My Pet Ants Returned From The Dead

[@tessastevens8493]

I am a preschool teacher who currently has 13 five year olds addicted to your show because we decided during bug month at the school they wanted to learn about ants. (Ive been a 2 year AC family member and MAY have swayed the vote to say ants) Twice a week we watch a new AC video to learn how ants live and learn about the different kinds of ants. We as a class just wanted to thank you for such informative videos. My farm of Black Garden Ants love the classroom. They're going on a year now and have become our class mascot. We are the Ant room! Thank you for all that you do and insipring my class to be little creature lovers :)

Are you sure the springtails will provide enough sustenance for the Jawbreakers? I mean, they are hard to catch, and they aren’t that big...

[@AntsCanada]

Oh, I forgot to mention that this species of trap-jaws eats springtails in the wild.

[@44BlueFoxes]

I agree. And if you're eating the critters that clean your garbage.... who's cleaning your garbage? I mean once one ant gets good at catching springtails, they should theoretically be able to share the 'knowledge' of how best to do it, around the entire colony but like you say, I don't think there's enough sustenance there. They might need top-ups to their food supply from an external source.

[@subswithoutvideos-tl5yf]

[@adamryanvillanueva4175]

[@meiru2453]

Actually, I'm more worried that eventually the number of ants will be significantly higher than the number of spring cleaners. Unlike in the wild, where the spring cleaners have an unlimited area to live, here in the ant terrarium, they're basically put on the silver plate for the ants. So to speak, I think they'll be overpowered and devoured in near future.

I do like the self-sustained concept but I doubt springtails and flies are enough to keep the colony fed.

[@ghoulishtheories7979]

That’s what I was thinking. They’re so small, and for a colony of 100, yeah I don’t know. I’m also not to keen on those mites being in there. The fact that he caught two older ants already getting devoured by them kind of worries me of the colony’s survival.

[@cooperolm9687]

Yeah, wild ants are sustained on a variety of prey of all sizes as well as carrion, some tiny springtails aren't going to cut it. This isn't natural for them, it's a slow starvation.

[@cooperolm9687]

The mites thing sounded like he was just irresponsible mixing things from between colonies and accidentally introduced mites, then tried to play it off like it was on purpose. I'm bummed about it, but I doubt this colony is long for this world :(

[@mariorossi9580]

I would have added isopods, roaches and other insects some weeks BEFORE the introduction of the colony, so that some other kinds of prey could florish during that period of time. I don't even know if the diet of these ants is springtales-based in nature. This is a big mistake for me.

[@jazionpurnsky1185]

If there is a limit on the food supply you need things like mites to limit the number of ants to a sustainable amount. Otherwise the limit will be food and when that limit is hit they all starve. I would like to see some ant eating bugs or something. But it's a good start.

[@KitsunenoHibi]

The wild flies should be a decent supplement. They would be eating a variety of things, and come in en masse to the Ant Room.

[@fumixlps]

Jaw breakers will only eat small foods cause they are very careful. Watch a video on the old jawbreakers, they would only take cockroach babies or half a cockroach baby. I might be wrong though.

[@migueldeclercq3883]

The wild flies are the worst supplement possible. Flies are one of those insects that can ingest insecticides and their bodies store it, they don't poop it out or anything. So if you want to kill your ant colony, it's a perfect food source for sure, they're like little time bombs. I totally agree that the springtails will not do. He needs to add another kind of insect colony in there or he needs to feed them as usual.

[@fumixlps]

A Very Private Life yeah cause they could’ve been sprayed with some bug spray before they reached the ants.

[@mitchl5220]

This is just an idea but... if you added a layer of leaf litter to the bottom plateau it would provide surface area, shelter, humidity and food for prey species within your system. Then it'd be able to easy support isopods and millipedes (which I believe are more suitable prey for trapjaw ants as their mouths look powerful like they are built to tear into chitin.) Maybe then it would even be able to support roaches. These prey species will also help break down the ants garbage. Hope this helps! OH! Also remember how your last trap jaws died? Wild ants climbed into their nest and killed them all so maybe you should still apply the ant barrier around the outside of your system to stop invaders haha.

[@cristina1898]

yeah he mentioned he put some kind of chalk I think to fend against invading ants

[@aidantully964]

That's a great idea!

[@TheBioExplorer]

Yep... but that's why he's applied diatomaceous earth around the outside of the habitat. Good input on the leaf litter though... some small wood chips too as they will last a little longer.

[@garrettdark5668]

The energy the jawbreakers are expending trying to catch the springtails and failing seems to be more than the energy they get back from a few successful catches. Maybe he should add a bigger feeder "cattle" for them. Those big jaws are probably more suited for catching bigger prey anyways.

