      @@EstheticAnts your welcome man, i love your content and i always know its gonna be a cool video when i get the notification but this time it was different with soo much into one video, editing was great everything was so smart and simple, for the amount of things in the video it never gave off that kind of “over crowded” vibe what can happen alot in so many peoples videos, greatly executed man! Enjoy the rest of your weekend bro

    Do you have any tips for a colony that is not eating? My lasius niger queen started with 3 workers but now there is only one left. I gave them all sorts of insects like fruit flies which they just dump outside. By the way nice video.
