Fire ants, black crazy ants, yellow crazy ants and now these Polyrhachis ants: Time and time again, the keeping of ants has made for some really unique revelations into the natural world around us. Today we make some really amazing scientific discoveries and finally answer the questions: Where did our Polyrhachis ants disappear to, and what was that mysterious mist seen floating on El Dragon's waters last week?

Sometimes I forget that this channel is literally just about ants.
I love your vids
Same
you forgot because he has stopped showing ant content and started showing only cliff hangers and click baits
really? so the entirety of the video suddenly isn't about ants anymore? Because he wants his viewers to grow/keep coming back? Like every successful creative venture?
Nice videos bud you ask also to name your fish last week so wen is that coming up ?
Previous video: WHAT. IS. THAT???
This video: yeah i bought a fogger
trust me, i was thinking the same thing!!
Yah this was one of the cases where i felt he way overdid it
Me to
SEAN CAI me too!
AntsCanada when he runs out of video ideas and natural plots: the when what because it yes
I found this channel an hour ago. Now I want to be an ant keeper...
same
i also had this happen watching beekeeping videos....still don't know how I got there...or here for that matter...
Me ti
Same
literally the same now. cant wait to do more research and start my small empire.
Me: *Watches video like normal*
*sees ad about how to kill ants with their product*
Also Me: D8
I got the same ad
How crazy
Lol
Use their product to kill the advertiser.
I saw an ad for “how to kill ants permanently”. First of all, animals can’t just revive. Second, WHAT DA HECK
"we are a scientific channel..." "... we put the dragon skull to appease the dragon soul..."
😂😂😂😂😂
gl777 me
AntsCanada lol
that’s some good logic
basically "I don't believe in curses...but...just in case..." can't argue with that :'D
The fact that a major scientific research paper could be written just because you love ants so much is amazing.
I feel like a proud momma! 👏
We did it together! Ant love forever!
SCIENCE ;^; I LOVE IT SO MUCH IM CRYING THINKING ABOUT THE BREAKTHROUGHS OF THIS LIVING LEGEND
AntsCanada You, young man, are the beginning of it all, so give yourself some credit.
If I were you, I'd set up a 24 hr live feed so that the AC family could observe the colony and help out in discovering new behaviors. If they could do it for a baby giraffe, you can do it for ants. 😉
Para Momal but that profile tho
Issac Bbboooyyy 😊 My daughter's Halloween costume, you like? I made it from latex and cardboard.
"We sloved the mystery high five guys!"

Laptop 💻: Ummm... Yay?
Smame my ipad fell
"High five guys!"
Me: *high fives phone*

I get the reference (unless that was by accident) XD
Jiang Ping Jiang Papa Bless my dude
i never thought that i would be this into ants, your channel is very interesting and a channel about ants somehow just keeps me on the edge of my seat, love it
Same!
syl woest me too
Not only does he put the video in such an short and action packed as possible,he is also able to fit so little time to edit,film,and not to mention finding the important things to show the vewier.and not this video,all his videos are put in a shortest amount of time.
Nice Ants Canada.
Ant love forever!!!
2:47 such a humble guy making discoveries and crediting it to people he never met or knew outside comments and votes(social media also maybe)
The one man who can make watching ants exciting
shownsnow that's true
The wait felt SO LONG, I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS. this channel is the most interesting thing on youtube. keep up the good work AC!!
Thank you! I appreciate the support! Ant love forever!
IKR I WAIT FOREVER TIL SATURDAY AND WHEN A VID COMES OUT IM SO HAPPY
Ike Bam that cliffhanger felt like forever right!
True
Ike Bam yes this video seem like it took to long
You probably learn more about ants than ant experts do

I never thought I would be so interested in ants Good Job man I lost track of time oh geez its 2;45am 😐🤣😴
Bruh, been watching his videos for 8 hours now...
...bro...i stayed up 9pm to 7am
Yeah, never even thought about ants before I found this channel. Now I want a colony, but I’ll wait and learn for at least few months befor I take action. Or next year
Im filipino im fineing weaver ant qeens
A great mix of enthusiasm, science and drama. You have a new subscriber
Galavnised Thank you! Welcome to the AC Family!
My thoughts exactly.
Greetings from the Philippines😁
i love how such a normal(but AWESOME) ant keeper now has evolved to have an ENTIRE LORE behind his ants.
