My pet ants have come back from the dead! One of my ant colonies, whom we have had to say goodbye to in the past, is making an epic return to my Ant Room! I am extremely excited about their return, but this time, I have an epic plan for their ant farm terrarium! In this episode, we attempt to create a self-feeding system, complete with springtails, plants, and mites. The outcome of this ambitious biological ant project will blow you away! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

What happened to the termites?

[@Czechants]

I think if something happened to them we would already know that:) there is just too much ant colonies on this channel :)

[@GreebleClown]

It takes a while to get a colony big enough to move into a setup, and termites have specific requirements. He'd also have to figure out how to observe them, as termites avoid light and some species never leave their nest. Dark and humid is the thing to keep them. Pretty sure it'll be a while before we hear from the termites.

The energy the jawbreakers are expending trying to catch the springtails and failing seems to be more than the energy they get back from a few successful catches. Maybe he should add a bigger feeder "cattle" for them. Those big jaws are probably more suited for catching bigger prey anyways.

[@marialeyva1435]

Ya

[@LtGameboy]

based on my experience with self sufficient ecosystems, also known as ecospheres, the trap-jaw ants will not have enough food to support their colony without supplement. There is not enough space for a sufficient amount of spring tails to thrive in this system.

[@TheLocust911]

Especially with the amount of effort that goes into catching every tiny spring tail

[@isaiahvaiza5662]

LtGameboy ya i was thinking the same

[@tckteamcoolkats2924]

LtGameboy they’ll get better at catching the springtails as time goes on and springtails reproduce super fast so their will always be s food source for them

[@LtGameboy]

TeamCoolKats YT That's not really the problem The problem is more that the size of the container is too small for a sufficient amount of spring-tails to live in there, and the ants will starve, not because they can't catch the spring-tails, but because there are too few spring tails to feed the ants.

[@MelkiorMonster]

I was thinking the same. Its kind of like setting up lions to hunt vultures, only in minature. The springtails work at breaking things down, as the clean up crew. They get plucked up here and there yes, but I don't quite thing that's the proper niche the fill as primary feeders for predatory species. (Usually would be ignored mostly as predators will mostly recognise them as cleanup crew unless the pred is desperate.) Basically the amount of work needed to hunt the springtail may outweigh the output from the tiny meal. That's why they jump at the chance to grab those juicy flies when they fall in. I think tossing some other feeders in once in a while would highly benefit this colony, they may skirt by otherwise but never really be prolific as say the golden empire.

Are you sure the springtails will provide enough sustenance for the Jawbreakers? I mean, they are hard to catch, and they aren’t that big...

[@AntsCanada]

Oh, I forgot to mention that this species of trap-jaws eats springtails in the wild.

[@44BlueFoxes]

I agree. And if you're eating the critters that clean your garbage.... who's cleaning your garbage? I mean once one ant gets good at catching springtails, they should theoretically be able to share the 'knowledge' of how best to do it, around the entire colony but like you say, I don't think there's enough sustenance there. They might need top-ups to their food supply from an external source.

[@subswithoutvideos-tl5yf]

Oh really? If so, that's pretty dang cool.

[@adamryanvillanueva4175]

Ewan Penhale i saw your comment and you spoil the video

[@meiru2453]

Actually, I'm more worried that eventually the number of ants will be significantly higher than the number of spring cleaners. Unlike in the wild, where the spring cleaners have an unlimited area to live, here in the ant terrarium, they're basically put on the silver plate for the ants. So to speak, I think they'll be overpowered and devoured in near future.

Jaw breakers will only eat small foods cause they are very careful. Watch a video on the old jawbreakers, they would only take cockroach babies or half a cockroach baby. I might be wrong though.

[@migueldeclercq3883]

The wild flies are the worst supplement possible. Flies are one of those insects that can ingest insecticides and their bodies store it, they don't poop it out or anything. So if you want to kill your ant colony, it's a perfect food source for sure, they're like little time bombs. I totally agree that the springtails will not do. He needs to add another kind of insect colony in there or he needs to feed them as usual.

[@ghoulishtheories7979]

That’s what I was thinking. They’re so small, and for a colony of 100, yeah I don’t know. I’m also not to keen on those mites being in there. The fact that he caught two older ants already getting devoured by them kind of worries me of the colony’s survival.

