Flying Fire Ant Queens Broke Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

A swarm of fire ants had a nuptial flight in my home. The Crimson Knights, my ravenous pet fire ant colony living on their open-concept, volcanic island ant farm, called Volcania, decided to spontaneously launch a nuptial flight, i.e. an annual ant breeding event. Usually captive ant colonies don't have nuptial flights indoors, but this fire ant colony unexpectedly did, and the escaped fire ant queens and males were everywhere. What was worse was that a pregnant queen ant may have gotten into my giant ecosystem vivarium, Pantdora, which if so, would be disasterous for my ecosystem project. But I had a wicked solution! Hope you enjoy this Season 2, Episode 12 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Mantises have a VERY long gestation period, anywhere from 6-18 months. They aren't laying eggs perse, but goop that will start forming when the weather is right. It's their method for dodging winter.

Hey dude! just an idea, but maybe, if it's possible, you could add some microphones inside the vivarium. The added sound-effect really put me out of the immersion, making the real spectacle of mother nature, sound and feel more like a cartoon. I understand that there needs to be added sound because otherwise the footage is silent, hence the idea of adding microphones inside, so we can also hear whats happening, not just see.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

I'd imagine that it's pretty quiet inside the vivarium. The only real noise makers are the crickets. The various insects moving about would be nearly silent, the caiman isn't really prone to vocalizing, the lizards don't seem to be very talkative, and there's no birds (yet).

Can we witness the process of a mantis laying an egg sack? I think that would be so cool!!

First, yes the design of the eyes for the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park were 1-1 modeled after crocodile eyes. Second, and on the same note, I would be very careful about that baby caiman. Its small now, but in a few months it will have already doubled in size, in a year it’ll be too big for Pantdora and will have already eaten the sunskinks and or died of starvation as none of the available prey can properly sustain it.

You might have missed it, but he has a whole another setup/pond/enclosure for the caiman when it gets bigger.

8:16 No, the designers were inspired by the deinonychus which wasn't a velociraptor in the first place. It had nothing to do with crocodilians

The “accidental leaving the vivarium open” think kinda running its course imo

[@yzaraine]

thank you for sharing these rarely seen events in the ant world with us! I can hear the excitement in your voice while the weaver ant queens built thwir nest. That was such a touching moment, I'm rooting for this colony to thrive in the canopy vivarium ❤

[@AntsCanada]

You are so welcome!

The open air fire ant colony plot arc comes to its natural end

Fun fact: if you tap it 13 times, KZbin thinks you have Parkinson's. But it still likes. If you tap it 275 times, your phone starts leaking from the charge port.

I get that you want to keep the "open" concept going for you fire ant vivariam but you need to make a plexiglass cover large enough to contain the fire ants in that vivarium to keep them from doing their flights ouside of their home. You only need to utilise the lid until after they are all done flying. Then you can remove the lid and save it for the next time they get ready to fly.