It would be so cool if you put the fogger into the skull then it would look like actual dragons breath
ac: High five guys!
me: * slaps ipad *
I did the exact same thing
I waited all week for this video. I will wait all week for the next one, and continue waiting for videos. Who knew ants can be so entertaining?
"Who knew ants can be so ANTertaining" ,':^))
Some weeks ago you said that maybe you can put a webcam in one of the colonies. Maybe you can stream this black dragons, for science purposes.
Oliver de la Rosa that is a very good idea.
Oliver de la Rosa this is such a cool idea! he could have a few small webcams set up in different corners of the terrarium! my only concerns would be 1) that the invading pharaoh ants could potentially disturb the footage or use the cameras to somehow get into the tank and 2) if the cameras were wireless it would make it more of a hassle for him to upkeep, and if they werent, it could also potentially help the invading pharaoh ants to either get into the polyrhachis setup or destroy whatever computer he used to keep the stream running by traveling along the wires!
this could potentially be remedied by him putting a barrier of baby powder solution just above where the cameras are set, so the ants fall into the water and get eaten by the fish before they can disturb the cameras (and also keeping any wires away from the walls) but thats not foolproof, because if the pharaoh ants slip far enough above the water they could potentially flail around and push themselves far enough away from the wall to land on the rocks and completely bypass the water barrier! (wow this is a long comment im sorry lol)
Nic Smith. That makes sense.
The cameras can be outside the terrarium, in the same way he records normally
Oliver de la Rosa wow i didnt even think about that 😥😥 im dumb lol, that would be a way smarter idea and less risky! the only concern id have then is potentially dirty glass and thats easy to fix!
3:32
Golden poop!
It might be coin ingredients! XD
or ad xd
I absolutely love how you keep saying "we, the AC family". It makes me feel good 😊🐜❤️
I have alwyase liked ants and now i found a channel that shows them in their natural habatat. Thanks ants canada!🐜
MCPE GAMER12 a year ago, i absolutely hated ants... now? I go and feed the colony that lives in my yard
Uhm you geg that this isn't their natural habitat it's a duplicate of the best posible habitat they could have
Yeah this is no natural habitat
Last week: OMG What is this fog!? This is scary!
This week: HEHE I installed a fog machine. GOTCHYA!
I just recently stumbled across your channel, and before I started watching some of your videos I honestly didn’t even give a second thought about ants. But now I come to appreciate them so much more and really marvel in the way they live and behave. Your channel is so relaxing and tranquil, and I really like how you are constantly involving your “ac family” in the commentary. It’s like you’re not just talking into a microphone but talking to US and with us. You have a knack for creating a very calm inducing experience while watching your videos and I have to remind myself that half these videos are actually about insects. Amazing work. Truly beautiful
I was never really too interested in ants but the way you take care of them so well makes me happy and I learn a lot about them.
i love that this combines logical drama and SCIENCE
Thanks for the support! Ant love forever!
It’s perfect.
That flash of all the old soil being moved, the dead ants, the Bearded Dragon... it felt like a horror scene! It was amazing.
Yeah, Science!
Joshua Lee I’m down for the sience part, but not the all made up drama. Literally he added a humidifier and acted like he had no idea what’s going on. That’s BS. But if it’s natural drama like the ants moving that’s okay.
just a comment, tho. ;)
Can you plllleeeeeeaaaaaassse make two vids a week?!? The suspense kills me every time!!
"Wow! The mysterious fog was actually made by me, and I just forgot to tell you!"
-___-
It’s so awesome that you contributed to science through this documentation. I just found yours site this week and am thrilled. I’m 50 🤣and my whole life have spoken of wanting a huge ant farm and people look at me like I’m a freak. Yay. You’ve made me so happy!
see i didnt really care about where the ants moved but i was more interested in the mist only to have it anticlimacticly revealed it was a machine that created the fog...
Melvin T He forgot that he put it there.
ShamaLlama DingDong still. It’s just a let down and he could have chose to not use it as a huge false cliffhanger and could have edited it out
Dude your changing the future and litterly just knocked out most of the unknowns for this ant species. Your the MvP
Senpai notised me !
tomis wolf iq
tomis wolf 6
"litterly"
Its not just cool footage. Its scientifically cool footage.
I found your channel the other day and have been binge watching all your videos! I loooove them all!