[@knotsnchains6907]

NEW NAME NEW NAME NEW NAME

[@LtGameboy]

based on my experience with self sufficient ecosystems, also known as ecospheres, the trap-jaw ants will not have enough food to support their colony without supplement. There is not enough space for a sufficient amount of spring tails to thrive in this system.

[@TheLocust911]

Especially with the amount of effort that goes into catching every tiny spring tail

[@isaiahvaiza5662]

LtGameboy ya i was thinking the same

[@tckteamcoolkats2924]

LtGameboy they’ll get better at catching the springtails as time goes on and springtails reproduce super fast so their will always be s food source for them

[@LtGameboy]

TeamCoolKats YT That's not really the problem The problem is more that the size of the container is too small for a sufficient amount of spring-tails to live in there, and the ants will starve, not because they can't catch the spring-tails, but because there are too few spring tails to feed the ants.

[@MelkiorMonster]

I was thinking the same. Its kind of like setting up lions to hunt vultures, only in minature. The springtails work at breaking things down, as the clean up crew. They get plucked up here and there yes, but I don't quite thing that's the proper niche the fill as primary feeders for predatory species. (Usually would be ignored mostly as predators will mostly recognise them as cleanup crew unless the pred is desperate.) Basically the amount of work needed to hunt the springtail may outweigh the output from the tiny meal. That's why they jump at the chance to grab those juicy flies when they fall in. I think tossing some other feeders in once in a while would highly benefit this colony, they may skirt by otherwise but never really be prolific as say the golden empire.

It takes a while to get a colony big enough to move into a setup, and termites have specific requirements. He'd also have to figure out how to observe them, as termites avoid light and some species never leave their nest. Dark and humid is the thing to keep them. Pretty sure it'll be a while before we hear from the termites.

[@ddriese]

Everyone's mad about the clickbait title and while it's frustrating, I'm more worried about the fact that he thinks because one ant caught a spring tail that the entire colony will be able to sustain off them as their only food source. It's very clear they struggle to catch them and it requires a major effort to do so. To encourage the spring tails to appear you already have to place food (e.g. watermelon) in the terrarium - at that point you might as well just drop in a cockroach and ensure they are getting the food and nutrients they need.

[@yatsunarurasuke3111]

Ghost of Yharnam Same thing that I was thinking about. I don't think that it will be enough food for them. Like "good" enough. It may be a source of food but not that great of a source.

[@raximousprime775]

I thought the same thing, there's a reason most experiments perform the same thing multiple times, any sort of variables could have contributed, that Springdale could have a had a injured leg or have been old or something, he should have confirmed multiple catches before calling it a day. If they can't catch springtails reliably then he needs to introduce another docile species that is maybe slightly larger so the ants can catch it easier

Its a beautiful world we live in! Ant love forever!!

Are springtails really enough to sustain a whole colony? I know it's been five years and no one will read this comment! I've been working my way through the Complete History playlist, and 5 years have passed since ac built this terrarium. My thoughts through the second half of this video were full of .... don't they need more???? Omg! Can't wait to see how they did

[@Maycey-c2l]

So true

[@theviewer6889]

The title was kinda misleading, I thought you'd found the og black dragons as that would make the most sense based on the title.

[@igris6128]

sprintails won't be enough to sustain a colony of 100.

[@mumim785]

Igris promblem is it did

[@JrodsJourneys]

Never quit posting videos Ants Canada! You’ve helped me through a lot of hard ships by simply relaxing to your surprisingly therapeutic ant videos, on top of that, I’ve learned so much about ants from you and have learned to respect them as the wonderful insects they are.

[@thearchongamer6697]

10:19 Actually some insects can come back to life without just being a husk controlled by a parasite

[@stopclogg3902]

Which ones

[@thearchongamer6697]

Dragon Knight Uki sorry I’m replying late but I actually don’t know all of the insects that can do this only one, a yellow jacket, I learned that they can come back to life when I was in first grade, I got stung by one and because in school we were doing a project about bugs we kept the dead thing in a container thing, when we went to glue it to the board the next day the yellow jacket started flying while we were glueing it the board.

knots nchains THEY CAME BACK TO LIFE

[@knotsnchains6907]

no they did not listen to the video, Mikey got this colony from his friend. At 1:20 he says that he "will explain how he " (I )" managed to "obtain" this colony (in a bit... )" @ 1:40 he says that we lost our ants to "Wild Black Crazy Ants" @5:22 he says ants moving in... why move in if you are already there? @ 10 mins he explains they came from a friend. so you see they are not " Back from the dead" Or "returned from the dead" ; they are a new colony. A New Colony that deserve a new name...

