[@ChiwawaSama]

I'm team ladybugs and as an aphid hater, this video brought me joy, please feel free to do more aphid experiments (preferably with chances of things going horribly wrong for the aphids). I grow plants in pots on balcony, so it's not a big garden and I always get those pests infecting my plants, they quickly increase their number and that's when the ants come in and harvest them (if no mistake, I also had green aphid the ants were milking and not eating). Problem is the ants protect the aphid against the ladybugs so I end up having to fight ants with other means and bring in a ladybug larvae or two for them to eat the aphid (as the adult ladybugs will just fly away and the larvae couldn't).

[@UnderASwiftSunrise]

Yeah! #214 like! Maybe the ants needed protein instead of carbs to build muscles so they can drag the queen around.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yeah they probably indeed need proteins to feed the larvae 😅

[@FriendlyKat]

Fun fact: Aphids produce clones of themselves. Also I want to know what is in between the ants milking the aphids and a meteor hitting and killing us all. LOL! You’re so funny!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

True! they have to produce males to not make clones . The ants killing all the aphids is somewhere in between 😂

[@FriendlyKat]

@@HomemadeEcosystems I believe Aphids are some of the fewest species of animals that can reproduce asexually AND sexually.

[@TuckFwitter]

[@Maya-it8cd]

Fucked up fact: aphids are born pregnant! Because of the cloning thing. They are basically built to multiply really, really fast.

[@jeanshortswag]

It's nice to see a video series about something like this where it's also a learning experience for the content creator. It makes for a far more entertaining time

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yeah every video is a learning experience for me 😅

[@Alejandroskar0206]

Myrmecophilous aphids are usually dark, the ones you caught are green and not related to ants lol. Try to find some dark aphids around a colony of lasius niger to make sure they are compatible. good video, I like your humor haha. please keep documenting your colony of this ant farm :D

[@Arkenge85]

I can't believe you have made me watch part 1 and 2. And can't believe you have interested me into getting my own terrarium with ants. Good job man!

[@phoenix1453]

[@KageTheDanish]

I never thought watching a video about an ant colony could be this hilarious. Keep up the amazing work!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thanks ! I will try !

[@antgrowth899]

I recommend keeping big headed ants(genus pheidole generally) because they are very active, grow fast, have majors, and can swarm things or carpenter ants (genus camponotus) because they are big and easy to watch, but their colonies grow slow. Both are really fun to keep in my opinion though

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Sounds cool!

I dont know how much you checked the fly but flies can catch lots of diseases and things and they can carry some insecticidal things so I hope its doesnt cause anything bad

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I check them pretty good! There are a lot of black garden ant colonies in my garden that eat flies naturaly. Als I only take flies that have a natural flight pattern. Flies that have come in contact with insecticides fly weird. I also already had some feeder insects that carried parasites so I don't trust those completely either. So the ants should be fine 😁