[@cooperolm9687]

Yeah, wild ants are sustained on a variety of prey of all sizes as well as carrion, some tiny springtails aren't going to cut it. This isn't natural for them, it's a slow starvation.

[@cooperolm9687]

The mites thing sounded like he was just irresponsible mixing things from between colonies and accidentally introduced mites, then tried to play it off like it was on purpose. I'm bummed about it, but I doubt this colony is long for this world :(

[@mariorossi9580]

I would have added isopods, roaches and other insects some weeks BEFORE the introduction of the colony, so that some other kinds of prey could florish during that period of time. I don't even know if the diet of these ants is springtales-based in nature. This is a big mistake for me.

[@jazionpurnsky1185]

If there is a limit on the food supply you need things like mites to limit the number of ants to a sustainable amount. Otherwise the limit will be food and when that limit is hit they all starve. I would like to see some ant eating bugs or something. But it's a good start.

Intro:a random jingle My captions turned on:daaaaaab on them

[@mitchl5220]

This is just an idea but... if you added a layer of leaf litter to the bottom plateau it would provide surface area, shelter, humidity and food for prey species within your system. Then it'd be able to easy support isopods and millipedes (which I believe are more suitable prey for trapjaw ants as their mouths look powerful like they are built to tear into chitin.) Maybe then it would even be able to support roaches. These prey species will also help break down the ants garbage. Hope this helps! OH! Also remember how your last trap jaws died? Wild ants climbed into their nest and killed them all so maybe you should still apply the ant barrier around the outside of your system to stop invaders haha.

This is cool and all but it seems that with spring tales wont be enough to feed the entire colony cockroach has so many nutrients and good things for the ants but the spring tails are so small and probably very low on nutrients and the ants use a lot of energy going after such a small meals i believe this will hinder the growth of the ants

[@diegog1853]

Yeah, ants evolved to hunt bigger prey, pretty much in any ecosystem that they live. i mean... those jaws are not for hunting mites...

[@goblinsgambits196]

I think they'll have a chance. Keep in mind that they also have flies to eat, and the ants are already adapting and learning new ways of catching their prey. I'm just worried about those mites getting out of control. They don't have any predators to curb their growth.

ChaseTheStars You're comment makes no sense. I wasn't expecting anything. My point was that because this is a different Trapjaw colony, it should have it's own unique name so that it doesn't piggyback off the Jawbreakers colony. If I was a Jawbreaker, I'd be angry that another colony stole our name.

[@jsabfan4381]

but I like the name!!!!! ;-; well.... only because it remindes me of candy...

[@acrab7722]

The spring hunters

[@Corzappy]

Jeez I mean eventually he is just going to make his entire ant room into one massive habitat with all the colonies inside.

[@AntsCanada]

I have considered this!

[@mrcrabs8989]

Really that would be amazing ant Canada.

[@elysianblues]

Yeah

[@delatorrejulieann3021]

AntsCanada 1.9m! Road to 2m! 😂😂😂

[@subwaykitty683]

Try opening the door to that room

[@whatshisname677]

ITS COOL HOW YOU CULEKT ANT COLONYS

[@c4sperj4ack41]

I've watched every feed with glee, but weirdly the sight of the mites on the Ant was too much. I had to skip past it. What have I become ;D

[@ddriese]

Everyone's mad about the clickbait title and while it's frustrating, I'm more worried about the fact that he thinks because one ant caught a spring tail that the entire colony will be able to sustain off them as their only food source. It's very clear they struggle to catch them and it requires a major effort to do so. To encourage the spring tails to appear you already have to place food (e.g. watermelon) in the terrarium - at that point you might as well just drop in a cockroach and ensure they are getting the food and nutrients they need.

[@yatsunarurasuke3111]

Ghost of Yharnam Same thing that I was thinking about. I don't think that it will be enough food for them. Like "good" enough. It may be a source of food but not that great of a source. I actually thought he's going to plant some seeds. lol. At least you get the idea that the "Jawbreakers" figuratively came back from the dead. It still made sense tho, no need to fuss about it.

[@raximousprime775]

I thought the same thing, there's a reason most experiments perform the same thing multiple times, any sort of variables could have contributed, that Springdale could have a had a injured leg or have been old or something, he should have confirmed multiple catches before calling it a day. If they can't catch springtails reliably then he needs to introduce another docile species that is maybe slightly larger so the ants can catch it easier

[@jayromebabag5313]

I have been bitten by a Trapjaw Alate, specifically a queen with wings, and it felt like my finger got shot with a gun for a week. #AntLoveForever

[@AntsCanada]

OMG ME TOO! It's crazy right?! The most insane pain ever! I was trying to cup a trap-jaw queen. Big mistake!