[@knotsnchains6907]

should we vote? there are 1.9 M of us...

[@runawaycooki379]

knots nchains Nope, even though thy aren’t the same- I think they should have the same name.

[@dwhjr6412]

oh it’s a different colony

[@yashpatil3297]

i think u should keep an eye on mites

[@zoofan9280]

yash patil they’re not deadly mites they clean the rubbish and take away the dead or dying ants

[@Tatusiek_1]

Dino Fan they sucked blood from the dying ant, they can very likely attack healthy ones if their population increases

[@yashpatil3297]

Dino Fan ya I was thinking same but it's nature it can turn around 😉

[@c4sperj4ack41]

I've watched every feed with glee, but weirdly the sight of the mites on the Ant was too much. I had to skip past it. What have I become ;D

[@youarenowblocked8367]

[@killlog-kb3kd]

Please get new ant colonies based off of the dead/gone ones. They won't be the same but will be welcome. Also in the new colonies containers if you get them make a memorial to the original colonies.

[@haydid]

Brock J memorial? That's a great idea imo. If only you get more likes :(

[@killlog-kb3kd]

Hadid Harahap I wasn't expecting replies so soon lol and thanks. It seems to be growing somewhat faster and the more likes more people should see it. If enough people like it he might see it. And maybe like a skeleton has or something for the trap hard and like a small Greek statue for the titans. (Edit) Skeleton jaw for jawbreakers, a small pyramid for the tomb raiders, and like a dragon figure or fake dragon skull for the black dragons.

[@andreahooe9784]

[@brandiquesenberry2292]

AntsCanada gawd FLOOD DID THE FIRE NATION DROWN EVEN WITH THIER WATER SURVIVABILITY?

[@Iaraparka]

Yea I don't think it's a good idea to let them feed with such a small prey. And you should have introduced the prey long before the ants came in so they would have time to settle in and actually start breeding. Also you definitely should add more prey, different kinds. These ants will soon hunt them off completely, they will need way too much of them. Of course, you can always add more springcleaners, but with the same effort you could just drop in some cocroaches and mealworms. It's the same effort but it's much easier and better for the ants, than using way too much energy to catch one bug that isn't really worth it. Most big predators wouldn't bother with a prey too small as the energy they will get from eating it isn't worth the energy they used to catch it. The mites, I see some complain that it most likely was an accident on your part and you tried to play it off that it was intentional. I don't know, it could be, but mites also could work as population control. You said they only hunt for the weak and sick and old, right? If this is true, I wouldn't worry for the healthy ants. But there are alot of other things that do make me worry.

[@robertreid5297]

I’m saying this on ac account this is a very early colony so it will probably get some more things like that. I’m just saying this on ac account

[@geceju_hibiki]

Was mites really a good idea??? :/

[@AntsCanada]

Mites can be good for a system. They're detritivores, but if the habitat becomes too hostile, they will transform to a phoretic life stage and stick harmlessly to the ants. We should beware of the truly parasitic mites which suck the ants' blood. I haven't seen them here.

[@killlog-kb3kd]

AntsCanada I already posted something about this but I wanted to make sure you saw it. Can you get new ant colonies based off the dead/gone ones? If you do get the new colonies can you put in memorials for the original colonies? I think a lot of people would like to see them back. Thanks if you do!

[@kintheknigh80]

AntsCanada but,why do i see the mites as a peresitic mite?

[@Ghosty.21]

"If" they don't hurt the Queen they should be fine. The fact they attacked living ants is what would make me nervous but i don't raise ant.

[@lpscutecollie3932]

I DON'T think they are a good idea but It's his ant farm so let's not do anything else with that.

[@diegog1853]

knots nchains yeah, ants evolved to hunt in groups bigger prey. I mean does jaws are not for hunting rats... And these mites are mostly exoskeleton with little "meat" inside, its like if humans were forced to eat hummingbirds out of hunger

[@knotsnchains6907]

pretty much what i mean... (those jaws are not for hunting rats... And these mites are mostly exoskeleton with little "meat" inside, its like if humans were forced to eat hummingbirds out of hunger)

[@wutmagna7222]

Let these new trapjaw ants be known as the Neo-Jawbreakers (or something of that extent), as to diferentiate them from the first Jawbreaker colony.

Seriously, I thought 'what if he were to make a movie, for cinema?' and came to the conclusion that I would definitely watch it 100%. Your voice is perfectly fitting, your story-telling is awesome and although I'm not really an expert neither on ants nor on movies, I totally see this on the kinds of BBC earth or National Geographic and so on. I love it - thank you man and keep up the good work. (Sorry if that was mentioned before or if it is even already on channels other than KZbin, as I said, I am kinda new.
