My New CRAZY Ants Inside a Wakooshi Saturn Nest!🔥🔥🔥

[@EstheticAnts]

Update: The colony now has its first pupea!

[@CamponicoAnts]

Omg so jelly!! I absolutely love the saturn nests!! i really need to order one... Great video!

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man! You do!!!

[@BPM-cr9wd]

nice video I live in Greece and they are all around the place especially when they have nuptial flights I didn’t know their so expensive when I see queens I just let them go and search for other queens this year I’m 100% going to catch some

[@EstheticAnts]

yes you should!

[@FloridaAnting]

it feels so good when you see a huge swarm of queens randomly!

[@Tri-Ant]

Really good video! Congratulations on the 4000 Subscribers!🐜😉

[@anter6546]

You mean 4000😉

[@Tri-Ant]

@@anter6546 Oh, right 😅😅

[@angelosvass1001]

I live in Athens, Greece and today I saw a large lepisiota colony move some brood to a new place in my yard and I was wondering when they fly, do you know when their nuptial flights are? are happening already?

[@EstheticAnts]

I have no idea!

[@antsnetherlands20]

Queens of Lepisiota frauenfeldi for example are born brachypterous; with short wings unable to fly. Mating takes places inside nests by both outbreeding males from other colonies but also by inbreeding. Other bigger Lepisiota such as Lepisiota nigra have normal nuptial flights during June-July.

Set up looks great now it is ocupied, and you did'nt drop the hex once! lol I see you found what the clip was for 😉 Great vid' 👍

[@EstheticAnts]

thanks hehe!

[@antsnetherlands20]

625 euro?! What kind of math did you do to calculate such a ridiculous price lol. They are very common where they exist natively, which is throughout the Balkans and parts of western Asia. In Greece they are abundant. Colonies with many hundreds of queens strong, in some cases even 1000 queens per colony can be exceeded. I find many 200+ queen colonies every holiday in Croatia and it just takes a rock to flip and a few minutes to aspirate them into a bottle. I refuse to believe 25Q are worth more than 40 euro total 😂

[@williambannister1446]

This colony is looking great I would love to get one in the future

[@manuelh.7254]

With a normal monogynous Antspecies it would be very dangerous to move the Colony like that... but with so much Queens inside the Colony it shouldn't be a problem.

[@EstheticAnts]

Nah its fine to move them like that

[@mitchels.dieren]

Ik vind dit tot nu toe de beste video van jou en dat is door de prijs of zeldzaamheid van de mieren maar het was gewoon geweldige content goed gedaan 👏

[@EstheticAnts]

Dankjewel kerel!!

[@silasfoulon]

Wauw what a great video and colony!

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@StillOofing1]

Im waiting :)

[@EstheticAnts]

Good!

[@quentinapplefish]

Nice video , Nice colony ! I'm planning on buying this nest, but wonder if the plastic tubes can/should be replaced by glass tubes, do you have any problem of visibility scratches, etc ? Not sure the tubes are supposed to be manipulated or cleaned very often though !

[@4eal_boyyt654]

LETSS GOO. EA 🥳 a new ant species and if I can ask what is a good 3D printer for not that much money !

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man! Ender 3v2 is pretty decent.

[@bezza9851]

As I am knew to ant keeping would be possible to cover some of the tubes without affecting the fit as I do like the look of the ant nest

[@jamesjanef8352]

do u know if u can keep messor structor in the saturn. My main concern is that messor ants are not great at climbing

[@EstheticAnts]

You can without an issue

[@christhegreek6812]

i live in greece and there is a colony of these ants in my back yard

[@EstheticAnts]

Ohhh cool!

[@bluefrogandfriends7054]

Super gaaf nest! Ik zou graag wat willen vragen. Wakooshi zit in de uk, moest u veel extra kosten betalen? Ik wil ook graag daar bestellen, maar ben bang voor de extra kosten, ik hoor het graag van u

[@EstheticAnts]

ja idd extra kosten

[@louis-philippearnhem6959]

Goeie vraag. Met Brexit is het inderdaad onzeker wat deze douanekosten zijn. Heb onlangs voor de eerste keer iets besteld en in de chat vertelde Wakooshi me dat er kans was op 9€ extra voor België. Dat is zo’n 10% van mijn bestelling. Nog eens het bewijs dat de EU een zeer goede zaak is. Ik ben benieuwd naar het bedrag dat ik zal moeten betalen.

[@ldnssunga4453]

There are 2 Ant species very related to this species, anelopis gracilipes yellow crazy ants and paratrechina longhicornis black crazy ants

[@hendrolie1]

very true

[@gordonc2792]

Congratulations on your great video This is a very interesting species Can we get these nests in Australia Thanks again

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks man! I don't think you can sadly.

[@FamTech.]

Hi i love your video's ceep going!

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks!

[@juanc.torres3132]

And the light / lack of darkness?

[@EstheticAnts]

Most ants don't care about light or dark.

[@louis-philippearnhem6959]

Good question I wondered myself how this worked. So I could also keep Lasius niger without covering the nest? I’m sorry, am a beginner 😔

[@antsandpets]

Cool, I best this nest will be perfect for them 👍

[@EstheticAnts]

Hmm test tubes are not the best for this species but it works!

[@antsandpets]

@@EstheticAnts true, but it will be easy to expand their nesting space fro when the colony starts to pick up the pace on egg production

[@eldiegumagay4809]

I love it

[@zynifi]

Haha na de eerste paar seconden wist ik al meteen dat je Nederlands was

[@EstheticAnts]

lol

[@r0giss.]

Who else is waiting?

[@darrenhurrell]

Doesn’t the lack of darkness make this unsuitable for certain species?

[@brianbetts5637]

double stacked commercials?? nope never coming back.

[@EstheticAnts]

lol every video has that.

[@brianbetts5637]

@@EstheticAnts Its nothing personal, I just refuse to go to channels that pump out double adds in videos, I have several people I follow that have adds that don't do that. Maybe pressure You tube to stop that shit so you don't lose viewers. One content creator wont be enough, but if you all complain then maybe. Till then good luck.

[@VilleAbr]

@@brianbetts5637 Are you serious?

tf creators cant choose what ads they want on their videos

Are the wakooshi tubing entrances the same size as your tubjng?

no
