My interest in ants has actually helped me get a position in a university entomology lab that specializes in ants! After all the time I've spent researching and keeping ants, turns out that I was able to use that to help my academic career! It's encouraged me greatly in academics as well as helped me deal with stress and anxiety by exploring the beauty of nature and just enjoying the wonderful world that we all live in.
My interest in ants changed my life while I was at work; I found my first solenopsis queen at my jobs yard, this make me realize that there is much more in life than just work; Now, I take periodically walks, I explore new areas and appreciate nature much more, helping me forget the daily responsibilities of life and be curious by even the smallest living creature.
Ants affected my life alot i told one of my friends all about ants, one day he told a school teacher about me and i got a job here , so now i teach about ants
By keeping and learning about ants I've decided to switch degrees and pursue Environmental Wildlife and Conservation in an effort to learn more about ants in the wild and their contribution to a healthy ecosystem. It keeps me distracted and healthy because Im out almost every weekend hiking with a backpack full of test tubes!
Hope they stay around long enough so you can work your whole life in that field :( edition.cnn.com/2017/10/19/europe/insect-decline-germany/index.html i think ants were about staggering 90% :(( to add to this they were talking about animals up the foodchain. I read that singing bird populations have declined across the board around 25 to up to 50%.

Keeping ants has made me appreciate nature and has made me walk outside alot more. I now walk outside with test tubes to catch queens. Ant love forever.
Ants have impacted my life by me now having a lot less tine over the weekends because I have to feed and clean my colonies! :-) I also just like to watch them and they can make a stressful day a lot better. Overall they have helped to increase my happiness even when I do have to worry about them now and again. Ants have also inspired me to consider pursuing a degree in Myrmecology later on, something I NEVER would have considered without learning everything I now know about them!
My interest in ants has given me so much since I began watching documentaries about them when I was only eight years old. It taught me to be patient and altruistic, and it has given me the chance to learn to respect and care for the planet earth’s envirnment and well being, but it also taught me about the ruthless side of nature. Overall, I believe ants have helped shape me into a better person and even now, eight years later, I still love to watch and keep them as pets! Love from Portugal!! :)
Thats tru prob because its nuptial flight season so most people need ant tutorials and btw aunt Australia is more straightforward and helpful while ants canada is for story time they are both great
Because of ants I have become more responsible as a person and it has caused me to drop my video games obsession and go outside often. Because of them I want to become an entomologist. The aspect of creatures living together in one enormous family like a human but in perfect sync is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen
I have made two friends who love your channel becouse of ants and I never knew that there were so many species of ants that's how ants have impacted my life
I may only be in high school, but ants have changed my life so much. I have found that after I had started keeping my first ants, I was able to much more easily understand the needs of many creatures, and my mind was opened to looking after the personalities of each individual insect, and not just insects as a whole. Also, as much as I love bingeing on Ants Australia all day, Ant keeping is a real hobby that keeps me occupied in a meaningful way. Not just sitting at my desk all day.
I've found ant keeping has affected me in two ways, it's allowed me to pursue my interest in nature and wildlife when my family is against most pets, especially insects. Convincing them to keep one little ant queen was easy! Altough I will be interested to see how they feel when the colony grows. Its also made me far more aware of all the smaller parts of ecosystems and life. I now keep finding myself spotting fascinating ant species, and even tracing them back to their colonies I would have never found or cared about before. They are fascinating creatures and have been so glad to start keeping them!!!
After these months where i have been following you and the Ants Canada channel. Have i learn´t to love ants and admire the ants, usually i dident give a damn about the ants and sometimes even stomped on them, but now when i see an ant colony in the wild i watch them. i think ants is just a special creature, and this week im also going on an queen hunt It is some days after a rainstorm so i think it is a noice time. thanks for changing my mind about ants
Hi ant invasion I really like your videos but they are very short could you plz do a series where you show an ant colony for about 5-10 minutes each I would also love if you subscribed here as you were one of the peeps who got me into the hobby
Finally!! It is incredible that the jaws can be used as a flight technique, but from another thought, is it possible that the ant was just attacking the pen/stick you were holding? The flight technique was just a coincidence from the smooth surface?