[@watheheal8639]

Next time on AC after the fire ant challenge, let's do the trap jaw ant challenge

[@jayromebabag5313]

I was trying to put it in soil, because my friend squished her. Thanks for the heart btw😆!

[@yeetyeetpotatoskeet5263]

Where I live we don’t have trapjaw ants but we have camponotus pennysalvanicus (sorry for bad spelling I just woke up) but one of the camponotus queens bit me and they use one mandible to cut through your skin and the other to pinch you but no pain because they can’t cut deep enough.

[@theretrogamer1218]

My toe I'm sill in agony

[@tez6966]

Him: brace yourselves Me: oh crap

[@seanmiller8068]

I used to wach your channel a few years ago and I'm back

[@wolfgangjasper9336]

7:57 One of the white tigers trying to get a bit of screen time. He ain't slick

[@clicky5243]

Lol at the right

[@gracequach6769]

+Massive Damage haha

[@redlantern6669]

Let me guesses, the tank has sprung a leak

[@BaoCypher0912]

Can you somehow get a micro bug and use it to explore each of your ant colonies?

[@ttercheng]

one day in future, a nano camera can be attached to an ant's head for live streaming!

[@L5940]

An ant-sized controllable walking camera is probably crazy expensive.

[@hubertduck9177]

It would be attacked by the ants

[@projectbiology5726]

Bao Cypher it would just get constantly carried off and attacked by the ants and it would stress the colony out to have an immortal insect like thing going into their nest. It could work if it was coated in the colonies specific pheromone.

[@crisfornia5640]

Sneaky Dolphin ants attack what they smell is bad the robot would have no smell so no treat

[@glaciercrash5427]

Awww man I missed the titans

[@xswiftscoutx8667]

the sound is just like rules of survival

[@myk2459]

I just miss the dragons

[@user-pk6gc3rr2e]

Me too😢😢😢

[@sarahandrae4604]

Yeah,that was one of the first ant colony’s I heard about

[@melanieblake9448]

Rip dragons

[@cesargrullon3663]

True dat!

[@edwinajefferson1430]

Me to😢😢😢

[@dorisarlene3]

I think you should still drop a cockroach like once a week to make sure they survive

[@spineyrequiem]

I find it fascinating that they've got noticeably different personalities, some roaming about to look for springtails while others ambush near known feeding grounds. Shows they're not the automatons many assume they are.

[@physicsclasses8948]

Thanks for returning the jawbreakers. The trap-jaw ant is my favorite ant. I have the smaller species of these ants in my backyard. I love feeding them.

[@franklinbohn2915]

Please name them something else Edit: I like the name but I don't like that we named 2 colonies the same thing

[@exilley2134]

why?

[@ianhall7513]

2 days ago: "Huh, a channel about ants..." Today watching this video: "OMG LET IT BE THE TITANS, I WANT THEM TO BE ALIVE!!!"

[@spazzydog100]

Me too

[@communistpenguin4347]

same

[@genephilipvallente5909]

Same

[@patsymassia7189]

same boys.

[@vonzell9997]

ME TOO!!!

[@_jz06_]

how much u wanna bet his ants be vibing to the music of 3:51

[@creepergaming2920]

Wait whenever he gets a new colony: This will make a find addition to my collection

[@SolarusRex]

fairly miffed you claimed they came back from the dead, I thought it was another hiding colony

[@lightstarstears4932]

I don't know what it was about this episode about your ants, AC, that was different and affected me. It did just that more so than the others. I never knew the Jawbreakers. I didn't see when you first brought them in or when they died. Yet, I was still very moved by how you were able to bring a new colony back and house them in such a way. Honestly, I teared up though not to the point where the tears fell. I really enjoyed this video, AC. Thank you!

[@AntsCanada]

Thank you! Ant love forever!

[@lightstarstears4932]

You're welcome. And, yes, I agree!

[@knotsnchains6907]

NOT THE JAWBREAKERS!!!! THIS IS A NEW COLONY OF TRAP JAWS. NEW NAME!!!!! NEW NAME NEW NAME NEW NAME NEW NAME NEW NAME I agree it's nice to have Trap jaws again...

