Alright guys. I think it's finally happened. AC has gone off the deep end and started having two way conversations with his ants, the ants have taken control of him. He's no longer an entomologist...he's an antomologist.
He's gone too far now, he's one of them now.
Yea he should stop breeding fire ants
hes either going to turn into an ant OR he'll teach them how to become MUCH bigger so they can control the whole world ;)
@@adamnesscz4675 nah just build new terrarium
He’s calling himself the CREATOR of worlds now 😂😂😂
Oh man, this is a trip. The original "My fire ants are planning an escape" video is how I found this channel years ago. Now it looks like one managed to get away.
That was how I found this channel too! It’s the remake where they add personality to the villain (fire ants) haha
Same lol
@@scyobiempire4450fire ants aren't villians
@@endersand5211they are in certain situations
As someone who raised the fire nation and the phoenix empire you really should have seen this coming.
I remember how you struggled to catch the Phoenix Empire queen laying an egg. But you caught the Crimson Queen doing it so easily here.
I remembered the same scene 😅 now it just casually happens 🤷🏼♂️😂
Speaking of the ants being smarter than we think, biologists recently found that honeybees may be able to dream, have short and long term memory, and the capacity to learn.
That bees can learn and have long and short term memory has been well known for a while. That's why they hover over flowers and stare at them. They are memorizing the appearance and location of that flower so they can find it again later. The dreaming thing is super interesting though. I hadn't heard anything about that. I wonder how you'd even assess dreaming in an insect. I can't imagine they engage in REM and their brain is so different from ours that I'm not sure you could take for granted that activity during sleep is dreaming. I feel like I'm about to fall down a google rabbit hole...
They've also been observed to play with objects for no apparent reason other than to have fun
I mean Asian Giant Hornets and bumble bees have photographic memory, so id not be surprised if others have that as well. Honey bees do remember, since they need to be able to communicate directions to the rest of the colony, as to how much i dont know, but i know its directions and distances at least, probably landmarks as well. Bumble bees will remember key location as they travel, which is why you see them return to some land mark, circle it for a few seconds and then keep going again, in both directions.
@@wolfymcwolfywolfwolf661 exactly what I was gonna say!
To be fair, google also has the capacity to learn. It's not that impressive.
I've been subscribed to this channel for almost a decade now and it ceases to amaze me, haha. I've lost interest in Hollywood level shows faster than a channel about different ant colonies 😂🍿
Never ceases to amaze you*

@@justinbarabas8943 I wanted to change it, but he had already put the heart on my comment, haha
Same been here longer than most my relationships
@Tatsusama ahh I see haha no worries I usually hate when people do corrections like that but this one made it sound like you didn't like the videos lol
Dinodork here, the skull you've got there for them isn't a raptor's skull- I'm fairly certain that one would have belonged to Abelisaurus. I think that's actually very suiting for them though, as Abelisaurus roamed the late Cretaceous in what is now South America- which is where the fire ants originally came from! :) Ant and Dino love, for everyone!
Lmao. Nerds rule the world, tho, so you have fun with your dinos!
To me, it looked like some sort of metriacanthosaur/allosaurus
Cringe
@@negritotenfold Good for you to be so self aware :D
Smirtzz i like it. Good smart
I was laughing so hard when Mikey was doing the voice over for the queen ant " release me to antopoia " hahah. Great episode! The new dragon set up is so nice!
Who needs video games when you can just watch ants.
Yeah ofc
Buy ants for yourself
Agreed
@@PoffHistory I have 😂😂
Underrated comment
Can we get an update on the termites? I want an update about them and what they are doing now.
How about the camponotus ants ones, It's been long time.
And phoenix empire
yes please
@@brentoyisaac2538 didn't the Phoenix empire die out? Or am I thinking about The Fire Nation again lol-
@@Savasaurus42 Phoenix and another (can't remember which) were given to someone else because he couldn't transport the tanks to the new house...
You should use fire alley as every starting nest for any new species of ants and then just change the name and the thing above it to fit more with the species of ants I think that would be cool❤
yeah good idea
THATS CALLED um I forgot…
As cool of an idea as this is not EVERY ant species would probably be well suited enough for a setup such as that. Different species have different requirements.
The Crimson Queen gaining a sort of heel status is pretty cool
7:47, you can see the Queen lay an egg, the stinger shifts a bit like when you first caught it happening with the old colony queen, and then out popped the egg.
Sharp eyes, nice!
I would never have seen that without you. Thanks!
Thx
And because of this the waffle house will gift you a free waffle 🧇🧇🧇🧇
If you put the timestamp back a second, you can see the entire laying process with that one egg. I saw it myself when she started twitching like she were trying to push something out.
