SCORPION and Harvester ANT MIX!

The second of many updates on this enormous piece of forest within a container. There are obviously less animals in this one as the foundational entities have to settle first. Although, in this video we will introduce two salamanders and two ant colonies!
Thank you for watching and have a fANTastic day!

Thank you so much ;)!

It’s usually found on the lids of garbage cans :) (at least my garbage can)

The bug at 7:00 is a globular springtail, beyond that, I don’t know its ID Great video, as always

[@klippschliefer4968]

I have made a similar thing, but only 30x30 cm big, but you can see nature in action just as well as in such a big one! Its always fascinating to watch the ant colonies ( There are 3), the isopods, snails millipedes and spiders do their thing. And the coolest thing in there is a Beetle, wich grew from a tiny larvae i put in there, and now he is the biggest thing in there and eats a lot of isopods. Its really cool how it evolves, and i cant wait to see it in a year or so.

Omg u just make the best vivariums ever! I love how u put multiple types of animals inside the vivarium to keep it healthy and natural! I just got a queen fire ant that has a huge batch of eggs. Keep up the gud work!

Well thank you for the nice comment :D?

[@jtch6668]

Probably E. flavicaudis, depends where you found them :) And yes their diet is mostly made of isopods. I'm starting to doubt it's flavicaudis, seeing the brownish color of the legs !

[@nordicants6232]

I got them!! So I have no idea at all xD but flavicaudis seems the most reasonable? They are from europe they told me

[@tamarrajames3590]

It is looking amazing in there, but if that boy scorpion ever wants to get some action he better step up...your girl is an Amazon. If he is afraid of his food SHE is going to terrify him.Those salamanders are fast...and really quite beautiful. Some of your critters are growing like it is a race, you have some big slugs and worms in there. I was thinking about you last night as I watched one of my yard snails trying to get what she thought of as her share of a pork bun while the raccoons argued about it. For a moment I thought she might end up IN a raccoon...but she dropped off it just in time. I need more of this channel in my life, so thanks for sharing.🖤🇨🇦

[@nordicants6232]

Well your yard snail is an amazon!! Hahahahaha. Thank you again for the wonderful comment

[@tamarrajames3590]

Nordic Ants that snail really was ballsey given the circumstances she was in. I let my yard be a forest edge, and whatever creatures end up there are let be. I often sit in the yard and just watch the varied life go about their business. This year I intend to classify the various ant colonies that live on my property. Don’t worry...I will be commenting on your vivarium updates every time you give one. I really enjoy your style and enthusiasm. 🖤🇨🇦

Dont watch them that much nowadays tbh but ofc I lobe them since they enjoy the same things as I do :D

[@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant]

I don't see this turning out too well, but if I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it. The main thing that's going to keep that ant species from taking over your tank is the fact that it is not their ideal environment.

[@nordicants6232]

Challenge accepted ;) hahahahah we will see!

[@piesaurus6008]

6:50 is a globular springtail, im not good at springtail identification so i cant tell the species but its definitely a globular springtail. (one of my favorite kinds)