I've commented before, but it was a long long while ago. I just now was reminded of your channel, and I'm loving watching these Tales of El Dragon! I'm not particularly fond of ants or insects in general, but I learn so much watching your videos that I'm really beginning to appreciate what these little insects do for our world. I never really understood how diverse and complicated ants were until I really started watching them and trying to understand them as I might any larger or "cuter" animal. It wasn't long until your passion and care for your ants reminded me of how I care for my bearded dragon--another pet not everyone enjoys--and I see now how much you love these little guys. How can anyone not support or enjoy that? A+++
The dragons spirit is now helping
Alfons Dimalaluan he has apeased the spirit of the dragon
This channel is actually the most exciting channel, and it's about ants.
This channel has some of the best videos i have seen on UA-cam. The great narrative mixed with actual science and epic edit it's just somethig i won't skip.
Nice job!
You are a gifted story teller. It's almost been two weeks from my first discovery of your Channel and I've nearly watched every video. I'm hooked!
I normally love all your videos because of how interesting it is. However, I feel a little betrayed by how click-baity the issue of the mist was. The last video would have been much better if you’d just left it as they had moved from their nest
Can you not?
ShamaLlama DingDong how about you? Its called criticsm hypocrite
Ross Fischuer true but shama went and putt hate on all of these comments
Daffye Taffy I'm just telling the people who are writing mean things that he clearly just made a mistake because everyone makes one.
+ShamaLlama DingDong The internet is not your personal safe space, not to mention the fact that what AC did is the literal definition of clickbait. There is nothing wrong with calling it out.
I waited an entire week for the first seven minutes of this video to be a tease. Skip to 7:00 where the video actually begins
izan Reltih thanks, it’s sucks that most of the video is just filler and repeating stuff we already know
WOW HE PLACED IT!
I SPENT AGES THINKING THE FOG WAS SOMETHING BAD!
ARGHHHHH!
It's interesting that a species of weaver ant would chose to move into a resin aquarium decoration. I wonder if they occasionally use other homes in the wild and it just has not been recorded yet.
I know that a lot of people are calling for 2 vids per week. Don't do it. There is a lot of quality that would be lost if you were popping these out every 3 days. Loving the series. Please take all the time you need. It's definitely worth the wait
Dude, I was wiping so much sweat off my head for the past week. I was worried these new ants would've been killed.
I LOVE the cliffhangers at the end of your videos!!!
How do you spin ant science into such an engaging narrative?! This keeps my attention better than most tv shows
Now I wonder what went though my mind when I was squishing ants as a kid, thinking how “useless” and “boring” ants are lol
i just made an island in my sandbox, filled the sandbox with water, then placed a bunch of ants from a colony in my back yard onto the island, watching them scurry around as the water rose and the sand-island slowly crumbled. I'd sometimes bring survivors home to the colony. "survival training" i called it ;P
When I was a little kid I was apparently a f*cking sadist because I used rip ant’s antennae off and watch them scurry around in panic before killing them. I regretted it way before I discovered this channel, but looking at these ants always makes me feel guilty again. I guess I’m lucky that they weren’t dangerous ants though, I used to and still do pick up pretty much any ant I see to let them crawl around my hands. I really do love ants. It’s weird, when I was younger I used to step on ants and squish spiders and bat moths, but now I love ants, try to relocate any spiders near my house (even though I’m still arachnophobic), and I’ve saved a few moths from the ocean before. I have limits though, mosquitoes have no sympathy from me, and I’d probably let my dad destroy a wasp nest near our house.
Ur year is starting amazing
Bro
I’m poor
I really want an ant colony
For my birthday
Gaming and more With The Exterminator!! Hah
I love you channel and this was uploaded on my birthday February 17th thx for the upload keep the colonies growing well!
I like your storytelling and fantasy-like world building you do on your episodes. The mysterious mist you added to this one is pretty fun too. Keep up the good work and congrats on the scientific accolades!
The mist could also scare the black dragons ants from falling into the river
L30 clever.
Very true
100th like.
Very true as well.
More videos a week.
Carla Hunter I agree
Me too
mina aghaei I wish he would
Carla Hunter agreed
Agreed! And make them longer!!
I’m not a fan of ants, but I happen to chance upon a video and I was mesmerised with your voice tone, the story-like concept, the naming of your babies, and I’m still not a huge fan but I keep coming back to watch your videos! Your are awesome! Great work!!
