AC Family, I can't believe I FINALLY caught it on film after weeks of trying! But just a TIP: Keep on watching until the VERY end! ;) Hope you guys can remember to LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL) if you enjoyed this week's video! Thanks so much, guys! Ant love forever!
AC: “Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a queen fire ant lays an egg?” Me just getting off work chilling: “I mean no but please do continue”
Ant that pushed the larva aside: "Hey is the larva you were looking fo-" Some ant: "YOU REMOVED THE CENSOR!" Another ant: "EVERYBODY PANICK!!!" Ants Canada: "Look the ant finally let us look" Me: hmm good job Also me: *thinks about this story and writes it in the comments*
the things we learned about the queen laying and egg are: -her stinger grows longer the closer she is to producing an egg and retracts once the egg has been produced -she has noticeable contractions when she is about to lay an egg -she buries her head in a dark spot of the brood so it is dark for her -she may curl up into a foetal position while laying a new egg
Pregnancy’s fine. Imagine being rushed into the delivery room with a random dude trailing behind, cameras and recording equipments strapped to himself, eyes wide with anticipation and shouting at nurses and doctors to move out the way while he tried to film the birthing process
It never fails to amaze me how those tiny bread crumb thief’s actually beat Europe to colonialism imperialism and militarism and naturally evolved into nation’s with society’s
Random thought: you said the light changes the ants behavior; have you tried a red light? Many animals dont respond the same. Might be worth looking into
I love the fact that the queens stinger comes out when she gives birth. To me, it seems like she is protecting the egg and herself when she is vulnerable.
The "stinger" she has is actually called an ovipositor. The stinger itself is a modified ovipositor which is why only female model ants/wasp/bees have stingers. The ovipositor itself assists in the laying and is also how some wasps/hornets can lay eggs in live victims for their young like caterpillars or spiders. That being said I've never seen how it works in ant queens so thank you for uploading this
We all learned that the queen does three things: She buries her head to get darkness, she extends her stinger, and her gaster curls under her as she has contractions. Finally an egg pops out. Thank you for teaching me about ants along the years. #antloveforever
Answer: I learned how her workers are so aware of her activity at all times so that they can scramble to be in position to add the new egg to their complex work flow.
Ummm, this channel is....awesome. I don't know how I got here. I've never looked at anything remotely related to ants before. But here I am. The video is incredible. @antcanada is so excited, it makes me excited. There is a lot of humor that makes me smile. It is just all very, very well-done. So, I guess this is what I'll be binge watching instead of sleeping.
Mikey, keep this up! Even after getting millions of subs, you still keep in touch with the community. Most corporations lose touch with community at your size, you are doing great!
I love how he keeps repeating the name of the queen and the parts of the empire at the beginning of every video. This makes me feel connected to them as I voted for the names. It feels so special
AntsCanada: Do you want to see a fire ant queen laying eggs in full 4K HD?? Me: Actually *YES* I love this series so much, every video showcasing the evolution of the colony is pure gold! Thank you.
I live in Australia, every night at Saturday I stay up till 12 o clock to watch the Phoenix empires video, please continue posting about the Phoenix empire
Literaly i was searching for this when i found ur channel 3 years ago. I woud be happy seeing other ant qeens laying eggs and seeing eggs turn into a fully grown ant in a timelap.
It’s probably wishful thinking, but I like to think that her pushing that larva out of the way was a kind of thanks. Ember empress: “you know what? You’ve fed my kids for a few months now and also gave me a perfect nesting site, so I think I’ll let you in on what goes on in this colony.” :)
Looks like I'm the first to answer to the A.C. question of this week so, because my native language isn't English but French, I wonder if The Ultimate ant-keeping book exists in other languages than English like French.
