[@officialrileyt]

@@jackson-wadden I think it was the one called "my fire ants have started to plan an escape" or something, it was definitely alot older than 5 years ago

[@jackson-wadden]

@@officialrileyt mine was Ant War: Battle of the three armies. It was November, 2017. I was just a kid. I rememeber how interested I was in ants. I was thrilled that I found Antscanada. After I watched that video, I watched alot of the previous videos, and I have been watching them every week ever since!

New fear unlocked: Ants eating eyeballs

[@jhanner80]

A time lapse of the ants covering the eyes would have been awesome!

[@missbutterfly2904]

Funnily enough, I had done Biology at school, and had worked on eyeballs. They are basically jelly encasings filled with a liquid substance. Honestly didn’t expected the ants to be able to avoid all that mess, with all the eye juices. Smart gals

[@TheSilverShadow17]

Aren't they also muscle as well?

[@missbutterfly2904]

@TheSilverShadow17 yes. There is a bit of muscle that allows the pupil to shrink and expand when in contact with more or less light. Though I'm not one hundred percent sure, been a while now since I've done it. So if that's wrong, blame my memory :>

[@samosborne4403]

Soft, succulent eye balls 😂 Full of protein and liquids for any ant colony. Great job with the channel mate, keep it up ✌️

[@bobombnik1817]

Aside from the obvious effort and care that went into making the environment, and raising the ants to a state of stability, this has to be a massive amount of work to maintain. Hats off to you sir.

[@komikbookgeek]

[@schlawa]

I remember we had to dissect these cow-eyeballs in around the 8th grade in Germany when we discussed the eye in natural science class. You could opt out if you were sensitive, but I did it and found it pretty interesting to see all the layers that we discussed before in theory for myself.

[@wofhydra_7992]

Same!! It's pretty cool seeing them in person

[@AIrfan-cz2kt]

I wish my school had that kind of experiments. All we had was frogs and fishes

[@sophiebell4758]

Another German, yes we did that too, was pretty cool! And a pig Heart too! XD and i also dissected a squid once, but Not in regular biology, it was an extra Curricular (AG)

[@Raevahn]

I got extremely lucky with my schools (especially in a kinda rural area of the US), since I got to dissect an entire salmon in 5th grade: piglets and some eyes that I don't remember in 7th grade: some kittens, more eyes, frogs, and some other things that I can't recall in 8th grade; All in all, I found the eyes and the hearts the most intriguing because of how complex they were, which got elevated in 8th grade when we got to look at the cones in an eye under a microscope

[@amaryillcs2426]

The backs of cow eyes are really pretty!! I don't remember what it's called but it kinda looks opalescent and shimmery blue-green I took medical science classes in high school where we dissected different animal parts like sheep liver and kidneys

Once mating flight happens you can use the new ant queens to replace the crimson knights once their queen dies.

[@bioinvasion_]

@@davedunks4647 But after that he caught more termite royal pairs (~20) and put them together. He was founding that mega colony and since then he hasn't mentioned them again (unless he did in the middle of one of his few videos I haven't watched

[@krysmun]

he showed us some termite fungus spores in his fridge when he got the eyeballs out, so maybe he's still trying again? hopefully he's working on a cooler area setup for them too. they don't like the hot temps that the ants prefer. and they even prefer to dig their own ventilation holes too, which means a mostly enclosed glass setup might not work out.

It's a little bit disappointing to not get to see the ants burrow into the eyeballs, but you know what would be almost just as inteesting to watch? If you could do a timelapse video of the ants burying a meal item, with a timer on the side measuring how long it takes for them to completely bury their quarry. ;)

[@ninofolkerts]

Eye ballss at the cornea have multiple layers. One of them is the lens wich us quite thick. In the middle is the vitreous body. It is very slimy and wet. Look it up on the internet it is very interesting. Your eye is made out of 4 different main layers.

[@ants_matt]

Wow, i love this species more and more, nice video as always ;)

[@JackRook]

Okay but your empty fridge says a lot about how much you need to go out

[@Lord_Daeman]

As an idea for the inevitable nuptial flight, maybe you could make a large mesh cage to surround the setup and it would catch any queens that fly out? Assuming that the colony is an invasive one that you don't want escaping the ant room either, or if you just want to be sure that they don't make any homes outside the setup if they are somehow able to impregnate within the colony (I don't know much about that.)
