Meet My Colony of Texas BULLET ANTS- Three Queen Neoponera villosa!

[@normaalison]

I enjoy your clips on Snapchat, so glad you are building a channel here. Can't wait to see more

[@schroederb2007]

Really neat! Saw your Snapchat in the discover thing. Videos are interesting, I like seeing the structures they live in! The music was a little distracting but keep the videos coming!

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Thanks for the supportive words! Music came out a bit louder than expected but I’ll have that fixed in future videos

[@fuccinshit]

@@UrbanOrganisms Do you cut the wings off the queen

[@UrbanOrganisms]

@@fuccinshit no, I would never do that they break them off themselves

[@EddVCR]

It’s really adorable how the ants gently and lovingly touch the eggs with their antennae. Your observation of a worker any laying eggs is also very fascinating!

[@iceboxoffice3721]

An Absolutely beautiful colony! I'm so jealous!

[@stijncroon9287]

a lot of ant species have workers that lay unfurtelized eggs to feed to the queen they´re really high in protein and the queen loves them

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Yeah, the interesting thing here though is that I didn’t see them being fed to the queen, and it’s possible that the workers laying eggs here could actually be fertilized.

[@stijncroon9287]

@@UrbanOrganisms cool

[@ratnadevi9643]

@@UrbanOrganismsOMG worker laying an fertilized egg?!??!! Never heard about it.

[@pacedotato]

Try and turn the music down a little so we can hear you better but other than that keep the content coming!!!

[@basrengangetch.2042]

Nice vid man! The music is a bit loud though :D

[@tukobuko0361]

I've seen every episode on ur snapchat thing and i don't even care that i'm rewatching this stuff

[@cityants1166]

Ponerinae queens lay a surprising amount of eggs! My 1 q Ponera p. Colony got about 50 eggs in 1 week

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Wow! I totally wasn’t expecting this, especially since it took over a month until they began laying

[@cityants1166]

@@UrbanOrganisms primitive ants are so cool!

[@jameslang5166]

More videos please!

[@EddVCR]

I want to see care guides for various ant species!

[@TacticalHandleGaming]

Look at all that forbidden rice.

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Ant caviar

[@hermanbarrientos8654]

Hey, how’s it going like everybody says I love watching your videos on snap that’s what got me into starting my first ant colony was just wondering, where do you get your supplies like the little trays and your nectar I would love to use that stuff myself?

[@robertdeflora4]

This is a great Video.. Music is kinda of distracting. However awesome species. I have been wanting to raise some of these. They are amazing and would be super kewl watch and study. There is not a whole lot of information on them that I have found so I am happy that I have found your channel.

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Thank you! Yeah the music came out a bit louder than expected on this one, will be sure to fix that in the future. I'm by no means an expert on this species but if there are any specific questions you have let me know.

[@cityants1166]

Great video!

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Thanks!

[@lafourmisauvage]

Hi, I'm looking for information on the species. I would like to know the maximum size of the colony in mature size.. do you have an idea?

[@jaysonbuentipo7785]

Ants canada : 2000000000

[@NathansWildLife]

We need more videos

[@californiaantkeeper]

[@UrbanOrganisms]

[@BryanLew88]

Very cool!

[@UrbanOrganisms]

thank you!

[@downsouthantkeeper3802]

That’s cool

[@fghcfjh8978]

Nice you had not shown these in snapchat

[@UrbanOrganisms]

I have one video on them from a couple weeks ago! Lots of colonies I still haven’t revealed yet though 😉

[@heystobit-jin8021]

Wow I’ve never seen a bullet ant queen before

[@michellesidas7166]

How did you get ahold of em?

[@aussieantkeeping2825]

very cool looking ant

[@UrbanOrganisms]

I love their golden color

[@ratnadevi9643]

Worker can lay eggs ?!?! HOLY

[@loganj521]

I am going to get some of these ants do you have any recommendations to where I can buy a nice formicarium.

[@nosega1965]

impressive !!!!

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Yes definitely, this is one of my favorite colonies

[@bradenchristensen5105]

Anyone know if there’s specific parts of Texas where these ants are? I can never seem to find any. And what time of the year is their numptial flight?

[@mlt1882]

Saw you on snap! But what will happen if you put those ants together with yellow ants (with red abdomen) in the same cage? It would be interesting

[@thehorde9798]

Where are you located

[@Farts2023]

Came from snapchat

[@antonioc5062]

How does this ant sting stack up to Paraponera clavata?

[@joebothehobo5895]

Imagine they get a big colony and they break out

[@BitcoinRenegade]

I think they are Gammergates

[@marijnnn4992]

Pls make more vids

[@wrongbuton]

I would never keep bullet ants, I would be too terrified!

[@UrbanOrganisms]

They broke out once at the beginning, thankfully no one got stung. They really do make your heart race though 😅

[@beauhouldsworth9266]

You might wanna talk to antscannda channel 😂

[@leah.the.swiftie.13]

Are you sure there not a spider? They have 8 legs/arms

Ant Canada hads so mare eggs

[@actsismmljcorrectlyobeyed6190]

The Mario music was pretty loud.

[@myrmepropagandist]

oh hell no... they are pretty but scary.

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Handling these makes my heart race 😂. Thankfully now that they’re all settled in the nest I have nothing to worry about

[@SergioCM_]

1:02 minute: Collected colony? So, did you destroy a natural nest?????????

[@fredrikmagnusson6469]

would be better without the music

[@yahirmedina8033]

Maybe cut down on the music bro

[@UrbanOrganisms]

Yeah sorry about that, came out louder than expected but I’ll be sure to fix that in future vids!

[@nakkonakko6208]
