[@antsandpets]

they are such a big colony!

[@Antymatters]

Hopefully ina few months will look back on them like they were so small in march 😄

[@BasicAnts]

Really great video, nice macro shots and your 8 way trophallaxis was remarkable, very cool to see that.

[@Antymatters]

Thankyou for watching :) yeah I've caught 4 doing trophylaxis before but never caught 8 before haha.

[@crazyantics_]

Another great video on the Tetramorium Bicarinatum! Your colony is now crazy big, it's amazing!

[@Antymatters]

Thanks 😊 there booming now and summers gonna warm them up nicely too.

[@mikoants9485]

Is very refreshing to watch your ants. Thank you

[@Antymatters]

Thankyou mate 👍 😀

[@Antramblings]

Nice to see the whole family . It had insofar me to give mine a chunk of roach tonight . I have been giving them fruit flies since i have thousands at the moment but i don't think they are that great at hunting them .

[@Antymatters]

Theyl love that for sure, gonna give mine 3 adults tonight :) bought 4 boxes down the shop because they were there haha 😄

[@Antramblings]

You seriously need your own roach farm they are about £15 for 100 on ebay but some sellers would set you up with a full breeding colony if you asked .

[@antsengland714]

Awesome video! Insane colony! Think you started a trend with the tetramorium bicarinatum lol. Thanks for the shout out! Saturn’s are awesome! ❤️🐜🐜🐜

[@Antymatters]

Thanks! 😀 there like the perfect ant in my opinion 😄 everyone needs some bicarinatum in there life. And your welcome, your videos much better than anything I could rustle up.

[@nigelbagguley7410]

I have my own little colony now 2 queens and around 40 workers they are a great ant to watch.

[@Antymatters]

There great:) i spend far to much time staring at mine 😄

[@denhambad]

Next time with the DIY Ferrero Rocher box I would recommend turning it upside down and creating a pit for the tubing so it is easier to view. Great video and lovely colony!

[@Antymatters]

Good idea, will be refining the design as they I go, pipes are deffinetly not perfect atm haha

[@wakooshi]

awesome video. great detail on those macro shots!

[@Antymatters]

Cheers wakooshi :) the ants were being great models 😄

[@antshood3324]

that’s a lot of nest space! great looking colony buddy

[@Antymatters]

Cheers hood, theyl of filled it in a couple weeks I'm sure 😄 not as bad as your solenopsis though.

[@matttheant]

Wow! Their massive! Just caught one of these queens the other day. Looking forward to their growth!

[@Antymatters]

Hope they boom, if you can find any workers nearby you could maybe give her a headstart and give her a couple :) all the best

[@matttheant]

@@Antymatters Thanks! I didn't realize that I could add workers from other colonies 😄

[@Antymatters]

That's the reason there so good at being am invasive species, they have very little interspersed aggression and seem to know together there unstoppable :)

[@matttheant]

@@Antymatters Wow, that's incredible!

[@stijncroon9287]

great video man

[@HappilyEverAnter]

That trophallaxis was intense.

[@Antymatters]

Haha yeah it got pretty crazy, pretty fast haha. they just kept coming 😄

[@meatbag1341]

Love the vids !

[@Antymatters]

Thankyou, there great ant models

[@Stellarium-ui6so]

Do the tetra's eat seeds or nuts? I just received a 40 worker 3q colony and am looking for tips.

[@Antymatters]

@Stellarium-ui6so I'm inside about seeds but they do eat walnut for sure:)

[@Kai_Smeets]

How do you keep them warm?

[@Antymatters]

Well during summer when it's warm they have a couple heatmatts with a thermostat. During winter they get tucked up nice and warm in the incubator all stacked up. The summer heatmatts are just fir cold nights to btw, off all day

[@amac247]

When is my episode 14?

[@Antymatters]

Tommorow I believe. Filming some of it now :)

[@estonianants]

[@CarterK-r5v]

How old is this colony?

[@Antymatters]

At this point I think about 8months

[@BrainFreezeMC]

How long have you had this colony?

[@Antymatters]

Maybe 2 years now but in this video maybe 8 months I think

[@BrainFreezeMC]