Please make another Paludarium with water creature, they are so interesting and are perfect for Fire ants
Yeah it would be awesome and hope he makes it big and spectacular
Yeah, those are likely a pain to take care of but they're really impressive to look at. Those were always some of my favorites
It would be cool to have an aquarium section with native Amazon fish to help with population control and clean up.
I think a neon tetra ecosystem below the fire ants would look beautiful
@@wheezer9110 Or a multi chambered water feature with beta fish in each chamber... Tasty fire ants when they error... or if the beta jumps out??? tasty beta fish
This was an intense episode... Oh no, did they escape? Hope they don't attack our other boloved colonies... Can't wait to see what happens next... Take care and be safe, always ❤️
Since the Queens dialogue was that she wanted to move out to the Antiverse I think it might be possible that they escaped the terrarium and actually disappeared. Seeing how easily they moved all the brewd and the queen as soon as the opportunity came it would be possible.
@@sleepymonsteraddict true, but i don;t think they would attack other colonies, due to them being just simply to small.
@@angelalaw9105 Yeah, for now. Fire ants grow pretty fast, though, and it won't be long before they take over the backyard. :/
Gonna be honest, not every video needs a cliffhanger
Yeah, we are loyal viewers
We’ll come back for the ants
Just caught my first Iridomyrmex queen a few days ago and she just laid eggs! Im just so thankful for you antscanada to help me love ants and learn so much about them, Ant love forever! 🐜 ❤️
Nice! Congrats
❤❤❤ enjoy!!!
Good job ❤
me and my dad almost caught a queen ant but he accidentally smushed it with a stick now its dead..
Caught my first carpenter!!! She came into MY BEDROOM!! Seen her and was so excited
4:49 you know its deadly serious when Crimson Knights actually speak their mind in our heads, their power grows stronger each day
ive seen you before
I’ve seen you before too.
Yup
I don’t know if anyone else noticed but an egg was also layed here with out being noticed 7:45 egg is secretly layed 😂nice video as always #antscanada
Crazy!!! Totally missed that! The Crimson Queen is truly on a mission to populate!
Ye I almost missed it too well now we know how secret she was
So I'm wondering if you just forgot to make the top fire ant proof ( iirc they're a lot harder to keep from climbing out than pretty much any other ant you have ) or if they were able to get out from under the lip of the test tube ( some grains of dirt or whatnot keeping it from sitting completely flush with the terrarium )
Yeah I was wondering both of these things throughout the video too
I was saying the same thing! "You didn't put talcum around the top of the tank! They're gonna get out!"
It can’t be that simple. He’s kept loads of fire ant colonies, so surely he put all the same measures of protection in place. I think they managed to use some of the taller props to get onto the ceiling and exit that way.
He made them escape on purpose just for content
@@tlgx884 He's been fighting fire ant colonies in his local area so much. Why would he turn one loose inside his home???
The Crimson Queen being a murdering psychopath is the plot this channel needed.
Ye
We need cameras that are small enough to put on ants when possible in the future
AntCam 4K
@@dukeofthedance8062 wait its real cool
Then how you can hold it without falling or how to not lose them
you would need a camera basically the size of a mite & how would you power said camera?
@@savagefoxdesigns6692 idk some dude smart enough might figure it out that aint me for sure
Mikey , you've always said fire ants are escape artists! Love the extra drama you're putting into the videos. Great job!
two cliffhangers in one video? Man that's savage.
Dang it!
Such a freaking a cliff hanger I'm madder than a hungry fire ant!
Well, time to dig a hole for the week to brood in until next Saturday...
same
The fire ants are probably my favourite, so it's very nice you're returning to them
I mean...they gone, lol
@@H2DK why, its giving me fallen phoenix empire
@@brentoyisaac2538 Speaking Of Which What Did Happen To The Phoenix Empire Since The Transfer Of Ownership Of The Colony
After an 8mo break from the channel, I'm so grateful that i can binge such drama. I never thought i would be so taken with ants❤
Yeah I’m not really crazy about the voiceover acting stuff making the ants sound evil or anything. I like the old storytelling way.
This 3rd Generation is the most chaotic and troublesome of all
They managed to trick you and escape Fire Alley
The Leviathan's dragon house is pretty impressive!
Ye
I would like to point out I'm currently watching a video from a video from a guy who has dozens of ant colonies, and the ad UA-cam runs on it us for pesticides. Sweet irony
The ants have a strong grasp on AC's mind. He's talking their language.
I’m coming to watch you again before I was one of your biggest fans and your content has grown so far so keep up your good work and good job and bless anyone who read and love this if you read this bless you and your family
My name is Bautakum
Ok😕
@@Dabigdddd like why we need to know 😂😂😂
That's so sweet!! Bless you and your family too!!
