Ant Desk 3

[@GhostGuy764]

I hope you film moving that one colony. It's always oddly satisfying watching them move all the young.

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Blake I plan to attempt to catch that on video. Catching a movie on video takes a lot of time and a little luck as well. They have to move soon!

[@GhostGuy764]

Looking forward to it!

[@naus100]

Thanks for the video, looking forward to more of them.

[@TarheelantsUSA]

naus100 Thanks for watching, naus100.

[@carlulrich2]

thanks, very informative

[@brandonhvacants2217]

mini hearth ordered thanks for making it affordable for what it is. can't wait to see it. me and my 6yr old daughter are in on this one together.

[@zookeeper3502]

Nice Video!

[@cokersatm]

I also like to use fruit flies for my ants. They work well especially for small colonies. I put a few into their test tube and it forces them to deal with the flies and feed on them as opposed to leaving a carcass in the outworld and waiting for god knows when for a forager to wander into it.

[@TheXZero38]

I did the open test tube thing with my Pogonomymex species but i made a plug for the test tube from a cotton ball and a maybe half inch long piece of a drinking straw. It has been working really well so far.

[@AntsManitoba]

TarheelAnts I need your help. Okay in the casita 2017 above the water towers there are what looks like tunnels leading up above them behind the nest. I moved out a myrmica colony. And moved in a campo. Then suddenly the myrmica started coming out of the tunnels that are above the water towers. Are they tunnels. What are they????? Please help

[@travisb5358]

Just caught some of these queens

[@VermontAnts]

Awesome!

[@Whitewing89]

I'm hoping to find a Camponotus Pennsylvanicus queen this year. I think I found one last year but she was badly dehydrated and didn't recover.

[@goldencow2726]

Joshua Werner i'm so sry to hear that

[@goldencow2726]

Joshua Werner i hope u find another one

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Good luck finding another!

[@rockwell6686]

Joshua Werner I couldn't find any queens last year bust this year I found 12 Camponotus Pennsylvanicus

[@Whitewing89]

Found one. She has already started leying

[@DragonUdo]

Very cool

[@DiscusNT]

Thanks for the video :)

[@barkalez]

Do you know what material TarheelAnts uses for its formicariums?

[@nhuanhnguyen5011]

I live in Australia. I care for an iridomyrmex bicknelli colony ( rainbow ants) Do you breed or purchase fruit flies because there is an abundance of them.

[@AvoxionYT]

1:29 up down up down up down

[@AntsManitoba]

Hey tar heal ants. My casita should be here today I'm so exited

[@skygrime1346]

Hey Tarheel what are your nests made out of?

[@goldencow2726]

TarheelAnts nice tutorial man, but can you do this more often?

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Golden Cow I will do my best to create more tutorials soon. Thank you!

[@goldencow2726]

TarheelAnts ok, thx man. Oh ya one more thing, can you plz make a tutorial on how to clean the nest because in your first ant desk video, you said you want to show us on how to clean your nest. Thx

[@goldencow2726]

(sry, bad grammar)

[@frankg8360]

TarheelAnts will you plan to do stuff soon?

[@bigmoose7]

Hey i have a pheidole noda colony... which nest would you reccomend for them...they are about 100 ants. love the ants desk videos btw.

[@goldencow2726]

i have a question, can we use our old formacarium that has been used before, for another species of ant?

[@melman4119]

Pleas make a video about how you make your formicariums)

[@unitedants9086]

how should i put a 8w heat pad for a small camponotus nicobarensis colony

[@zookeeper3502]

How do you clean the formic acid?

[@ep9897]

We've been wondering where to get P. Imparis. It reached 70+ 2 days ago, but we didn't see a single elate. We're not sure why. Do you know what conditions they like, if it's not just 70*?

[@nostoneunturnedherping9399]

TarheelAnts I was planning on keeping a Solenopsis molesta colony, and I was wondering whether you would recommend a mini hearth, atom, or inception chamber formicarium for a pair of queens. Thanks!

[@nostoneunturnedherping9399]

Or possibly a Solenopsis invicta colony, but I'm afraid that it will grow too big too fast, what do you think? BTW I am new to ant keeping.

[@bigmoose7]

i have 2 inception chambers , a mini heath and an atom...i think for the founding stage you will get the best value from the atom but the highest quality one is probably the inception chamber...my fav is mine hearth though lol cus it looks cool.

[@youtubeviewer3829]

Does anybody know how to know what species of ant you have I think I have a camponotus but am not sure.

[@thegreat3436]

What would be the best species size option to choose for pheidole. I’m struggling to pick between small and tiny, I don’t what it to be too small as I would like to be able to reuse the formicarium for slightly larger ants if needed when they move out. What would be the best option?

[@TarheelantsUSA]

The Great I would recommend small size tunnels. There are still tiny areas for tiny ants and also some medium sized areas as well. Small is a good way to accommodate a range of smaller Ants.

[@joeyharper4052]

YEEEES!

[@gamestuffplus5509]

Really enjoy your videos and your formicariums, just wish your open worlds were bigger. I think your site needs more detailed descriptions for your products, Was helping my girlfriend purchase a product from you several days ago, both of us had problems understanding what we were getting with some of your products and also not knowing what the product would look like design wise. Aside from that, we are looking forward to receiving your product, No idea how Ants Canada is doing soo much better then you, they charge twice as much and has far less options, your prices are much more reasonable.

[@skygrime1346]

Hey I need help I have a 12 worker camponotus cruentantus colony what nest would you recommend? There quite large snts

[@TarheelantsUSA]

I would recommend a Type I Fortress for them. They like a dryer nest typically which is why I recommend this nest.

[@michuberlaufts2041]

Cool😆🖒

[@invertevision4757]

What camera do you use? I'm trying so hard to find one that can do great macro with no luck. Thank you

[@bigmoose7]

try a nikon d3300 with tubing ....you dont actually need an expensive lense to do great macro shots of ants...

[@Green-co2ri]

Ship to costarica?

[@lanzhangyuan9869]

What's the interior substrate and exterior color of that fortress?

[@TarheelantsUSA]

This is white sand interior and bone exterior color.

[@VolodyaKalmykov]

[@VolodyaKalmykov]

[@bigmoose7]

[@zookeeper3502]

I am thinking about buying from your store do your formacariums come with tubing or would I have to order that seperate?

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Ants America yes you will need to order the vinyl tubing separate.

[@zookeeper3502]

Ok thanks Ill be spending alot on your website and am very confident that your formacariums will be amazing for my ants.

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Ants America I look forward to discussing your orders with you in the future. Thanks for watching Ants America.

[@zookeeper3502]

A. Stepnick Thank you.

[@taradavis3985]

Hey there, I'm from North Carolina and looking for tips on how to catch the native species. I know this is an old video, but I'm hoping someone local will reply and be able to give me some much needed information. My dream species is Prenolepis imparis, but I'm open to any non-aggressive species (no fire ants please!)

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Hey Natalia! Drop me an email at [e-mail]. I will do my best to help!

[@danic4748]

What size ants would Prenolepis Imparis be? (False honey pot ants).

[@disasterexperiments493]

3-4 mm

[@bigmoose7]

try size small or very small

[@bigmoose7]

id go small to be one the safe side

[@Aaron-iw1iq]

does prenolepis imparis fly with snow on the ground

[@TarheelantsUSA]

Aaron Gordon I do not think so.

[@Aaron-iw1iq]

TarheelAnts thanks I'm about to try this for the first time and watching the way different ants hunt was really cool

[@Aaron-iw1iq]

[@TarheelantsUSA]