I will never look at an ant the same way again. I love you ,your channel, the ants, and am so glad to be apart of the AC family!
My dad is an Entomologist and he loved your videos
Loved the episode as usual, but I absolutely despised finding out that the mist was created by you, when in last video you made it sound like another thing to be afraid of going wrong.
You don’t need to lie to us and treat us like reality TV Watchers. Please keep up the awesome work.
Devin Johns do you want a video just about ants walking around doing their own things? He did this so he can see what we I interpret from this so no hate to him...
Jiang Ping Jiang I didn’t mean for my message to come across as hate for him. I hate being treated like I don’t know better. I am interested in everything this channel does, and we’re all capable of learning from/enjoying the stuff he presents here without fabricated drama.
I actually enjoyed the suspense lol
Lmao the fact that you really thought a FOG in a FISHTANK was natural. Like that just happens.
Devin Johns true
When he said “ it hit me.” The commercial for kit kat in which a car hits a kit kat bar came up immediately after he said it
Hi
I am now addicted to your channel and hope to see new adventures of your ant colony.
The Dragon's Curse saga has easily been my favourite series of videos. The death of one colony has led to the rise of another.
Long live the Black Dragons!
Tbh im not a big fan on nature but ant canada makes it extremely interesting love your vids keep It up
dat boy orly yea fukk nature (sarcasm)
Ben Shearer XD
The Black Dragons have great taste in living space. Seriously, a dragons skull? That's just too awesome.
never expected i would enjoy watching vids about ants. u make it so much fun keep on the great work
Been following for two years now...and this was honestly the first video I waited a week for!!!!! WTH happened....jesus man!!! lol
You've done it again! Honestly AntsCanada you are the best channel on UA-cam. Please never stop creating content. All your videos are so addicting and intrestings. Im hooked on all your ants stories.
Thank you! I appreciate the support! I can't wait for what's ahead for us and the ants. Ant love forever!
You just got a sub keep up that good work
We need an update on this colony! I love the look of these ants!
The skull would be the most likely candidate as it is a hard shell so that the ants don't need to build as much as they would have on the leaves. I have a feeling it will be okay for a while now with the current setup
Oh, good point! Let's hope so! Thanks for watching! Ant love forever!
For the yellow crazy ants, you really need to do something before they manage to find a smart way to escape. Way to many in there to keep them happy. Also, if you would place too many people in the same cramped space, you would quickly see irritation and fights happening. It may be less for ants, but i fear with this number of ants and the small space they are in it may as well happen. Cannibalism may be around the near future for this tank.
Efficiency is just applied laziness. Good thinking, ants.
At first I didn't like this channel, but now I am so hooked
yeah same
2:43 this is the most wholesome ant channel on youtube
Omg at 6:56 when you said "and then it just hit me!" Ads pop up scared the crap out of me XD
I'm so proud of you! Not only you created a whole new AMAZING ecosystem, but you also started making history! It must be a wonderful feeling to be able to help scientists study ants... And it is an honor for the AC family to be able to watch it :) thank you so much!
We don’t believe in curses? Oh yeah we do. RIP Trapjaws, Tombraiders, and Titans.
Embar Blaze there’s something with the T
Embar Blaze don't forget his bearded dragon
Wow i just discovered your chanel. Truely amazing videos. The cool material you show us and the commentairy is legendary. Happy to join your AC family! :)
Welcome to the AC Family! Ant love forever!
AntsCanada I didnt know anything about this hobby until I stumbled onto your chanel. Very interesting.
AntsCanada When will you make an update on this colony??
how the h*ll does a person make keeping ants so dramatic and suspenseful you've just earned a sub
But if they needed the humidity.. wouldn't they've stayed in the leaves? Don't the have a reason for moving to the (dryer atmosphere) skull?
Maybe, since the skull is not occupied until now, its already previously humid... its only a matter of time until they move out because its dry, and since Mikey gave them humidity outside, they will go back nesting on the leaves
Joeri van der Spek the skull was warmer and darker
Joeri van der Spek they probably moved there for the queen
This is like an ant horror movie/series
Agree hahaha!
You know what'd be another good name for those fish? Del Lago after the monster in Resident Evil 4. It's fitting, I think. XD
When he said"high five guys! "I smacked my phone. XD
2:39 Mikey is the sweetest guy ever!
