Could not agree more with this comment. Please please please, MORE MORE MORE. More environments and animals and builds of different kinds of places. Like desert!
I'm team ladybugs and as an aphid hater, this video brought me joy, please feel free to do more aphid experiments (preferably with chances of things going horribly wrong for the aphids). I grow plants in pots on balcony, so it's not a big garden and I always get those pests infecting my plants, they quickly increase their number and that's when the ants come in and harvest them (if no mistake, I also had green aphid the ants were milking and not eating). Problem is the ants protect the aphid against the ladybugs so I end up having to fight ants with other means and bring in a ladybug larvae or two for them to eat the aphid (as the adult ladybugs will just fly away and the larvae couldn't).
I recommend keeping big headed ants(genus pheidole generally) because they are very active, grow fast, have majors, and can swarm things or carpenter ants (genus camponotus) because they are big and easy to watch, but their colonies grow slow. Both are really fun to keep in my opinion though
It's nice to see a video series about something like this where it's also a learning experience for the content creator. It makes for a far more entertaining time
Myrmecophilous aphids are usually dark, the ones you caught are green and not related to ants lol. Try to find some dark aphids around a colony of lasius niger to make sure they are compatible. good video, I like your humor haha. please keep documenting your colony of this ant farm :D
This is the best channel I've had in my recommendations for a long time. These videos of your ant colony and wildly enticing and your humour is spot on. More please :)
Fun fact: Aphids produce clones of themselves. Also I want to know what is in between the ants milking the aphids and a meteor hitting and killing us all. LOL! You’re so funny!
Your comedic delivery is timed perfectly with your editing. I don't know how I got here but I'm subscribing because you're fun. Thank you for making my day better!
This is one the best "most random ever" videos i've watched on youtube Yet somehow also the most satisfying. Saw part one , and was like NEED MORE hahah Keep it up! Lovely setup and the humor ... so nice and well rounded , love it!
I once witnessed a battle between ants and termites. It was epic! I was mesmorized. Even though this battle occured 20 years algo in my parents bathroom, I still remember it as if it was yesterday.
This clip came up in suggestions... great humor and commenting like "how do i know she's still pissed" 😂😂😂 you're super funny 😂😂😂 you made me binge all your video's now. Can't wait for the story to continue
I dont know how much you checked the fly but flies can catch lots of diseases and things and they can carry some insecticidal things so I hope its doesnt cause anything bad
I check them pretty good! There are a lot of black garden ant colonies in my garden that eat flies naturaly. Als I only take flies that have a natural flight pattern. Flies that have come in contact with insecticides fly weird. I also already had some feeder insects that carried parasites so I don't trust those completely either. So the ants should be fine 😁
I gotta say I was expectinv to be this interested when I saw this video on my recommended videos randomly; I don't even look at insect stuff normally. But how you filmed this and your commentary made me watch the whole video and I await how the ant farm grows!
2:28 THIS ! if I hadn't already subscribed, That woulda sealed it! Your fucking humor is but fucking hysterical! The deadpan delivery, Choice! I am so glad I stumbled across your channel, praise be to the algorithm gods Edit I don't think I'll ever get tired of his that's what she said jokes either 😂
Maybe because it’s a young colony and doesn’t have a lot of meat to eat they turned to eating the aphids, try give them a lot of meat like different insects the reintroduce the aphids later on
You should buy a 3d printer and download or design and - print some custom stands for jars - print small houses - you can also print custom wall designs to make sick vertical terrariums that wont fall off.( - print a fake bonsai tree so it does not die - idk print a terrarium?
I love your channel bc i love this experiments with ants lol. I know im 10 months late but if your reading this, you should make more ant stuff please!
@@HomemadeEcosystems I was born in Verviers Belgium in '85. Moved to the usa in 1990. Your accent and humor remind me of my uncles when I was young. Much love.
You made a subscriber out of me. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Plus your other videos look interesting, like the terrariums in a jar channels I watch.
The colony probably needs more proteins than sugars right now - they have larvae to feed and plenty of sugar water for themselves. Give the colony more meat - insects, yolk of hard-boiled egg and even small pieces of raw meat.
Im happy to see part 2 and the ants still thriving. Good job for taking care of them well man :) Maybe they are not drinking the honey dew from the aphids cuase they already have sugar in front of their colony i dont know just a theory.
How many times did I say 'aphids' in this video?
Yes.
Put a chocolate in there someday 😂😂😂

too expensive lol, garden ants and pavement ants are good for beginners

True! they have to produce males to not make clones . The ants killing all the aphids is somewhere in between 😂
@@HomemadeEcosystems I believe Aphids are some of the fewest species of animals that can reproduce asexually AND sexually.
@@FriendlyKatworms can
Fucked up fact: aphids are born pregnant! Because of the cloning thing. They are basically built to multiply really, really fast.
Yeah! #214 like!
Maybe the ants needed protein instead of carbs to build muscles so they can drag the queen around.
Yeah they probably indeed need proteins to feed the larvae 😅
I never thought watching a video about an ant colony could be this hilarious. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks ! I will try !
I can't believe you have made me watch part 1 and 2. And can't believe you have interested me into getting my own terrarium with ants.
Good job man!
Do not getting terrarium for ants believe me
Didn't expect the jokes and then didn't want them to stop😂😂😂 great video!

Don't apologise for the humour lol, most underrated UA-cam channel
Thank you!!
As a UA-cam viewer, I can tell you, this channel is great.

“The ants milk this butt juice”
Your videos are extremely fascinating! Thank you so much!
This is my new favorite channel. More uploads please. The humor is fantastic.
I'm editing a video right now!

love the videos i want to have my own ant farm one day like this is cool to see and love the jokes have me rollin on some
Looks like a very healthy colony
It's like if Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite was into bugs and plants and was telling you about dirt in jars. I totally dig this channel. Vote for Pedro
Lol, I get that a lot!!
I hope they are violently dragging the aphids into there nest to take care of them 😂
This guy deserves more subscribers ❤
I'm not a fan of ants, nor terrariums. But dang man your dry humor makes it enjoyable, keep it man.
Glad you like it!
"Screw you guys I'm going home" -Cartman the ant queen.. lol
Next part now!
The humor is vary rare on UA-cam and its great
That’s so cool how we can see viewers too
this is the second video of you i ever watched and you made me laught in both of them
Glad you like them!
Ah yes those 11pm videos on a Sunday just hit different lmao, managed to watch part 1 and 2 😂 definitely waitin for part 3 now hahaha
Maybe because it’s a young colony and doesn’t have a lot of meat to eat they turned to eating the aphids, try give them a lot of meat like different insects the reintroduce the aphids later on
Yes I will try that!
i came for the pun, i stay for the ants, never stop doing videos like this, this is a nice format and no oe does it on YT.

- print some custom stands for jars
- print small houses
- you can also print custom wall designs to make sick vertical terrariums that wont fall off.(

Yea this is great, waiting for the next part!

I would like to do a setup like this, do the burrows in sand stay on their own or do you have to keep the sand wet enough for them to stay?
I add water to the sand in the back wall about once a week to keep it a bit wet

Thanks for the tips !!
You can force them out of the test tube by making the place you want them to go dark and putting a bright light on the test tube
Yeah I know but I don't want to force them out that could stress them too much 😁
You need to feed your ants more if they are hunting down those bugs that fast it means they aren't fed enough, i suggest a roach or 2
Oke I will ! Thanks!
