watch your videos like 5 to 6 years ago but i stopped watching more and more and i started losing interest, i honestly loved your vids back then i still do❤️
You have a lot of awesome vids to catch up on omg! 🎉
Gonna be blazing a trail with that new Fire Ant Colony! Can't wait to see what kinds of trouble they get into! :D
14:25 😀 A major came out to help pull it in once the others had brought the meal worm close enough to the nest! 😍
After about 5 years of watching you i still click on every video as fast as i can
he really misses the pheonix empire calling the queen ember empress 8:34
I find it really satisfying when ants swarm other bugs and insects and drag it back into the heart of the colony
Hey! Been watching your stuff for a few years now, I remember stumbling upon your cockroach giving birth video from years ago, because of you I got to try out caring for ants (altho my mom got me a vertical sand one and I wasn't home enough (divorced parents) to take care of them, plus I was like 12-13 so that was a bad idea. But you do a great job of giving me that feeling even when I am unable to take care of them myself, I can watch you work you magic with the AC/fam, keep up the great work! ☺️
Does anybody else feel like a newbie at ants when they’ve been watching this channel for years?
It’s amazing how big the queen is and the soldier willing to protect the queen is amazing
Good thing YOU are KIND✔👍👏👏😊
@@Yummyty2896 yes.
Man you're a whole blessing. I am currently working on finalizing a very chimeric fantasy race that is specifically well-known for extreme reproductive proclivities, called the Tyraks. They were heavily inspired ants and locust. Many of your videos have provided such amazing content to watch and excellent inspiration! Absolutely fantastic work dude, loved how Queen literally wore her babies xD
Awe-inspiring, in just a couple weeks, the colony got so much larger!
Oh yeah
His colony are so good he went 1 colony to an universe of colony we love how you make us see how ant are special insects
The name of your Queen ant is Queen Lily
cant wait to see more from this colony!! so fascinating!
I love this channel I've been watching it since 2018 it has taught me so much about ants and I will try to catch an ant queen to start a colony
Thanks so much! Ant love forever!
Same
:)
Such a beautiful ant colony. I've been watching your channel since the pheonix empire and I've been addicted since.
Awesome! Thank you for watching! Ant love forever! ❤️🐜
same, the pheonix empire brought a lot of viewers ig
Same
At 10:57: ant in the upper right is directing traffic! "Easy does it ladies! There's no rush!"
That major lifting the whole mealworm into the castle was the best
Really cool video, what a step up from the last size we saw them. Poor mealworm😅
The ants hitching a ride on top to protect their meal reminds me of all the people on the Indian subcontinent and in Indonesia who climb on top of trains because of how overcrowded they are! The queen wearing her babies as a dress is the equivalent of when zookeepers hold giant snakes around their necks! 😂 Yes, these ants are smart cookies! Remember like you said, SCALE! To us, carrying a mealworm is nothing but to them, it's everything and they're all in this together! So adding that extra weight of debris WAY before they got to the nest would've made it more challenging. And Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker Suite playing as they carry it back to their next is chef's kiss. Tchaikovsky's touch on music is one of a kind. THIS is the power of music! Music tells a story. And in this case, beautiful classical music helps drive the story of your channel!
Thank you for watching and happy you enjoyed the episode! Ant love forever! ❤️🐜
Levthians
Lol
@@AntsCanada i know a game that you might like its called empires of the undergrowth
@@jench4ever Yea i play that game and its called empires of the undergrowth which its really fun! And you can even choose your own colony.
When I visit my grandparents the first thing I do is look for any colonys and look at the for the whole day and never get bored 😅
This is really awesome....I loved this colony❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love seeing some of the worker ants just riding on top while the rest work on bringing it home
amazing video. Ants canada is the most popular ant keeper, also amazing closing statement too I knew that empress was going to lay eggs because if the queen lays eggs and become larvae, those are the nanitics. Also have a good day!
Others might be skittish when they see ants, but a powerhouse queen along with a swarm working together like this one is the sign of a healthy and thriving colony. To others, pests. To us, beauty. Life, no matter the creature, is beautiful. Because life is a GIFT! Them piling on the grains on the mealworm is the equivalent of humans when it comes to freshly poured cement on an urban sidewalk or quicksand in adventure movies. Would you walk right through it and get stuck, or would you try to avoid it? For the ants, the solution is covering it all up.
