Maybe the millipedes or centipedes I have seen killed the isopods,as they are fairly large specimens.

Roly Polies are also extremely well protected. One night, while living in SoCal, I witnessed a large adult fall into a Black Widow's web and watched the large spider come out and bite on it for a long time....at least for 1/2 hour, when finally, the Widow cut it loose and the Roly Polie dropped to the ground. A few minutes later, it unfolded and unhurriedly walked off as if nothing happened. I was really surprised it actually survived the encounter. I wonder if the bigger, stronger Australian RedBack Widow, which I have seen in action against many other bugs without losing a battle on another You Tube channel, would be successful in eating a Roly Polie.

Speaking of ant pheromones - I once picked up a dead bug part (with tweezers) that huge carpenter ants were eating, and I dropped it, and the ant or two that were on it, into the midst of several others that were eating a bigger part of the bug. When it hit the ground, they ALL ran in 10 different directions from that point. Pretty amazing to see.

I have a prosperous colony of isopods in a potted plant at my office, that I have had for many years. Although there are also millipedes and rove beetles sharing the space that are thriving, I agree the isopods are monsters. They eat their shed skins. They eat their own dead. Once I rescued a wounded one, and put it in the colony in hopes it would recover, and the others ate it alive. This is even though I keep them well provided with dead leaves, bits of fruit, and their favorite thing, cheese. I have not seen them eating the millipedes, but the millipedes are very small, so maybe I have just not caught them at it yet.

I can’t tell because of the foil, but I’m not sure if your ant population grew enough to the point where they need to clear out. If you really want to encourage them to move out, remove the foil, they don’t like light. Speaking of, I would suggest making a cover for the glass so when they move into the sand area where you wanted them to dig, they can do so comfortably without feeling exposed to the light. Something similar as to what AntsCanada did for his Volcano setup. I’m not sure if you’ll be making another terrarium soon, but I have an idea of one if you have room, a terrarium island (tank) set up in an aquarium. Basically a tank within a tank, the aquarium acts like a moat and use that as the critters water source instead of the high quality pond you have currently. Just an idea. Edit: I forgot to add, ants LOVE and need sugar, experiment what kind of jello they like, if you’re feeling up to it, make some yourself, some fresh live prey would be good for them too, they’re hunters and gatherers, more lively if they hunt something that’s struggling.

I don't realy want to force them out because that might stress them too much. The terrariums is against the wall when I'm not filming so they aren't exposed to light. I like the idea of an island terrarium very much! I was already thinking about a way to do something like that

@HomemadeEcosystems ah, I see, I didn't realize it was against the wall, nvm on that part then. And I get why you don't want to stress them out, but I've done it with my Honeypots and Fire Ants, but you do what you are comfortable with, just giving my suggestion and experience, but in the end of the day, they're your babies so you make the call (: And awesome, glad to hear that (: I thoroughly enjoy your content, so keep it up (:

Thanks for this update. My garden is being under attacked by ants and these dam potato bugs aka rollie pollies aka demons from hell. They're eating everything in sight... i have organic plants that seem to be working. then I transplant them to other areas or in the road to be eaten by my neighborhood birds. Just became a member on your patreon, keep up the great content brother, love the terrarium videos.

Watching this reminded me of the 1st 'bug box' I had as a kid... Little cylindrical plastic tube that had a plastic mesh (for bugs to breathe) on one end, and a plastic magnifying cap to see the bugs closer. I was an only child, therefore, I spent hours on end in the front and back yards of my parents house entertaining myself by watching ants, spiders, rolly-pollys, nats, flies, butterflies, you name it. I truly enjoyed this video and your sense of humor~ 😁

I’ve never been able to keep moss alive in my isopod enclosures. Once they start breeding, their numbers explode and they eat almost everything! But there are a few plants they won’t eat, like ferns and some succulents.
