Started watching AntsCanada when I was In 3rd grade. I finally started raising ants 8 years later.

[@EnderAnts]

better late than never 😎

[@LightsCameraAnts]

I like the video. You are becoming popular really quick.

[@EnderAnts]

Been on the grind for a while now :D

[@James-tv2bm]

Thanks! A lot of people see ant vids from ants aus and ants Canada and find it interesting, but don’t know how and when to start. This really clears it all up, and hopefully inspires people to get started with keeping ants. Nice job!

[@chosetec]

Nice video. I like the short history section. Thanks for educating about the dangers of releasing potentially invasive species, I think there are a lot of people who don't fully see the risk. Regarding the title, technically "uprising" is not correct, since it seems to only refer to rebellions. It should be "rising". Small detail though. Thanks again for the vid!

[@NovoAnts]

Nice video. It’s a great hobby to get into. I just made a video on my 5 top reasons to keep ants. Keep up the great work

[@Thorn_krieg]

Novo Ants nice

[@AnkieJay]

Nice video, it actually felt engaging and I lost track of its time. Really good work.

[@EnderAnts]

Thank you, really appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@thaiants4679]

All of you guys are my inspiration. 🍻

[@travisb5358]

Dude you rock!! I just got a pheidole and camponotus pennsylvanicus

[@EnderAnts]

Yoo nice nice! Make sure they get to the worker stage for me :D

[@randommemesweekly4417]

i just discovered antkeeping last year, and now i have a developing colony, can't wait for the first workers to hatch!

[@EnderAnts]

Best of luck with your new colony :D

[@shreckbros6807]

those creamatogaster sp. look so nice

[@EnderAnts]

🤩🤩 One of my favorite species for sure

[@DBtrix]

Nice

[@murdy9434]

Nice vid i was waiting on this thank you

[@EnderAnts]

Thank you for waiting!

[@iinnuusakaino426]

OMG I JUST FOUND A HARVESTER ANT QUEEN!!!!

[@EnderAnts]

Waaaaa congrats! Do you know what the weather was like?

[@iinnuusakaino426]

It was just a normal sunny day

[@iinnuusakaino426]

Do you think I should keep on feeding it seeds or is it colostral?

[@EnderAnts]

@@iinnuusakaino426 Yes, it is semi-claustral so be sure to keep it in a tubs and tubes setup or have a mini outworld for it. Do you know what time it was when you caught her?

[@iinnuusakaino426]

It was around 4pm

[@antsunited7931]

What happens if the queen is the same species that lives in your state but you got her from a nearby state?(right next to. So like I live in Illinois so like idk Wisconsin.)

[@EnderAnts]

State laws are different for every state. But I remember a forum post asking a similar question to this. People said that it is still illegal as you are transporting them across state lines.

[@Idk-qh6xg]

Nice video

[@antzamerica4519]

Hi, you probably aren’t going to see this but I think some of this information is outdated or incorrect. In the US, it’s legal to ship ants across state borders, but not to import or export them out of the country. There are of course regulations to shipping ants (only shipping to native states, sending the buyer a permit for the species, not releasing them, etc.) , but it’s okay to do if the shop follows the regulations and has the correct permits. Love the content, but that was just something I noticed! 💜

[@kee1111]

What’s the sp of the queen in 2:37

[@EnderAnts]

Brachymyrmex patagonicus, the Dark Rover ant

[@brocave_ants4782]

Great video!

[@ETHBeats]

Great video And channel 🙌🙌

[@ernest_4104]

[@EnderAnts]

😔😔

[@Thorn_krieg]

Amazing video keep up the great work👍🏼

[@iinnuusakaino426]

I’ve been looking for a queen ant for like 3 years and I still haven’t found any

[@Thorn_krieg]

WMO_IINNUU oof

[@Thorn_krieg]

WMO_IINNUU Just look after it rains during nuptial flight season

[@Thorn_krieg]

WMO_IINNUU But if you still can’t find any just flip over some rocks there’s bound to be a colony

[@temperateants6785]

Do you look everyday and near forest areas?

[@swaindame]

At this point my man just dig up a mound of ant colony and just find the queen.

[@anthubph1396]

Your videos are getting better though!

[@i__mac1208]

i recently bought an ausants fiunding nest for my small colony on lasius and was wondering weather to get a ytong/hebel nest or a hybrid nest from ants canada once my colony outgrows this smaler nest. Would appreciate any advice, thanks

[@EnderAnts]

I’d recommend a TarheelAnts formicarium if you’re in the US (since shipping international is more pricier). Or you can get a larger nest from AusAnts since they have both ytong and acrylic nests. AntsCanada’s nests cost much more compared to the other ones mentioned, but I’ll have to check if their newer nests have dropped in price.

[@exoticantsgaming5724]

For me personally I just got into ant keeping last year 2020.

[@EnderAnts]

I hope you enjoy ant keeping for many years, I’m at my 5th year, it flew by quickly

[@ZomBeeNature]

Not first! Not even tenth! But close! Antkeeping is harder than it seems like it should be...

[@EnderAnts]

As long as you know just a little about caring for ants, it will be easy sailing from there.

[@antsintexas8372]

0:10 is a harvester ant without a gaster

[@TaistisPelaa]

How is she alive?

[@EnderAnts]

Ants can live a few hours or days without their gaster. But that means she would be dying soon :(

[@6k911Channel]

1:03 Oh ya I met him IRL, he sold me a ant queen xD Small world huh?

[@EnderAnts]

Oh wow that’s pretty cool, the ant keeping community and real life really are a small world 😎

[@VilleAbr]

I love ants! 🐜

[@EnderAnts]

Me too!

[@reneesedigo7477]

It help me alot

[@fakeme3968]

I'm here cuz of Ant-Man and doing research for my next pet.

[@EnderAnts]

ants will not disappoint as great pets :D

[@temperateants6785]

Great quality vid!!!

[@spootsintheend658]

wait i have ants and im spoots in the end

[@skycee9775]

I have a carpenter ant Species and I’m honestly really hoping once I have the right stuff to make correct videos and good quality ones that I will be a ant channel too :3 I hope ;-; maybe this years Christmas.

[@EnderAnts]

YAAAY! Will be looking forward to seeing what colonies you have. But you can start now if you have a phone and a clip-on macro lens. That’s how I started off :D

[@skycee9775]

Then I hope I can buy that lens lol and that it isn’t to costly :3

[@skycee9775]

Yo I got a micro lens now and more ants :>

[@EnderAnts]

yuuusss hope the quality is nice and your colonies are doing well :D

[@skycee9775]

Yeah my camera quality went all the way up to 1080 :> I'm rlly happy with it and my colony's r doing well.

[@user-bv9kw2rw5k]