I totally concur, Mr. President!
U acc kim Jon un
Doesn't Kim Jong un support killing everything,literally opposite of what you said,(plz don't bomb me)
YO KIM
Sounds like communism to me!
I just got here to the community but I’m HIGHLY invested in the weaver ant colony and I wanted to know what happened to the colony you found in the tree (the most recent).
Me too I also want to know what happened
I love waking up to watch my favorite channels.
I've been raising C. diversa too! Incredible species, man.
That was amazing! Wowzer 😀 This channel is so much more then you'd think. Thanks for another fascinating video 👍🏼

Nah bro😅😅😅
Chicken nugggggggggggggggget
This is abusive to my axolotl nugget
ah yes the moment that you gave us the information that the fire ant queen was fertilized and had pupae, one singular thing went through my head and out my mouth "Finally, two worthy Opponents!"
So now the question is: Are you Team Marauder or Team Fire?!
Team fire ants. even though I live in the Utah USA and closest thing to fire ant are harvester ants
@@AntsCanada hrmm... honestly i might be a little biased cuz i've been playing an Ant RTS game and my favorite colony type is fire ant
I really want to see you fabricate a Mount Olympus for some Camponotus Herculeanus, and make its outworld with a mini Greek Coliseum for their feeding area.
Call it. The Brave army.
2:44 "Please spared me" ahh drag💀
Love Your Videos! I’ve watch every Saturday for 1 year.
Omg u liked the comment!
i love those ants im really exited to see the major and super major to join the swarm on the hunt if only there were more big ant
Wow they are soo awesome! I hope you upload more videos of these ants. Cause they are my dream colony too.
More to come! Stay tuned! Ant love forever!
My dream too
That was so amazing to watch, like a TV documentary clip
Can't wait to see the new fire ant army grow
Finally a new update of my favorite ant colony
So happy we have these ants back on the channel!
that was amazing how they worked all together for that mealworm im sure the queen would love sutch a catch great work ants go for your goal :D
hello mikey could you make a series of an ant colony using only tubes from anthills and outworlds from your store without terrariums and aquariums it can be any genus solenopsis camponotus etc (sorry for my english i'm brazilian) #antloveforever
Ok, will do! I did this for a black crazy ant colony once!
Did you know ants can use tools
@@osmosisjones4912 yeah I live in Australia and the ants stole my tool bag and built them selves a house but anything is possible in Australia
@@liamowen297 bruh
@@dr-em yeah I now charge them rent as they live in back garden and they always pay on time
Yo thats seriously awesome n badass..i had never knew about the rocks being placed over exposed guts of there meals..ik about how insects "blood" i have mantises n jumpers but i feel ants aren't really my type of "hobby"..but luv watchin you n others but how interesting ants are!! I feel there too much work n im too lazy lol
Bro those ants are flippin hilarious!!idk if its my smoked head or what lol but it reminded me of canoe polo..you got the bosses on top of meal worm like "push, pull,ect" n they were just so serious!lol great video!!🤦♀️🤣🐜
This was the last video I watch before I went to bed now I'm dreaming about ants in fancy clothing dancing on a mealworm while listening to classical music.
I’ve always loved ants and you sparked my love for them again:)
Poor mealworm. The ants had a real feast!!!
I definitely voted! This colony is amazing! It was fun seeing the ants bring back the mealworm, I hope they enjoyed it. It will be exciting to see the colony grow.
Loved your commentary in this video IDK why but I really enjoyed the description of the ant wearing pupa like a fancy dress :)
It’s been four years since these videos I’m glad to be back on the vids
Man, Im impressed that nature could impress me like this
You can almost hear the ants shouting as they come out of the feeding spot " guys hurry! Look at the size of THIS!"
This will feed our entire nation and have many more later.”
I love the ant feeding vids. Although my favorite is still the live feeding. 😅
This is The most well made Documentary/Story telling I've seen in 5 years, Good job! Looking forward to binging your videos!
Hey man! I love this species and im pretty jealous you have so many neat ones in the Philippines. I caught a Myrmica rubra Queen last fall and she has 7 workers atm, made me think of yours when you were in Canada. Cheers! CanadianAnt.