This technique also helps then escape other small ants, if they grab into the trap jaw ant by every side, it can fling itself away causing the ants to dismantle their grin on it
Well, ants have really helped my social life. I did not really know a lot of people going into a new school after moving, and ants helped me relate to other kids. Now I have a lot more friends and feel better. Ants make me happy and keep me motivated to go outdoors and I often look for hours. It helped me exercise more and helped my self-esteem. I don't have a colony yet, just one queen without any eggs. I never would have thought that a creature so small could have such a big affect on someone's life. Ants just helped me with everything.
I've once had a fear of ants. Once I started watching your videos, it slowly gave me confidence against ants. Now I have over 5 colony's of ants. Thanks so much Jordan! Ants really had a huge impact on my life.
Ant keeping has not only improved my life overall, but has also further broadened my love for all sorts of animals as i learn about the impact that ants have on both animal and plant life. ant keeping has improved my personal development by allowing myself to take responsibility by feeding the ants and cleaning their outworlds as well as exposing me to an amazing community of ant keepers on the various ant keeping facebook pages that allow me to interact and engage with fellow ant keepers about the growing hobby in Australia and the rest of the world. Ant keeping also acts as an escape from reality for me as i am currently a high school student in year 12 and i can go through a few rough times with the heavy loads of studying involved, yet when i watch the ants in m outworld it puts me at ease watching each ant working their own job. Ant keeping is truley the best hobby i have come across and cannot wait to dive further into the amazing world that is ant keeping.
Ant keeping has impacted my life hugely. I have been dealing with a depression for the past year now due to a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and bullying at school. I decided to take up ant keeping because I used to do a lot of ant keeping when I was younger, and to keep my mind off diabetes.
By learning about ants, I have changed my outlook on them since, seeing them as beautifully amazing creatures rather than a stupid pest in my house. I have since changed to recognize every creature of nature, and know they are there for good reason. For example, I still fear and don’t like wasps, but, I know they are great prey to some of of favorite animals, which eat them and help them survive.
Ants have impacted my life a lot. Going to school isn’t to bad, but it is a long, hard and slow process. But when I know that I can come home to my ants and watch and help them grow it gets me through the day. Cause I always have something to look forward to, and before i didn’t.
By keeping ants and doing research about them, ants and other insects have become less disturbing for me. I also come more into contact with nature, because I'm catching queen ants once they fly out. When I was young, I always used to kill ants. But now, i take care of my own colonies and I started loving every ant species in the world. I also do research. I do that on RUclips (Ants Australia and AntsCanada), Google and my own observations.
Answer to the question; Learning about ants and making them homes has made me feel more happy and caring. Ants take up a lot of my time as well because I can watch my ants and ant videos for hours! I am a new subscriber to you channel!
i've been watching your videos recently and ive noticed you sound a lot happier/sure of yourself in these more recent videos, i dont know you personally but it makes me happy to hear that growth and excitement in your voice!!! keep up the great work
My interest in ants has dramatically impacted my life in a few ways. First off, it got my off of the couch and killed my video game addiction, and made me love nature, and find joy in "the little things". Secondly, it made me meet a whole new world of hobbyists, who are all SO helpful. In fact, I made quite a few new friends through antkeeping. This hobby has definitely changed my life for the better!
Ants have had a great impact on my life. At the begining I was afraid of insects but I started watching videos on RUclips about them until I could overcome it to the point that I have my own colony of ants! Thanks to this I met people from my town who love ants and made very good friends! :)
My interest in ants changed and adapted my lifestyle in a very positive way. The responsibility it is, and the honour to care for unique families of animals is a privilege as it has given me an experience and the opportunity to mature myself and learn to care for not only myself, but others in my care too :)
My interest in ants has changed my life alot because i dont do things i usually would like i use to play computer games and stay inside all day but now i go outside almost every day to look for ants. Also the most amazing thing happened three days ago. Thousands of queen ants were flying around and the next day i was watching them go in to groups of twenty then build nests. Also i wouldnt be writing this now if i didnt have interest in ants. Your videos have inspired me to like ants. Thankyou for your videos!
Ants have impacted me in a way that gives me excitement and eagerness to venture out with my two boys (and sometimes mom) into the woods and fields looking for not only ants but any form of insect life that can teach the three us a thing or two! They definitely have given me more to look forward to spring and summer. - Thank you for posting today!
My interest for ants has made me and my girlfriend have a new hobby! Raising ants and observing them grow/work is one of the greatest experiences one can have!
My interest in ants has impacted my life in that it made me more aware of how delicate and perfectly balanced the nature you are trying to emulate is, and how complex natural structures are.