@@Mxttymxtt bc, my name is bautakum
I wonder how long this rivalry will last for, cant wait to see more!
Sorry for the late comment. But when the fire ants get a massive set up I would love for it to be Volcano themed! Like with a massive Volcano in the center of the terrarium and a possible name for it could be “The Den of Ashes” but that’s just a suggestion I’m open to people coming up with better names in the comments. Love your content AC and your dedication!
The heck, your story line is giving me goosebumps especially on the last part. Now i can't wait for the next episode!
Right! Like, it's not just ants!
-There is good, quality informatiin for ppl into soil health.
-there is entertaining story lines.
-there are absolute works of art within the ant homes
-the shots, and editing are all on point.
.
This channel is the whole package.
Heck. This guy could make a whole other channel just on designing and building the ant homes!
It's kind of like he is gonna intentionally start a ant war against two colonies and blame it on a voice in his head
@@caiden-_- 😭
@@caiden-_- He has officially gone insane
That moment when i saw the ENTIRE colony was gone i knew we messed up BAD atleast i think so.
You mean he did.
@@Kim-if2rxeah but i just want to say "we messed up" just for fun
So wish you would upload atleast twice a week. Hard to wait 7 days between uploads. Great Job. 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
bro's making a whole movie, now you've got me interested in it.
The way you add your own narrative story line is on of the best aspects of this Chanel
Was definitely not expecting a sudden switch over to the fire ants and the crimson queen
It is one of the things that makes me excited for every episode because it could be things that are unexpected
i was because the marauder ants got a whole new terairium
I can’t believe it!!! This has me on the edge just waiting for what’s next! I love how you develop the story as well… SO EXCITING!!!
I just unwintered my now 2 year old black carpenter ant colony and moved them into a forest-floor themed terrarium, it was a very easy move as most of the colony was and still is hiding within the large piece of driftwood that they've been nesting in ever since moving out of their founding test tube. I am happy to report that my beautiful girls are are super happy with their new lands. They are healthy and energetic and I've even seen their first Super Major! Thankyou for the Ant Love that you've spread to my home, I never would have gotten into raising an ant colony without you're videos.
2 episodes in and he has sucessfully clickbaited us and not removed the side piece of the marauder ant's home.
Mate, I haven't missed a video in 5 years. Keep up the great work. Much love from Australia!
The plot thickens and it's only becoming more exciting
As soon as moving the fire ants into the now empty tank was mentioned, I thought: "You forgot to apply the talcum powder barriers, didn't you?"
That roach looked like he had been on a bender for days...
The ending though, I'm waiting for the next video DESPERATELY
I love the way you narrate the videos, you're a gifted storyteller! Thanks for bringing us along on your ant adventures.
This reminds me how the my fire ants are trying to escape video did not have the colony escaping, but this time, they did.
Never mind, they were still in.
I was actually disappointed I didn't get to see the tunnels on the covered side of the glass
me too
I have two fledgling colonies right now: a New York carpenter ant (Camponotus novaeboracensis) colony with a queen I caught last year, and an Eastern Black carpenter ant (C. pennsylvanicus) queen I caught just a few days ago! Really cool to see the differences between the two species; the New York carpenter ants with their distinctive red mesosomas, and the Eastern Black carpenter ants with their larger size and golden hairs on their gasters. It's also been amazing to see the NY ant workers spray formic acid on the arthropod prey I give them; I didn't know this species would do that, but it's been exciting to watch!
OMG. !!! 😮. Mikey!!! Please don’t make us wait a whole week!!! I can’t! I’ll have nightmares! You and Everyone in your home suffering a mass attack from that devious Queen! Oh my, gosh, this is terrible! How will you ever find her! Ant Love Forever! ❤ 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Fran
1:23 AC's voice acting 💀 he should do that MUCH more often
The first video I watched of Ants Canada was "Oh no my fire ants are trying to escape"... and now they have.
Hey ant Canada I’m loving your videos and it brings back memories from when I used to watch them a couple years back and I’m still looking forward to when you get leaf cutters😁
leaf cutter dont live in the philippines, so therefore he cant catch a lca queen
@@randomrobloxvideos3449 yeah although he might be able to get them shipped but I’m not and expert🤷♂️
I love leaf cutter ants
They are cool
@@flynnmcnamara362 o and also its illegal to ship ants or they will become fire ants 2.0
I definatly think AC has lost it since he's talking to the ants and the ants are responding
Also may I suggest getting voice actors for your queen's ? Make each queen unique with a fan being able to voice the queen
This is genius level content. I don’t care about ants. At all. But I started watching the last video just cause the setup looked cool. Now I’m invested in 2 different colonies 😂 excellent storytelling
You and me both...I don't even remember how I found this channel...but now I'm so invested...