Awesome!!! How are you? Been so long! Hey, Myrmica is a sick genus, too!
@@AntsCanada I have been great! I love the new build man, beautiful Property(saw the tour with Exotic). I'm just continuing my Beekeeping Journey with 21 beehives doing great heading into spring! finally lol. I am glad you are doing so well man! It's been a long time since the Ant forum haha.
I'm so happy for you 🤗🤗. And since you started you never gave up! Such a big Inspiration!
Best vid ever love how they dragged it into the castle for the others! So nice🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜go ants!!!
Im tearing up rn the nostalgia of the cells to singularity music is so amazing in a way ;)
The ant colony is so cool! I have been watching your videos for a while now, they are all amazing!
Glad you like them! Ant love forever! ❤️🐜
"Heave! Heave! Heave- Come on, the queen is waiting!!"
I haven't seen so many eggs and larvae and pupae in one place before. Good job!
Cant wait for more updates on this colony!
More update on trap jaws ants please! I’m gonna buy my own trap jaw ants next week just waiting for my formicarium
This never makes me bored
Man I been watching for 5 years and I enjoy your content keep up the good work
You should get a super sensitive microphone so you can HEAR the ants communicating during times like these! (Stridulation, chewing, walking etc.)
Great idea!
Thank you! I’m so glad you read my comment, and I would love to see this happen! I’ve been watching your videos for years and never thought about suggesting this.
Ants mainly communicate using pheromones, though.
@@marie-pieredwards5421 Mainly, yes, but not entirely. They do what's called stridulation, which is rubbing certain plates together to make a noise, and they use several noises to convey different ideas (food, intruders, stuck under dirt, warning, etc.).
Plus, they have different levels of excitement, such as discovering high quality foot etc. - I think it would give us more of a sense of what ants or other insects are hearing on an auditory level (although I doubt we perceive sound in the same way, like how snakes detect vibrations, but they don't actually HEAR sounds - they're deaf).
With an ultra sensitive mic, you could pick up their mood and energy level better, plus hear all the sounds they do make (intentionally and unintentionally), even though you are correct, they mostly communicate through pheromones.
It would just be interesting, since AntsCanada is pretty much the GOAT of ant documentation, this would give his channel another element of ant life that we don't see or hear from anyone else, other than a few short clips. I think it would be fascinating.
Sorry for the book I just wrote you lol, I really hope I taught you something and I really, REALLY hope AC gets an ultra-sensitive mic, since it would add a whole other level to his channel.
@@rubix1694 ok
Another great video ants Canada 🇨🇦 🍁… all my love from South Wales 🏴 uk . So sad to hear the news on brain barczyk 😢 breaks my heart . Stay strong brain if anyone can do it you can speedy recovery. Love to all your family and freinds 💋
Hey bro! Just wanted to say I’ve been watching you for a while now, over 5 years! And your videos gave me a certain love for ants. Sometimes during lunch break at work, I would see ants, and I would give them pieces of my food, watching how determined they were to get their food home was inspiring, and sometimes I’d pick them up with their food, and give them a helicopter ride to their home XD
I used to watch this like 2 years ago and i lost the channel and now I find it again
Wow their colony is getting big!
U were so inspiring to me years ago I watched your channel and it so so interesting learning about these creatures
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching! Ant love forever!
:) ant love forever
11:46 why is that one ant on that rock near that horn twerking?💀😭
Haha! It's releasing pheromones and creating vibrations (aka stridulation) to sound the alarm! Ant love forever!
Watching so many ants accidentally get in the way while trying to help 🤭
A new name should be: Titanic Army
Yeah
I can’t wait until you grow another fire ant colony!
I love how at 8:35 he called the Titanic Empress the Ember Empress 😂
That thing was big! I didn't know how big the major ant egg is!!!
Can you please do an update on the termites? I've been dying for an update on them
same!
Not me
I am so excited for when my colony gets this big. Amazing video was awesome to watch them swarm!
Keep it up AC I love yours vids i learn interesting facts about ants now You Always make me happy
Hmm think a bigger place might be something for the near future
Definitely!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Bow.
Very educational when it comes to biology, keep it up!