Ant keeping has impacted me in a calm manner by helping me relieve stress when watching them and now when ever I see a ant I be sure to get a good 10 second look at them to learn more.
My life has been impacted on ants because of being inside all day playing video games, i watched your videos and you have inspired me to like ants. Also when you told us about naptial flights, i listened to what you said and i whent for a walk out in a warm and humid day then i suddenly start seeing thousands of queen ants. I really liked that first experience of my life with ants. Now i really want to make my own colony of ants. I really like your videos and hopefully you saw this comment!! I will always watch every single video you upload. Thank you!
It has changed my life, ants entered my dreams shortly after entering my life, It’s changed the way I see the world around me, oriented me towards the diversity in this world opened me to a whole new side of life and it’s shaping the way I see my future, I now want to word with theses animals and share their amazing adaptation with others by showing them first hand what theses animals are capable off
So much better than Ants Canada. I'm so happy to have a channel with a hugh inventory that just gives interesting footage and information that doesn't clickbait or base his content on dramatic storylines.
By becoming interested in ants I now notice the little things in nature and my own life. Ants are so careful in every little task they do and by keeping ants that teaches me to do the same. Overall ants teach me to take great care and time even doing the little things in life.
before getting in to ants didn't think bugs could really do much. but after seeing them more i've realized they pretty smart how to separate their waste and how they share food. it makes them seem a lot more human. and now i see this more and more in animals
I am 13 and have always been interested in ants, it has impacted my life and your videos make it 1000x better. I have spend a little to much time looking at ants, my dad always kills ants “because they are pests” and i always say “stop and take a look at them” but he wont listen. But none the less i have a ant colony of harvester ants (mess or barbarus) and there doing great. I hope antkeeping wil impact my life even more!!
Since starting to keep ants and learn more about them, it has brought me back to my nature loving roots. Just by taking a few minutes out of my day and enjoying the world around me.
my interest in ants has changed from what i knew about them before and now has changed so much. in the summer i go outside for more than an hour a day just watching how they move and interact. ants have made me do lots of more outdoor activity's like going hiking to look for queens and look at how the ants make progress over the coarse of a while.
Antkeeping made me meet new people and made me find out that my country has a great antkeeping community from all ages. It's great to share knowledge and fascination with this group whilst keeping all kinds of ants and learn more about nature and its secrets!
It’s impacted me because I have become more aware of the environment, especially the world of small insects. Ants have not only made me more interested about them, but also more interested in insects in general.
Keeping ants has impacted me as a person because I used to think they were pests, but now they are my favourite creature. It has also turned me to learn about other insects such as termites, springtails, crickets and so much more!
It has helped me get through a lot of things I struggle with anxiety and depression but it keeps me distracted, It has also made me become more aware of how much ants affect the ecosystem
My interest in ants impacted my life by making me go outside more and becoming more active, I used to stay indoors playing video games all day, but since I discovered ant keeping I am always studying and observing ants and other insects
I have problems with panic attacks and depression, and the one thing that helps me more then my mountain of pills is feeding my ants and watching there cheer joy and appreciation, I love watching them quickly racing back to there mother and queen and almost fighting each other for the right to feed there mother. I can watch them for hours. My ants are one of the best things that happened and impacted my life in such a great way!
watching the ants helps to calm me down when i'm stressed which has become particularly useful now i'm at university. i study sociology and keeping ants has helped me to understand how their societies work. next year i'm taking a module on animal sociology and societies and plan on writing an essay on ant societies as i feel that we as humans can learn so much from them.
When i started keeping ants 🐜 it gave me a wider view of the world around me and helped me improve myself by not wasting my spare time and gave me something to study and love
My interest in ants has inspired me to this year go out and found my first colony of ants. It has also allowed me to branch out and watch many new channels and people I never knew about like this one. I cant wait to find my first queen.
Ants have impacted my life a lot even though I down have any that I own. They make me more interested in nature and also helped me overcome my fear of some insects. Now I can watch ant videos for hours. I might get an ant colony in the summer. Fingers crossed
Ants have affected my life in that they have led me down a path of exploring new things and learning more, the ant keeping hobby has also helped me build a stronger bond with my freinds when we interact about ants and share our colonies and other ant related things.
Discovering ants has helped get me out and active again after struggling with depression. not only that, but they've helped show that not only fluffy and cuddly pets help with mental health, I now recommend ants and other invertebrate to people who feel stressed anxious or lonely, but can't afford to get a dog or cat! So far it's worked every time!
