- This video is a time lapse video of two dozen ants building a nest in an Ant Farm. Most of the construction was completed in the first 20 hours.
It was produced to supplement a class project at The University of Colorado Applied Mathematics department.
Filmed and edited by Andrew Erickson, Fall 2010
lol thats how aliens observe us. Record us for a thousand years.. then watch it over in 10 minutes.
Not real
@@8842jay yes else they woulda nuked us already

Its amazing how the dirt doesn't collapse and kill most of them
Super Toaster They have had millions of years of evolution to figure out how to make tunnels that don't collapse :-P
The dirt is moist so the dirt will not collapse
***** Not in the wild.
the ants would push the dirt in the walling of the tunnels to make them safe
Ants will not build tunnels if the area is bright. Professionals use pre-made nests with plaster or pumice already in the shape of a nest. They do make this material you can tape to the front to make it darker if you still must see them dig.
I made it myself. About 4ft of wood cut into 4 pieces, 2 pieces of clear plexi-glass, hinge, weather stripping (to seal around the top), and glue. I had the glue and weather striping already, so the other material only cost about $15.
I just put a small piece of bread with a dab of maple syrup on it in there. They seemed to like that.
If you make it thin enough they will build next to the glass. The first few days they built all the tunnels out but then started to paste dirt on the glass to block the light. You could still see in but it was a little obscured.
Do it! It was really fun and I learned a lot. My total build time was about an hour and the cost was about $15-$20. Well worth it.
Break the glass and the ants come out
This was extremely interesting.
It must suck when they finally realise the biggest chamber they can build is only an inch wide.
I feel claustrophobic just thinking about it
It's bizarre how they don't seem to sleep or lull, is there no down time for them?
I put food in there and they seemed to eat it.
Hi im very interested in building one of these T.T couple questions.
Did you manage to find an ant queen ?
If no, how long did these ants sustain inside ?
Did you add more ants inside ?
What happens after this.
If you make it thin enough they will build next to the glass.
Did the ants die
ants eventually died even with food and water, as per the video and the pattern the ants build, there is a queen, otherwise the just made tunnels like tree branches, they don't have a certain purpose, there is no queen to keep alive
Did the ants dir
@TheGrandthefter I think its pretty safe to say that he made it
When I get bored with my Ant Farm or when it reaches to a point where I become worried about it's size, I pour bleach into their holes :D and my new experiment is to get two different type of Ants to grow to a big nest size then bridge their tanks together and watch them fight to the death lol
what the fuck
Get argentine ants, they'll just group up and eat the inside of your face :P
Are you a sociopath, because those are the signs of the beginning of a sociopath.
That is rly sad plz don't do that!!
how many ants were in there?
ants only need to sleep for about 2 minutes a day, i do believe.
cooper45300 i know this is very late but thats bs ants have little naps of a minute or maybe 2 but they nap like 100 times
That's how the flash come
Okey Andrew Erickson ~
This Totally Freaks Me Out At The Ending Part ! ! !
I See No Ants Movement ! ! !
What did you use for food?
Ant's what?
What kind of soil is that just normal and do fire ants dig to Ik this is a stupid question
cook soil if you get a new colony but if you take them from the wild it should be fine. Cooked soil prevents from viruses that kill the colony and every ant digs pretty much except some which build tree nests out of leafs.
Is there a queen in there?
+Mlg Doge No queen. Unfortunately, it is illegal to sell queens in the US. These are all worker ants.
+Andrew Erickson cant you catch one in a test tube when the new queens are released? How I got my 3 current queens.
No :-(
Something to do with contaminating a certain area with an ants species thats not native, your not allowed to move ant species across any boarders in the world.
Yes, you're right. You can't move queens much further than a few hundred miles. It makes ecommerce really hard.
actually I have an ant farm they love to rest, as they are a huge count of members they just need 20 minutes for working , easy live actually,
how did you get the ant to grt in there.. and is there any queen ? i really want to do it for my science day but i dunno how.
*ant
+Mell magisa I bought these from a website called ants alive .com. There is no queen though. Unfortunately, it is illegal to sell queens in the US. These are all worker ants. You should do the ant farm and let me know how it goes!
They don't.
is there a Queen ?
nice man
how did you get them to dig on the side with light the side you can see
jimi Mardlin It was a pretty narrow so they didn't have much choice. After a few days they started sealing the glass so it was way much harder to see them.
@daedude ai sorry naman sir. i didn't read the description. i was focused on the video.
I want an antfarm now😮
Please be careful when purchasing or chasing queens, there are millions of queens, Ok, but I dont see millions of nests, so there are really short posibilities for ants to build a new one, take in count that fire ants are driving other ants into extintion, buy them only if you make sure you purchase the grown in captivity as any other pet should
nice
Haha, they didn't seem to care too much.
Kinda looks like they just did.
Only my ants that have succes build without i can see them!?
WOW
I hope the queen was very sexy, because I was a lot of hard work for all those ants!!!
i hope the was a queen
LOL
Get a better camera
Go watch another vid then
Chris Gals There aren't any...
Clorox Bleach Be grateful
gay
OMG I WANNA FLOOD IT SOO BAD
And see what they do
+guardian angle ant bully
+guardian angle LOL..., isn't your user name spelt wrong? Presumably you meant to call yourself 'guardian angel' not angle as in 'right angle'.
If you make it thin enough they will build next to the glass. The first few days they built all the tunnels out but then started to paste dirt on the glass to block the light. You could still see in but it was a little obscured.
