    Greetings AC Family/Ant Lovers, thank you so much for watching this week's episode! This video took A LOT of work to shoot and create, so if you could remember to hit the LIKE button, SHARE the video, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL and select ALL) I'd greatly appreciate it, guys! Love you all so much. Thanks you! Ant Love Forever! OK so QUESTION: What should we name the Weaver Ants of Antopia? Really need some good name suggestions! Let's give these native ant guardians a name, guys!

      I think they should be called the Emerald Wardens. A homage to the Emerald Empire, but instead of an empire they're Wardens. Protectors of Antopia.

    I remember being on a “deployment” to the Philippines and seeing these weaver ant colonies all throughout the Jungle there. I was captivated by how ants decided to make their colonies in the leaves they placed together and thought it was pretty cool. Until one day during a field op, after an Infil, we were doing a file out of an ORP and one of my buddies rifles got caught in a nest over my head, the ants were all over my head, chest, and arms. It took about a minute to realize they were there because I was wearing a cobra head with jut and leaves. Needless to say, I started screaming in pain and my PSG and TL were freaking out trying to get these ants off me. Our Filipino counterparts were getting a good laugh at the sight. Good times 😂

      When I moved to Queensland, I was initially afraid of the green ants getting on me, because being afraid of tiny arthropods is just prudent in Australia. Having moved from bull ant territory, I expected their bites to hurt and thought they'd sting me, and nearly fell out of a tree when I felt them crawling all over my hands and feet, but then they did their worst, retched a bit of formic acid, gripped on tight with their mandibles, and sure it itched a bit, but I realised they could be filed under "no biggie". Still, if you weren't used to the weird warm itch of their acid spit, getting a whole nest dumped on your face would have been an experience.

    UPDATE:
    we found 2 big fire ant hills, its winter so they have all gone dormant but i believe the ant hills are still active!
    when i was a kid we had a pretty big backyard and i was pretty intrested in ants so during summer i would watch a black ant colony, weavers and fire ants battle for control of territory throughout the yard. the black ants controlled a quiet corner of the yard and didnt take risks by raiding the other colonies. unlike the black ants, the fire ants and weavers were at war for the rest of the yard. i watched throughout 5 years as several pretty established colonies of both sides battle for the destruction of the enemy and survival. me and my 2 cousins mapped out the yard, naming sections such as a section that hosted several of the most powerful fire ant colonies we named The Scorch Lands, and a tree which was home to 4 different, powerful and massive weaver colonies that was named The Weaving Forest. We named the main frontier The Front and a section which used to host lots of new fire ant colonies that was completely wiped out by the weaver ants The Grave. I watched as the fire ants wiped out the yard behind their colonies as the weaver only existed on one side and the fire ants in the middle. We named the massive section that was wiped of any major life by the fire ants The Skull Field. I slowly watched over years as fire ant colonies fell one by one to weaver invasions and new ones stopped appearing. On one faithful day, the largest fire ant hill, Olympus was invaded and eradicated. This was a turning point and the fire ants fought a desperate downhill battle for survival. I still visit sometimes, and the weavers have all but eradicated the fire ants in the area.

    The Weaver ants should be called the "Forest Guardians." The idea that gave me this name is the fact that you have a bunch of trees out of your backyard and it's surrounding Antopia, so I like to think the weaver ants as some kind of protecters of Antopia.
