To be honest. The word choice and the pronunciation in the manuscript is pretty cringe to me. No offense! I know it's an annoying habit to get annoyed by such petty things. But the videos are so damn interesting I just can't stay away
they weren't eating one another, they were drinking blood from the larvae and the pupae, but without killing them, imagine if we could drink blood from other humans, it WOULD be super cool
@@MaridoDoFelps shush. It would be frickin gory in my opinion😤. I understand what you said tho, I just exaggerated it as a joke to say that he finds every considerably gory detail of their habits to be quite remarkable.
I love how AC tells us that we all discovered it, giving us some credit even though he was the one doing all the work and discovering. Thank you AntsCanada/Mikey!
I think he says this because if we didnt watch his vids, he probably would never be found and given the chance to keep these fancy ants. Also, mermacologists would have a hard time finding his vids, if he even still uploaded without his huge sub and veiw numbers
If this colony ever grows up to the point that they need a lot more space, which they most likely will since they're in your care, you should have four of the towers around a larger, square enclosure to act as a castle (it can be called the blood castle). The castle could be connected to a larger/smaller enclosure which can be called the Blood Courtyard. The castle would also be connected to a large enclosure, that has water- the Blood Moat. After this, if additional space is needed, more towers can be added that connect to the Blood Moat, they would form the Blood Village. And maybe other things such as a blood forest could be created. I cant wait until next week to see your colonies and the next time we see these amazing, new ants. Edit: I forgot to say that these names are just placeholders for whatever better names. Theres too much blood in it, lol. Also shout out to ammy thesta, the name Blood Moon Kingdom is amazing! That would be such a cool name! *if you, ants canada, read this comment, please, please read the comments. They have amazing ideas!*
I discovered this channel 3 days ago. I have now spent the past 20 hours watching stuff on ants. Where has my life gone. This is so wrong to watch for hours... yet so.... right?
Lmao.. because it's true! 😐 Earth is just an aquarium, our solar system a bedroom & our galaxy a house for super aliens we know as the ancient gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Thor, etc). But wait, there's more.. our known universe is just a bigger aquarium on the interdimensional/multiverse scale. But wait.. 🤯 Haven't found their YT channel yet, but still hopeful🤞
@@RandyGBH Just finished my god level chores so back in my human avatar.. anyway, saw your reply so I checked it out & oddly enough it looks like an aquarium 😉🤫
The “Chupacabras” seem like a really fitting name to these beautiful girls! Chupacabras are mythed to be blood-suckers, and because they aren’t real, people don’t know much about them. like how we will keep learning things about these Dracula Ants.
It’s really interesting how this ants aren’t capable of trophallaxis, yet vampire bats share food constantly through regurgitation of blood to one another. Different behaviors in different vampires. Great video.
Ants. As incredible as they are you just don't hear a lot about them. You think. "Ants? Boring." But you....You do such an amazing job showing us and explaining to us how truly awesome these little creatures are. You make this so interesting. And its not just the ants. You, yourself, are a delight to listen to. You really do care about these ants, and how much you love them; that's what makes this channel.
Name them Clan Nosferatu ! If you get more you can name the other colonies after various vampire clans! Or maybe just The Nosferatu! I love these ants sooooo much! AHHHH! I really hope this gets picked ! I think it’s so fitting !
I'm going to call it, the Coven. Vampire covens being the traditional name for a group, but like a Coven of misunderstood witches, they are not beastly ants.
Despite these ants having, what we would call, dark and morbid practices, its a very logical and smart way to survive. These ants have something other more typical ants don't, a buffer against starvation or scarcity of solid food. If a typical colony of ants runs out of food and can't find more in the time it takes the queen to starve to death, the colony fails and dies. But these ants get a little more time to look for food thanks to their larvae. Yes, the larvae will starve, or get consumed, eventually and the adults soon after, but during that time the adults can search for food and be at full strength. Once food is found they can start replenishing the nest with larvae. So the colony may get smaller and many will die, but the colony as a whole is less likely to fail and die off completely, continuing the species. This all hinges on how long a typical one of these ants can survive on a single meal though. If they have a faster metabolism than solid feeding ants they will just starve and die around the same amount of time a typical ant colony would without food. I am rather awe struck, and utterly fascinated, by this. These ants remind me more of some sort of automated machine than a life-form, I find that to be kinda cool, and scary at the same time.
GiantSavage117, don't listen to the kids saying "nerd alert" or "too long". I totally agree with you and your explanation of how these "Draculants" are more likely to survive during rough times, and how they are certainly not typical ants.