[@jamieparra4860]

All da others are doing theories XD

[@adenvu7330]

O

[@mrsaygaming5750]

HOLY THAT JAW EATER SURE DOES SHIVER ME TIMBERS!

[@legenscar_deyt4333]

Imagine giving each ant of the fire nation a name

[@yashpatil3297]

i think u should keep an eye on mites

[@zoofan9280]

yash patil they’re not deadly mites they clean the rubbish and take away the dead or dying ants

[@eggrollsoup]

Dino Fan they sucked blood from the dying ant, they can very likely attack healthy ones if their population increases

[@yashpatil3297]

Dino Fan ya I was thinking same but it's nature it can turn around 😉

[@dylanclatone6758]

"AC family, i am pleased to introduce...." *add starts* 😂

[@AlohaGamester]

@AntsCanada you are a genius my friend! The way you narrate and enguage the audience 👌 youve gained quite an impressive following understandably because instead of posting mere videos you provide a new perspective, an experience. Keep up the good work.

[@theoriginalboxing3]

In Greek mythology, Gaia from Ancient Greek Γαῖα, a poetical form of Γῆ Gē, "land" or "earth"), also spelled Gaea /ˈdʒiːə/ is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother-sometimes parthenogenic-of all life. She is the mother of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods), the Cyclopes, and the Giants; as well as of Pontus (the sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra. Birth of Gaia, Uranus, and the Titans: Hesiod's Theogony tells how, after Chaos, "wide-bosomed" Gaia (Earth) arose to be the everlasting seat of the immortals who possess Olympus above. And after Gaia came "dim Tartarus in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth", and next Eros the god of love. Hesiod goes on to say that Gaia brought forth her equal Uranus (Heaven, Sky) to "cover her on every side". Gaia also bore the Ourea (Mountains), and Pontus (Sea), "without sweet union of love" (i.e., with no father). Afterwards with Uranus, her son, she gave birth to the Titans, as Hesiod tells it: "She lay with Heaven and bore deep-swirling Oceanus, Coeus and Crius and Hyperion and Iapetus, Theia and Rhea, Themis, and Mnemosyne and gold-crowned Phoebe and lovely Tethys. After them was born Cronos (Cronus) the wily, youngest and most terrible of her children, and he hated his lusty sire." Cult Gaia was worshiped under the epithet "Anesidora", which means "giver of gifts".Other epithets were Calligeneia, Eurusternos, and Pandôros. In ancient times, Gaia was mainly worshiped alongside Demeter and as a part of the cult of Demeter and does not seem to have had a separate cult. Being a chthonic deity, black animals were sacrificed to her: [Sacrifices to the gods as witnesses of an oath:] Bring two lambs : let one be white and the other black for Gaia (Earth) and Helios (Sun). [N.B. Chthonic Gaia receives a black animal, celestial Helios a white one.]

[@diegog1853]

Previous Jaw breakers died tragically, with these new ones lets try a super experimental ant colony without food...

[@knotsnchains6907]

right? no food.. let's just not feed the captives, let's make them hunt rats for survival, when they are meant to hunt lion, bears and wolves!!! NEW NAME NEW NAME NEW NAME

[@diegog1853]

knots nchains yeah, ants evolved to hunt in groups bigger prey. I mean does jaws are not for hunting rats... And these mites are mostly exoskeleton with little "meat" inside, its like if humans were forced to eat hummingbirds out of hunger

[@knotsnchains6907]

pretty much what i mean... (those jaws are not for hunting rats... And these mites are mostly exoskeleton with little "meat" inside, its like if humans were forced to eat hummingbirds out of hunger)

[@cryofrostrs3856]

"Wild ants trying to repeat history" I died on that line

[@bluetrixhv3780]

Just when I thought that cliffhangers had finally stopped

[@vertigomoe]

When you said I am pleased to introduce to you an ad popped up I just think that’s hilarious

[@theviewer6889]

The title was kinda misleading, I thought you'd found the og black dragons as that would make the most sense based on the title.

[@Pixlfish37]

YYEEESSS! My favorite colony is back. Long live the Jawbreakers!

[@jarix8273]

I keep thinking he calls us air conditioners

[@Vickvr13]

Me too
