My TRAP-JAW ANTS vs ROACH

One of the most underrated ant colonies of this channel, in my opinion, under our care, that totally deserves more recognition, are these supremely unique ants, which have some of the fastest and most powerful appendages in the animal kingdom: Trap-jaw ants!
These ants get their name from their signature serrated mandibles which can open greater than 180 degrees, between which exist little trigger hairs, that like a trigger in a bear trap, once touched, cause the mandibles to snap shut with tremendous force instantly delivering a lethal blow or death lock upon any prey that might be unlucky enough to be a victim of its clutches. I felt it was time to return to their mighty forest kingdom, we call Aranyani’s Bend, to check up on our trap-jaw ants, and see what the colony’s been up to.
Ladies and gents, let’s gather round, put on our best protective head and body gear, and get up close and personal with our menacing, but beloved trap-jaw ants, as they feast on a huge roach carcass, like a hungry pride of lionesses, here on the AntsCanada Ant Channel. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

we truly need more trap jaw videos, they're besties!

[@daveowens271]

What's especially satisfying about AntsCanada is that we get an up close and personal view of creatures just doing what they were meant to do...and doing it well. They're so unlike us, but also, kind of like us as well. I never get bored seeing AntsCanada videos!

[@blessedsinner8686]

I love AntsCanada. I get to learn more about ants and get to relax at the same time.

[@bloodybear.]

The bone breakers

[@Wahots79]

You need to put them on rotation. So we get regular updates on ALL the ants.

[@AntsCanada]

Great idea!

[@jasonwallace1990]

I really like that idea. Do a different colony every month and you can even let the community vote on what colony gets focus for the month

[@rykersalisbury96]

Yeah, like what about those ants you caught under the Dracula Ant AC Farm?

[@robloxplayer4quadrillion]

​​@@AntsCanadahey my ants have started to grow what food do you reccomend they are black garden ant

[@Wahots79]

@@jasonwallace1990 I'd do a weekly rotation. If he has more than 7 colonies, it would be 8 months between seeing them. If each week we get an update (unless something truly spectacular happens) then it's only 8(ish) weeks between seeing them rather than 8 months.

[@savageasfmemes3859]

We need more of these TrapJawAnts videos its really entertaining.

Thank you for the update. I love the trap jaw colony. They are one of my favorite colonies in the Antiverse. They look like they have little mustaches...so cute.

[@Krushak8888]

To be honest I was getting tired of fire ants and common ones. I want to see trap jaws, drac ants and other ants.

[@ShashinGeoD]

True that

[@availablecupcake8764]

Yeah i wanna see how our drac ants are doing

[@That.ValorantKid]

Ive missed the Jawbreakers ever since they left the antiverse, and how fun watching feeding was for them, they were one of my favorites! But now, i can finally feel the joy of watching trap jaws feed again!

[@BreadGuy01]

You're so right, low maintenance is an absolute gift! Keep loving the Trap Jaws as you always have, I'm sure they're happy to be as unintrusive as possible.

[@pattylovett4682]

My daughter and I were just talking about trap jaw ants a day ago. Nice

[@joshg6491]

Personally id like a more scheduled rotation on your ant colonies. I emjoy the week by week update on the more popular colonies but i also enjoy seeing the other "secondary" colonies getting their own videos

I’m relatively new, so ngl didn’t even know you had these. Great to see them now!

[@thatirishasian]

The trap jaws are my favorites. It’s sad they haven’t been the focus of many videos. I still remember their valiant stand against the marauder ants awhile ago in the old apartment.

[@AL-xw1md]

Watching ants Canada then gets ant bait commercial😂

Would love for you to do a interactive commentary with the trap jaw ants, like you did with the yellow crazy ant queen sorority, it feels like a thing the trap jaw ants can pull off, since they all act kinda independently on their own

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

I love the trap-jaw ants. I think they're fascinating. If they grow much more, they're going to need a bigger home!

I truly wish the aunt were on a lighter background or a floor so we can see them a lot better it’s really hard to see when they’re on that dark ground that’s my thought

[@jackman5840]

Always love seeing updates, especially for such an interesting species of ant like the Trap-Jaw.

[@adacox]

For your 5 million sub count… celebration video Make a countdown video (maybe top 50)… of most emotional moments as an ant keeper. Number 1, maybe feeling all the love from your subscribers and supporters Include events that will take folks back to watch (or rewatch) the older videos… Things like: cockroach giving birth while being devoured First time catching a queen birthing an egg New species identified Death of favorite colony Finally catching a queen on nuptial flight Etc Congratulations!

[@user-wr1id5dz1t]

Trap-jaw ants actually refer to a wide range of ants with the signature fast-moving mandibles, as Odontomachus is not the only genus of ants to have this adaptation(like Anochetus sp.).

I absolutely love your educational documentaries 😊 they definitely make me look at ants differently. The ones that end up in my house idk if they are invasive or not but instead of killing them I feed them 😅 I leave a water bottle top with some raw honey in it outside to help keep them Outside were they belong

i found 2 trap jaw ant queens paired up in my backyard, no eggs yet and no workers, though i noticed one of the queens was definitely on hunting duty they are the wimpiest ants i've ever seen, i gave them a small termite from my colony and she kept missing the head and biting the air so instead gave them a piece of chicken and they started licking it i love them so much

[@tinastacruz8531]

so glad for AntsCanada! my interest/curiosity with ants started when i was around 8. was at school and saw this big black weird ant that had long snapping jaws. it was trying to come to me (was sitting on the floor in the halls of my school) and i was scared a used a pencil to block it from coming at me, and as soon as it snapped its jaws, it flung far. I have never seen that kind of thing with ants and it literally flew because of how strong its jaws were. Ants are amazing creatures. Now I know what they're called. Trap jaw ants!

[@lennexmc]

your videos make my day everytime

[@bg5886]

So happy you covered trapjaw ants. I have a colony of trapjaw ants and I have to say they are the most fun to watch!!! They are so smart and extremely fast when they want to be; but the most satisfying thing to watch is when they stalk prey.