Thanks! I appreciate feedback and kind words! From one nature lover to the next: Ant love forever! I am nowhere close to legend Sir David Attenborough!
As much as I wish that I did, I wasn't the smart guy that thought of these names. I just read through the comments and this is what I thought would be most fitting :)
It happens instantly.... you click on a weird looking video about ants and WAM! you get extremely addicted and intrigued by something random..... Welcome the club!
Imagine this: you're a child sleeping peacefully in your room. Your parents walk into the room, holding knives. They each cut a small wound in your skin, and begin licking up the blood that slowly seeps out. That's what these larvae are going through...ew Also when the ants drag the pupae/larvae (I'm not sure which they were) off of the super worm and roach, out felt like a horror movie
@@MaceWindu267 him reporting it to the internet alone is enough because of how big his channel is. His channel is known for making new scientific discoveries so he did show scientists this.
Name it Antsylavania so that the ants could live up the name because they suck blood from other insects. P.S. I'm Fillipino and I live in the Phillipines, I love your vids and I'm subbed for 2 years now.😀😀😁😁😁 Dracula ants (Stigmatomma sp.) have gamergates which Black Panther ants (sorry I forgot the species of the ants :( ) and they produce eggs like queen ants.:)
From what I saw, the adult ants were _not_ feeding on the solid parts of the egg yolk. Instead, they were simply absorbing the liquid parts of the egg yolk with their lapping mouth parts. It may be the case that the adults feed not just on hemolymph but on _any_ nutritious liquids--hemolymph just happens to be nutritious and is more readily available in the wild. If the adults sense a liquid and taste nutrition, they will absorb said liquid regardless of whether it comes from their own larvae, pupae, subdued prey, or egg yolk.
You are more than likely right, considering nothing was quite torn up on any of the ants' prey or possible food. If AC sees this, he will probably test it, so uh. Let's try and get this up there so we don't get any misinformation.
Laughing Emoji, each species has evolved different nutritional requirements as well as different means of acquiring those nutrients. Think about how some animals are herbivores, some carnivores, some omnivores, some detrivores, some coprophages, some hematophages, and so on. Even among herbivores, some have adapted to only eat eucalyptus leaves, e.g. koalas, while others have adapted to eat primarily a broad variety of fruits, e.g. toucans.
Someone in my group theorized the Dracula Ant pupae and larva produce and store extra blood in the outside layer of their skin to feed from to keep themselves from being essentially 'dried out'.
Name: The Transylvaniants Because they are called Dracula ants and the book that introduces the folktale of Dracula to the the western world is set in Transylvania. And it is a fun word play :)
That's the exact drinking game I was playing too. But I spiced it up a bit and did a shot plus a hit from a bong and some laughing gas each time.... it did the trick
I suggest the name the draculant empire Yes it is a pun but I find it to be a good name, also if you don’t like that version of the name here’s some over versions Draculant empire death ants empire haunted empire undead empire That’s all the names that I think are good now here’s the names for the colony GraveAnts That’s all I got, hope you like these names
The Children of Blood Because as children they feed the adults with their blood and grow up to, later drink blood themselves and therefore they are born from the blood ergo, making them children of blood
@@Juniperist no not really... Warlock. A warlock is a male practitioner of evil magic (distinguished from a wizard or sorcerer, whose magic may be benign). Not in one case would a male be called a witch.
The internet is a strange place. Started with sims 4 videos, then a video of a guy attaching stuff to a fly to see if it could lift it, and now I’m making another stop...here😂
NaKai Jelani welcome back to the bowels of UA-cam. Today you will be looking at Dracula ants. Tomorrow it might be how to make rope by hand, or someone making dragons in Skyrim look like Thomas the Train.
They don't actually kill the larvae and pupae when drawing blood from them. The wounds actually heal and they eventually go on to develop into adult Dracula ants that feed on the next generation of larvae/pupae. Crazy stuff right?
AntsCanada that’s the best example of how nature evolve to 1. Still feed the population and 2. Continue growing in population (without disruption). They always find a way

