Turns out the big pupae is not a soldier but a princess. All hail princess Bob! There is now a winged ant running around in the colony. There is a short video of her on patreon (free post so you just have to join as a free member to see it) for more support: patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems

[@Kit_Sun]

Welcome, your Bobness. 👑 This video made me hungry, btw.

[@Cockrocket9000]

I just found your channel about a week ago and got unreasonably excited to see it's been confirmed a queen lol. Regardless of what happens with her I hope you share an update with us! I binged and love all of your videos but your ant ones are my favorite so far (:

[@QuekPengFungBenjaminAcis]

The big pupa in 1:25 is actually becoming a queen. It's probably an indicator that your ant colony is doing too well. In the wild, new queens would usually leave the parent colony to mate and start new colonies. However, the pupa over here would just become an adult and just die, since it serves no purpose in the parent colony.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

True! I have a virgin queen running around in the nest

[@DavidSpiders]

[@gugaxd8568]

The Pupae at the start of the video looks like a Princess to me! I might be wrong but that is definitely something i didn't know could happen that quickly.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yeah would be very fast, I think she is a very big major but not sure because it is about the size of the queen

[@gugaxd8568]

@@HomemadeEcosystems Im saying that I think its a princess because of its huge thorax, majors usually dont have dense thoraxes like that

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

@@gugaxd8568 ow, no clue what I'm supposed to do if it turns out to be a princess. She will have wings right if that is the case?

[@gugaxd8568]

@@HomemadeEcosystems Yeah, if that is the case she will have wings. There a lot of things that can happen, here are some possibilities: - the princess gives up on trying to mate and becomes a "worker queen" and will have the same job as a worker ant; - the princess will try to simulate a flight in your room (probably wont happen); - or the princess will just die without doing anything.

[@gugaxd8568]

Don't worry, about doing something, they are smart creatures and will figure it out themselves 🤣

wow that messor pupa was huge! i think (due to the thorax) it could be an alate, this would be cool but it is still very unlikley due to colony size, ive just never seen a worker or pupa with that big of a thorax, not even a major

Yep it is an alate! Someone else commented that it might be a princess and I went to check and saw a big ant with wings

Love this guys video and his commentary it’s 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@robbegeenen1280]

hi, at 1:03 those seeds stored in that nest seem to be the trash-pile of your colony. All seeds look opened and eaten already. When a colony is given a too big nest they may use some chambers as garbage rooms.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Hi, that is possible but I don't think so, they store their dead workers and other trash at a corner of the arena but it is possible that they have 2 trash piles. I will have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't mold. Thanks!

[@Fillthymonkey]

The pupa at the start is a virgin Queen ant and its the time of the year to go Queen ant hunting

You are right! I've got an ant with wings running around now

Always keen to see a new vid from you. Hello from Australia! 👀🇦🇺

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Hi back!

[@NorthernAnts24]

Harvester ants dont need sugars, their diets 75% seeds and the rest is protein from bugs, they need a constant supply of fresh water as they chew up the seeds and mix it with water to make a paste type substance we call “ant bread” which they then feed to the colony. Nice video btw 👍🏻

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yeah I know but it seems they like it when I give them some extra sugar water

[@NorthernAnts24]

@@HomemadeEcosystems thats good then :) i hope my comment never came across in a negative manner, that wasnt my intentions i wasnt trying to criticise or say your wrong etc it was just a genuine information comment lol iv been really enjoying your videos and i like your dry humour 😂 keep em coming! I tried to offer my harvesters sugar waters once or twice and they showed no interest in it, only stuck garbage to it 😂

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

@@NorthernAnts24 Don't worry, I didn't take it as a negative comment ! I appreciate comments like this, always trying to learn 😁 I just figured it won't harm them if I provide them with extra sugar. Glad you like the videos!

That one huge pupa might be a super major. Super majors are even bigger than a "solider" or major.

[@melinda1935]

I will sleep soundly now after hearing the commentary with that beautiful tone of voice ❤

[@mason39352]

A few ant jokes: Ants always know the way home, they have a great sense of direct-ant. Ants don’t like loud music, it’s too disson-ant. In ant colonies, gossip travels fast - it’s a game of teleph-ant. Ants don’t like candy stores, they find them too sweet. 6. Ants don’t get lost at sea, they’re excellent navig-ants.

[@Durrtyboy]

love ur videos bro keep it up always happy to see them

[@DavidSpiders]

As you can see, for colony 2 the setup couldnt be better, but for the other 2 colonies, its just a too big space, they dont need that much, like colony 1 need one of the nesting space's 1/3, that would be enough, but do what you want, just trying to help

[@kingofthend]
