      It's really cruel. Not funny at all. Why is he torturing these poor creatures and plants? We are all living beings and organisms. The fact this channel is verified for this is disgusting.
      Don't kill or harm Ants. Insects, Arachnids, Fish, Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, Crustaceans, all creatures think and feel as research shows, as it also shows all living beings have subjective experience and the same capability for consciousness we have (can only measure capability, we can't prove consciousness in ourselves, other humans, or other creatures, so capability is the term used).
      Ants also pass the mirror test (although fyi the mirror test is only helpful for positive results. I.E if a creature recognises onself in the mirror, it's a great indicator of self awareness, but if they don't, it isn't an indicator of anything because negative results hinge too much on perception, circumstance and senses [Dogs will sometimes recognise themselves, sometimes not, probably due to relying more on smell for identification for example, whereas we use sight more often]).
      Even if no creature thought or felt, they are still living organisms as is all life and should be treated with Love, care and respect, as with all Life too.
      Use harmless repellents to avoid and prevent infestations and gently and carefully move them from your home if they are there. Ironically harmless repellents are also the most effective method and when the proper repellent is used (usually Plants or Oils) and is properly harmless, then it is exactly that.

      That's a little different. He's feeding them crickets, because he keeps the ants captive and they rely on him for care. So would it be ethical to introduce a predator into the their habitat to kill them? I believe it's alright though. There were way too many ants and they would soon start causing serious problems. They should be kept in check in some way, and a natural "predator" seems like the best solution instead of just culling them

    I'm a botanist as I've mentioned before and this video completely floored me.
    This is AMAZING! What an incredible observation you've made there! I agree with your theory as well- that the pitchers being carnivorous for a short time is a way to gain the ant's 'trust' and makes the relationship a complex combination of predator/prey and mutualism.
    There are quite a few mutualisms like this in the plant world, where sugars are exchanged for mineral nutrients. The two that really spring to mind are the mycorrhizal networks of fungi that mesh with nearby plants, and the bacteria filled nodules of the leguminosae that supply plants with nitrates in return for carbons.
    The reason you need to supply your pitchers with distilled water only is because most tap waters are at least a little alkaline, and all acid-loving plants absolutely hate that! If you're finding supplying distilled water too expensive, you can try flat (no bubbles allowed!) mineral or bottled water. Just test a drop first with a strip of universal paper to make sure it's not alkaline.
    Plant love forever! :D

    I have always wondered if any naturalists study ants to the extent that you do. I've marveled at these little creatures since I was a child, and still stop to observe them and I'm 70 now.
    I don't know if you have a degree in ecology or biology, but the information that you are gathering and putting up for everyone to view has to be worth more to the scientific community than anything I have read about ants.
    I did keep a terrarium with a couple of crickets several years ago, and they are interesting to watch courting, mating, planting their young and maturing. I fed them flake fish food which they seemed to thrive on. I will probably set up another terrarium this year.

    The lid is the operculum. :-)
    Those Nepenthes are still young; they will get quite a bit larger if they're happy. The most important thing is that they stay moist and get really good light; otherwise they'll stop producing pitchers.
    It looked like some of the pitchers didn't have any liquid; they may have been older or kept dry. If there is a little and they catch ants, they'll produce more. Also the peristome are interesting in that the ants can often keep their footing when they're dry, but if they're wet, they become very slippery.
    Keep us updated on this experiment. It would be awesome if you became a Nepenthes grower too; you're in the world's best place for it! :-)

    • @edkroketje1
      @edkroketje1 7 років тому

      Actually a lot of Nepenthes species hate direct sunlight. they need a lot of light indeed, but not direct. a shady place is the best, as long as they do get light for long hours.
      If they get to much direct sunlight the leaves will often turn red instead of green.

Including the ferquent necessary "Storms" and the light you provide, you do what humans in the times of the old testament thought god would do.

    It's kinda funny, how most antkeepers are struggling and trying their very hardest to grow their colonies, and this fella is just murdering them left and right, (joke).

    I remember when I was about 10 years old, I was in Florida visiting family for the summer. They had this tiny puppy poodle. It was laying in the grass outside. All of the sudden it started yelping and jumping around. It was totally covered in ants. It was impossible to knock them off because of its thick fur. They ran it inside and put it in bath water. It took hours of spraying bug spray on the dog and washing to get the ants off. The dog did not make it through the night. I will never forget it.