It may be the case that the adults feed not just on hemolymph but on _any_ nutritious liquids--hemolymph just happens to be nutritious and is more readily available in the wild. If the adults sense a liquid and taste nutrition, they will absorb said liquid regardless of whether it comes from their own larvae, pupae, subdued prey, or egg yolk.
I do not understand a word
Tim Jung That makes sense
You are more than likely right, considering nothing was quite torn up on any of the ants' prey or possible food. If AC sees this, he will probably test it, so uh. Let's try and get this up there so we don't get any misinformation.
How do they stay alive is my question if It gets its blood taking
Laughing Emoji, each species has evolved different nutritional requirements as well as different means of acquiring those nutrients. Think about how some animals are herbivores, some carnivores, some omnivores, some detrivores, some coprophages, some hematophages, and so on. Even among herbivores, some have adapted to only eat eucalyptus leaves, e.g. koalas, while others have adapted to eat primarily a broad variety of fruits, e.g. toucans.
"Beast beyond our wildest dream"
Me: *imagines a dog that poops gold*
Your comment made me think of Roger the Alien from "American Dad" on the episode where he popped gold 😂
I think the perfect name would be the Addams family
Gggrrrreeeeaaaatttttt
Yes, please! *bong* “You rang.”
You are a genius
Yyyyeeeeesssssss!!! That is super smart
We've found the winner 😂😂😂😂😂
I suggest name them "the crimson empire" 🍷🏰🦇
Fiatzaza TH awesome name
Great name dude

