That was fantastic! So cool that you found some Mystrium! Thanks for the shout-out.
Yeah, they were awesome! Happy to send folks your way to know more.
This channel deserves way more subs. Also that Aphaenogaster species is large and beautiful. Wish I could get my hands on a Queen during a nuptial flight.
Thanks so much! One of the ways you can help us grow is by sharing our videos with your friends. And yes, they sure are a beautiful species!
Great one miles!
Hmmm
These shows are amazing Miles!! Great job! Keep up the amazing work!!
Wow, beauteous ants! I was a little confused by your talk of chameleons because I couldn't see any. Hmm. Oh well, thanks Miles! #thisistheULTIMATEsnapjawant
What we do for ants (•‿•)
I’m so happy this channel is as active as it is. I love the effort you put into these vids. Great work!
Thank you!
The Ant Network np man. Would you recommend any aspirators for catching larger queens/brood? I love camponotus colonies and I want to try a different way of catching queens this summer
One day I'll make it there to Madagascar. Great stuff Miles.
Thank you, StoneAgeMan!
Very awesome video! I am just wondering how one would transfer this kind of curriculum to the continental U.S. Do you have plans on producing videos like this in the future pertaining to ants found throughout the lower 48?
I would never have the courage to handle tetraponera without gloves !
Fantastic video!! Loving the macro footage of the ants to!Excellent quality! :D
Thank you, Chris! We had a blast filming these ants, and thanks to the support of our institutional partners and viewers, we've been able to significantly upgrade our macro capabilities. This was our first opportunity to try those out!
@@MilesMaxcer look forward to seeing more! Keep up the great work! 😀
Always love and admire your work, thx your for uploading a new video !!! Please keep them coming
Thank you Mickey! We'll do our best!
Another Great video.The largest colony I have so far is the Australian Aphaenogaster longiceps, they always look so funny running around with their down turned gasters.
Mystrium voeltzkowi is a very cool species of ant
Isnt the Crematogaster the sp biroi?
You have a great channel
4:00 Interestingly, genetic analysis has found that these ants, while classified as Aphaenogaster, are actually a separate undescribed genus unique to Madagascar.
That’s correct! Dr. Fisher will share with us the final determination once the genus has been described.
Awesome guys!
You should have a mill subs
Amazing!
Great vid, great info. Keep up the good work mate :)