Keep watching and I'm sure you'll grow to care for all ants.
I used to not be that interested, then I fell in love with AC's ants, then I considered having ants, now I'm fascinated whenever I see a ant trail or a nest area in the wild and now have a queen and am attempting to raise up a colony.
I going to be real for a second. I think I dislike the ant personification.
I’m assuming the ant you had to throw back in let off alarm pharamon that’s why you seen the butt in the air behavior
I am loving this ant voice-over. Hopefully you can catch the colony before they vanish into the wild, that would be really bad
Imagine if AC made a d&d campaign of ants, and other insect-folk.
Leaving aside that AC is having full blown conversations with his ants, can we appreciate the fact that bro just got tricked by an ant?
we all love watching ants dont we
Ye
This guy loves ants so much that he can speak ant
Man is making the ACU and I’m here for it
Can you please give an update on the termites, I don't care if it's in a non termite related video, I just want at least a little update on them
Remember when he spent an entire episode trying to see the queen ant lay an egg and in this episode she casually lays egg
My guess is they use the taller props to climb onto the lamp, and made their escape that way.
Imagine if the fire ants moved into a terrarium that was decorated like a volcano... Fire ants spewing out like lava 🌋
Dude, I don't know how you can make something so mundane as keeping an ant colony into one of the most interesting topics imaginable. You always have me hooked on your videos. It's been a while since I've visited your channel, but now you've got me waiting on the next episode like it's freakin star wars or something. Well done sir. I'm gonna try and visit more often. Your channel is way too good.
I love the story telling aspect it's so cool. And the environments you create are fantastic.
You're killing me with these cliffhangers! Lol
I love this channel, I've learned so much about ants. Currently some carpenter ants are having their nuptial flight, there's a whole bunch of queens and males in my greenhouse
I rediscover this channel every six months or so, and it never ceases to amaze me. The storytelling the lighting the music all of it is so good. I go on an AC binge every time.😂😁 Keep up the great work, I hope you have as much fun making these videos as they are to watch. ❤
AC is producing pheromones to talk to the crimson queen, he’s gone insane 😨
Im pretty sure you ants went into defensive mode when you picked up that straggler off of the dead roach if you watch the footage. when you dropped it back in it raised up its abdomen and ran to into the main chamber
Gotto love when our favourite ant keeper from canada does voice overs for the ants especiely the queen
Amazing content! I love the fire ants and am really looking forward to the next video to see what has happened to them
The queen laid two eggs in this video!!😂 I laughed when you did the acting of the fire ant queen.👸
I wonder what the Crimson Queen would think when she sees this video? "Is that what my voice sounds like in Humanese? (lol)"
I just LOVE you story telling, Mikey!! I have been watching you for so many years now. ❤(on all your channels) Your filming and editing is amazing.
When fire ants get big enough you need to give them a fire dragon terrarium so the rivalry between the sea dragon kingdom and the fire dragon kingdom can live on as angry neighbors lol
"I fear you may have underestimated the sneakiness sir"
maybe a good idee for the next set-up. a lushes home with floods every so often, to not only make the fire ants feel at home, but also to make sure that the colony doesn't get to large like the earlier ones. and we it could be that we get to see one of the most amezing things wild fire ants do, make a big raft of themself to save the colony in an flood
I hate to admit this but I've gotten really behind on the daily vlog channel, but Holy cow your yard looks amazing!!!
OMG I can't wait a whole week to find out what happened!!! I'm a tarantula keeper and my only knowledge of ants comes from this channel. So I have no idea where the Crimson colony went!!! This is gonna stress me out all week lmao!
Yeah Luckily you won’t have to wait too long
This video made him look insane like he’s going mad
Bro laughed so hard she pooped an egg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am loving the leviathan’s colony so far
My Ant God the Leviathan set up looks absolutely AMAZING! Super creative, and crazy cool outcome! I hope you are doing alright and staying safe King, and I can not wait to see what you bless our eyes and ears with next! 👑🙏🏽🌹👑🙌🏼🔥😈
Man this is like a movie, I will watch the whole series
7:46 EGG LAID! EGG LAID ON CAMERA!
This Is Becoming Very Interesting And Conflict!
15:35 What......
the name of there home should be crimson alley
As an old AC fan I never thought that he would be voicing the ants
I love how the queen sounds like a evil grandma 7:50😂
since 2-3 years ago when i started watching you, ive always wanted to start a farm ants yet i still dont know how
et what a cliffhanger to leave us on. wow
I know and I thought that the last cliffhanger was bad.