This is the best name
We don’t need a over empire
Me : looks gross and scary
Me : *clicks*
Me xD
Lol me too
Same! but now I think the ants are kind of cute XD
Me three xd
jay Pazare don’t click because it is gross and scary
I don't know, I don't love these ants but I want to see some more ants raised from 1 queen to colony
I'd personally name them "The Immortals" so that they live up to the kin of their blood sucking nature
Felt great when he said ...we saw it first.
Also me:
Even did a" high five" with a high jump.
Someone in my group theorized the Dracula Ant pupae and larva produce and store extra blood in the outside layer of their skin to feed from to keep themselves from being essentially 'dried out'.
I'll see if I can quote you on that. Keep up the good work!
L
proposed, not theorized.
This is really interesting and it makes sense
Actually since youre being a smartass it would be hypothesize
You make me want to raise ants every one of your videos, it's crazy
Dracula ants: "We do not say 'bleh, bleh, bleh!'"
😂😂😂 yeah
😂
WE MUST CALL THEIR ENCLOSURE HOTEL TRANSELVANIA!!
@@frostytheiceberg1127 Antsavania
Tee hee hee, Love it. :-D
Name: The Transylvaniants
Because they are called Dracula ants and the book that introduces the folktale of Dracula to the the western world is set in Transylvania. And it is a fun word play :)
Thats a cool name!
Relly
That’s a great name! Clever too.
I live in Africa and they are a lot of rham
And ritn now I'm in almo tx and there are a thosend
take a shot for everytime he says "ac family"
Fr so annoying
I'm pretty sure you'd be drunk off your ass by the end.
Breaking news: millions dead after playing a drinking game
Taksh a shot yoush shaay? I did its... And im grape! Uh, grat! I meansh... *collapses on floor*
That's the exact drinking game I was playing too. But I spiced it up a bit and did a shot plus a hit from a bong and some laughing gas each time.... it did the trick
Dracula Ants Are so cool-
I would have called them “The Ruby Empire”
Call them the blood knights as they live in the blood castle
Aseyah Chaudry I think that's a great name.
well doesnt dracula live in a castle too
Blood Knights sounds cool, plus it sounds noble
hello
I think it sounds too noble and proper... They should have a name that makes them seem more vicious and monster like
I suggest the name the draculant empire
Yes it is a pun but I find it to be a good name,
also if you don’t like that version of the name here’s some over versions
Draculant empire
death ants empire
haunted empire
undead empire
That’s all the names that I think are good now here’s the names for the colony
GraveAnts
That’s all I got, hope you like these names
Godzilla Channel a very good name!
Leave long comment pauses in 2016
Me too lol
Good
IMO, that is a boring name, considering that the colony species of ants has the same name.
I would not be suprised if you had werewolf ants
I wouldn't be surprised if he had god ants.
Well, he did have a bunch of pharaoh ants invade one of his habitats once....
Well we did have gods
@@rofisbacc2004 .....like ants?
Haha look at my werewolf ants!! ua-cam.com/video/Aa9uGBU6zZU/v-deo.html
Dracula ants : *Drinking their youngs*
The other ant kingdoms next to them : WHAT THE-
The Children of Blood
Because as children they feed the adults with their blood and grow up to, later drink blood themselves and therefore they are born from the blood ergo, making them children of blood
The prince of blood 😅
Blood sisters maybe
the children of blood is super clever
i think you may need some spring tails in there.
What about the Transilvanians?
Or the Red Fangs?
Sarcastix FoxDragon i have an idea what about sons of dragons because dracula was called son of the dragon
@@xstnc5378 OH MY GOSH YES.
THATS PERFECT.
Call the cage “The Coffin”
Call the ants “The Killers”
The coffin
The coffin killers
The Coven!
Covens are used for witches, but the term can also apply to vampires. And the allusion to witches enforces the idea of sisterhood. ^_^
Yesssdss
Yet again witches can also be male....
CrazedsHideout ANTSYLVANIA! Also, witches can be dudes, they’re known as warlocks tho
@@Juniperist no not really...
Warlock. A warlock is a male practitioner of evil magic (distinguished from a wizard or sorcerer, whose magic may be benign). Not in one case would a male be called a witch.
@@user-sl4xy2hf5s what do you call gay warlock?
I wanna get bit.
I wonder if I would become an ant or a vampire
A antpire??
You will be hurt
a vampire that eat insects ;P
or an insect that eat vampire
why not bouth?
how the hell did i end up here
Ellabellanoche ikr? I was watching asmr cooking videos just a min ago

Shhhh.... Just let it happen.
I should be studying for a test right now...but this is so much more Interesting 😎

Narrator: Mark the date We saw it first

The internet is a strange place. Started with sims 4 videos, then a video of a guy attaching stuff to a fly to see if it could lift it, and now I’m making another stop...here😂
NaKai Jelani welcome back to the bowels of UA-cam. Today you will be looking at Dracula ants. Tomorrow it might be how to make rope by hand, or someone making dragons in Skyrim look like Thomas the Train.
NaKai Jelani OMG OMG OMG SAMEEEE

How do they reproduce if they keep eating the larva?
They don't actually kill the larvae and pupae when drawing blood from them. The wounds actually heal and they eventually go on to develop into adult Dracula ants that feed on the next generation of larvae/pupae. Crazy stuff right?
AntsCanada oh disgusting but cool berry self sustaining😃
AntsCanada that’s the best example of how nature evolve to 1. Still feed the population and 2. Continue growing in population (without disruption). They always find a way
It’s non lethal
StoneOfMoon life... uh... finds a way