Although Mikey’s the one doing all the work, he always makes us feel included in his amazing journeys and discoveries, so far as to include us in crediting possible future scientific papers!
I love you Mikey, and you’ve sparked #AntLove in me!
Are you kidding me I waited a week for another cliffhanger
2fttobey I guess you just went directly to the last 10 seconds of the video or something. This video helped me with some ideas for my ponds with the foggy thing.
Lol
thecrazylooser7 no I just was sad when the video ended
Im always sad when the videos end lol
thecrazylooser7 why would you think he just watched the last 10 seconds?
What a let down. Smh
Kris Perez He clearly made a mistake, everybody does.
I love how the tanks that the ants live in are just like the wild. It's so satisfying and interesting to watch ants and eco-systems working.
just found this channel today and have watched almoat ur entire channel. good stuff
Dude, I love this channel
Gergelim RE this channel rules
Darn you and your darn cliffhangers... BUT I STILL LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Urg only 12 minute's
You Sir deserve your own segment on some tv Animal or Science station. I can watch you all day!!
Just subscribed! Such an amazing channel! Very well done! I cannot stop watching
why is this *not* on animal planet. dude you could make some serious money. you made ants exciting I have post notifications on for you dude. you are the reason I kind of are into ants
Thebosskidrpg3 Dinicola he gets money in the views he get
No worries, friend! UA-cam means it is free, non-corporate, and allows for you guys to be deeply involved with polls and comment interaction/input. Thanks for the support! Ant love forever!
Lol selling urself to animal planet would not make you "some seroius money". You get 5 times the views on yt and you have amazing freedom to make the content you want.
Thebosskidrpg3 Dinicola well he was featured on a nature program on Animal Planet years ago. There is a video on his channel that I'd like 5-6 years old that is of his interview.
yeah but then he has to make it one hour
I liked this episode, but you should upload atleast twice a week, i would love to watch more of your content!
i love ants like i LOVE watching them doing there own thing walking around
founding food sticks or something to bring to the nest i just really love watching them i really do
I always feel proud of my country (Philippines) when someone managed to get credit at every video i find
For the Golden Empire's population problem, try introducing some more predators!
I got a smol list
*Orchid mantis:* Same benefits as the other one; but they stay smaller (Could feed on ants their whole life, I think!) Add a male and female so they can breed; they won't overpopulate, as their cannibalistic nature keeps their own population in check, as well as the ants likely eating many of the young. They also stand out much more among the foliage, so you won't loose them, but they just look like flowers to the ants!
*Jumping spider:* They make little cobwebs, and can jump out of danger as their name suggests. They are pretty small and would no doubt eat the ants if given the chance. Put in a few, but probably no females, as they may breed too much and fill the setup with webs.
*Oogpister Beetles:* These beetles eat ants; they simply go into ant territory and eat them. They flick off ants that try to bite it.
If these don't help by themselves, then there's always turning down the temperature to reduce egg-laying rate and the rate at which workers expend energy.
Hope this helps, so you don't have to take other measures! Ant love forever!
(Like & reply to this comment so he can see it!)
Okay
Woah thats relly good lol
Smol?
Peeble Kitty that actually might work
Peeble Kitty
Every week I get more and more impressed by this habitat. It’s just so cool!!!!
Me too
You inspire me to love ants and care for them this is why I love you’re channel and I learn lots of things about ant that I don’t know 🐜
Ok... I randomly watched one of your videos 2 hours ago and I still can't stop! At first I thought it was so odd, but I must say your love and enthusiasm for ants is infectious! I'm thinking maybe I might start an ant colony soon?!
are you kidding me i ben waiting 6 days for to find out the fog was a trick and you just hade make use wait for 6 more days to find out the is that habitat at the end
Love Nature shows , specially ant shows ANT LOVE FOREVER!❤❤❤
You can count on this channel to give you all the nature you love! Ant love forever!
😘😘
AntsCanada you should really upload twice a week to me this stuff is so interesting
Flow_ Beast_
He make people want to see and get desperate to keep everyone watching
AC Rules
Just freaking amazing! It may sound ridiculous, but your ant videos have just made me remember why I used to love nature so much, how it feels getting amazed by it and why I decided to study biology several years ago. There are many things out there to discover, and once again i'm wanting to witness them! I'm definitelly subscribing to your channel, keep up your incredible work! Greetings from Spain.
