My next “big” investment is to get a good lens for my camera. Or at least a few tube extensions because I have a macro lens for my canon rebel t5. Then lighting! I’m currently using an iPhone 13 Pro Max for recording so it’s not the best. I’m definitely ready to get better stuff though to make high quality content. THE PEOPLE DESERVE HD FORMICA VIDEOS! lol!!
Yes I've got a similar plan. One of my camera bodies will autofocus with old lenses (autofocus is essential because of an eye problem), and there are some very good old macro lenses available very reasonably, so it shouldn't take me too long.
3:55 you don't offer an empty space to put trash. Food area. nest area. Where is trash supposed to go?? Next to foo?! poison themselves?? Put in a crossing at the pipe and offer an area that's just empty. Done
They actually don’t put their trash super close to their food. I clean the trash out daily so it’s not building up and I always make sure to clean all feeding dishes daily (I used to not do that before. I’m trying to do better). I don’t have a lot of space to have all these different tubes and outworlds everywhere unfortunately. I’m working with what I have 😃
This guy deserves more subscribers!
Love the video Trey!
Love the colony, it seems to be pretty rare that someone can raise a formica colony to that size so congrats!
Nobody said it, so I have to. I saw the QUEEN!!! Nice video. Subbed.
My formica are also waking up a bit early this year, yours look so good in there labyrinth, gonna make sooo much brood this season
I sure hope so! I love seeing this colony grow!

She is at 4:24 too middle left
I can’t find her! 🥲
Where!
Beautiful Colony
Thanks! They’ve been growing insanely fast recently!
Yup. They weren’t really in the outworld during the cooler months. It is April now, and they really eating almost everyday now 😤
I like the video, please do more! You probably need to upgrade your camera, but so do I, and its never cheap.
