Ant War: Weaver Ants vs. Fire Ants

There's an epic ant war happening in my yard, and I managed to film scenes of weaver ants and fire ants battling it out. It was all part of an important natural balance of power between the native ants and invasive ants in my yard. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Greetings AC Family/Ant Lovers, thank you so much for watching this week's episode!

Love you all so much. Thanks you! Ant Love Forever! OK so QUESTION: What should we name the Weaver Ants of Antopia? Really need some good name suggestions! Let's give these native ant guardians a name, guys!

[@unknown3x-290]

I got an idea for the name of the Weaver ants. WEAVERS OF WAR!!!

[@cezerman8391]

The Village Hidden in the Leaves (Konoha/Konohagakure)

[@FelixtheBard]

Elves of the High Trees Or Weaver's of the Forest's Or maybe Guardian's of the Canapy

[@jesshou_x3]

I have an idea ! what about... "The Guardiants", because they are the most powerfull native ants, so guardian of their kingdome !

[@mokupele423]

I think they should be called the Emerald Wardens. A homage to the Emerald Empire, but instead of an empire they're Wardens. Protectors of Antopia.

UPDATE: we found 2 big fire ant hills, its winter so they have all gone dormant but i believe the ant hills are still active! when i was a kid we had a pretty big backyard and i was pretty intrested in ants so during summer i would watch a black ant colony, weavers and fire ants battle for control of territory throughout the yard. the black ants controlled a quiet corner of the yard and didnt take risks by raiding the other colonies. unlike the black ants, the fire ants and weavers were at war for the rest of the yard. i watched throughout 5 years as several pretty established colonies of both sides battle for the destruction of the enemy and survival. me and my 2 cousins mapped out the yard, naming sections such as a section that hosted several of the most powerful fire ant colonies we named The Scorch Lands, and a tree which was home to 4 different, powerful and massive weaver colonies that was named The Weaving Forest. We named the main frontier The Front and a section which used to host lots of new fire ant colonies that was completely wiped out by the weaver ants The Grave. I watched as the fire ants wiped out the yard behind their colonies as the weaver only existed on one side and the fire ants in the middle. We named the massive section that was wiped of any major life by the fire ants The Skull Field. I slowly watched over years as fire ant colonies fell one by one to weaver invasions and new ones stopped appearing. On one faithful day, the largest fire ant hill, Olympus was invaded and eradicated. This was a turning point and the fire ants fought a desperate downhill battle for survival. I still visit sometimes, and the weavers have all but eradicated the fire ants in the area.

Man this is what I miss about being in a suburb… I would go to the backyard and go on this huge rock shaped like a boat and underneath it an ant colony was thriving. Now I’m in a city, there’s only mosquitoes flies and other boring insects. And instead of being int the backyard, ants just go into your house. City ants are very rude.

I remember being on a “deployment” to the Philippines and seeing these weaver ant colonies all throughout the Jungle there. I was captivated by how ants decided to make their colonies in the leaves they placed together and thought it was pretty cool. Until one day during a field op, after an Infil, we were doing a file out of an ORP and one of my buddies rifles got caught in a nest over my head, the ants were all over my head, chest, and arms. It took about a minute to realize they were there because I was wearing a cobra head with jut and leaves. Needless to say, I started screaming in pain and my PSG and TL were freaking out trying to get these ants off me. Our Filipino counterparts were getting a good laugh at the sight. Good times 😂

[@NoobixCube]

When I moved to Queensland, I was initially afraid of the green ants getting on me, because being afraid of tiny arthropods is just prudent in Australia. Having moved from bull ant territory, I expected their bites to hurt and thought they'd sting me, and nearly fell out of a tree when I felt them crawling all over my hands and feet, but then they did their worst, retched a bit of formic acid, gripped on tight with their mandibles, and sure it itched a bit, but I realised they could be filed under "no biggie". Still, if you weren't used to the weird warm itch of their acid spit, getting a whole nest dumped on your face would have been an experience.

Now I fully understand why our subdivision developer introduced weaver ants in our area. Termites and fire ants used to be real nuisance in our subdivision but the weaver ants eradicated them out. Weaver ants typically stay away from humans unlike fire ants and termites.

Ok I know I'm REALLY late, but The Firefighters would have been a nice name for the wild weaver population.

[@ashikat413]

Something about watching 2 ants picking up the same object, and one ant just lifting the whole object AND other ant fully off the ground is hilarious. The second ant, fully raised into the air, feet can't even touch the ground, like "I'm helping!"

[@usernameisname7962]

The weaver ant colony should called 'Fire fighters'.

[@stxrcatphantom9798]

Take my like, i really hope this one gets picked.

I think "Emerald Guardian" is a pretty nice name, Emerald because to remember his own weaver ant colony and guardian because they protect antopia from team invasive ants.

I have a huge colony of western thatching ants in my yard. I'm bad at estimating numbers, but their hive is over 2½' high. If you get to close they will spray formic acid. While it's a mildly unpleasant smell for human, it works well against animals with a more sensitive sense of smell and other insects and bugs. It also works as an herbicide to kills sprouting plants to close to the colony. On top of that, it is also santizes because it is antimicrobial. They are such amazing creatures.

Angels of Arboria They are arboreal. They are superior to the land dwelling ants and are like guardian angels watching "over" the other native species. They alone are strong enough to battle fire ants(who could be compared to demons/imps from hell).