My interest in ants has impacted my life in many ways ! I'm way more interested in biology and nature now, so it has impacted my studies, and I even want (like you) to spread this interest to other people, so I started talking about it and now I even make videos on RUclips to share this passion.
My interest in ants changed my life by giving me a interest in nature. Now I go on walks all the time and I appreciate how every plant and animal has become perfect through evolution.
When i was in middle school, i always had an intrest in ants. Durring reccess and lunch, id go outside to feed the wild ants at my school. This kept going until after watching some of yours and ants canada's videos thati decided to keep ants. After many failed attempts, ant keeping has taught me to be veeeeerrrrrrry patient. And that humans arent the first at everything (eg farming and slavery and projectile weapons) now in chemestry, it has inspired me to learn more about mature and the different molecues, species and just every thing related to ants. Im an official ant FANATIC.
I’ve always been interested in ants and other insects. By learning about them they’ve shaped me in the kid I’am today. Ants have impacted me in a way that I’am more caring for the environment and it’s wildlife.
Keeping ants has given me a whole new perspective on life, it really has shown me that nature is everywhere and can come in different shapes and sizes, and that you should always look where you are walking.🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Ant keeping impacted my life quite a lot probably because they were my first pets (except from brine shrimp). They showed me how to care for others and made me much more observant. I started seeing ants and other insects at places where I passed by inattentive in the past. Furthermore ants teached me patients and being bored became an unknown feeling (almost). I have five self caught lasius Niger colonies (common but amazing). ~greetings from Germany
Literally my favorite type of ant. I just found one about an hour ago on accident while I was working! First one I have found since I became a fan of them so I was unreasonably excited
My interest in ants has impacted my life the most by tuning me into nature. Now wherever I go I am always thinking where there would be an ant colony, where a queen might start her founding chamber. I've found over 20 different colonies in my 1.1 acre yard and love to go into nature and find more.
My interest in ants has made me understand even the tiniest creatures can change the world as some species of ants spread seeds helping the biosphere this has taught me so much about our planet and animals
Any keeping has been an awesome experience so far, it really has been quite fascinating. I’m currently keeping 6 colonies, and it’s been a great way of stress relief just watching them as I’m currently doing my HSC... Thanks heaps for all of the content, keep it up 💪👍
My interest in ants have allowed me to have a wider understanding of insects and their small world that despite its small size, is just as beautiful and bewildering as ours. I learned much about these small ants and their BIG impact on the world such as in their native ecosystems and their invaded. These fun size critters are simply an aspect of nature that shall fascinate me till death. 🐜❤️
The reason ants have impacted my life is that they have enabled me to not only look at species of insects the same way but also now arachnids ( I had a major phobia of them) . Because in eco-systems they all depend on each and every individual species in order to survive. always liked other animals like reptiles, mammals, amphibians, birds and much more. But now I spend a lot of my time learning about ants. And all the other creatures that often go unnoticed. I have even just recently started my own ant colony! So I am glad that I have been able to change my view on these little guys as well as other creatures.
My life has been changed because i now respect them a whole lot more, it's fascinating watching them in the wild. Now i have my own ant colonies and I love to watch them. Their universe is so much different than ours!
Interacting with ants has allowed me to get close to and watch one aspect of biology that has always fascinated me as I enjoy animals that live in colony's and I have always liked the way the hyeracy in ant colony's have worked
My interest in ants started when I was around the age of five but then the interest had faded away until about a few months ago. I stumbled upon your channel because of my favorite teacher she had many ant nests up to eight recently she has been told that she has stage one cancer in the liver. Her love for ants has robed off on me. the love for ants that she has helped me not think of the problems she will face ahead I hope every day that she will be ok I hope so hard that I recently found a queen fire ant that I have named after her because of her burning passion. This Is how my love for ants have impacted me as a person. Ps. love your channel I will tell her about it and your shop when she gets better.
As i discovered my love to ants my interest got more and more towards nature and environment. So finally i ended up studying biology and keeping lot of different ants and other insects. I will never regret discovering ants in that beautiful way. Cheers
Ants sparked my interest in invertebrates and if I wouldn’t have seen a documentary about them, then I probably wouldn’t sit here with a shelf full of fascinating invertebrates and the plan to study biology next semester. Ants basically helped the younger me to find out, what I want for my future - I want to study biology and zoology and I hope to work in animal-based education and teach children about the importance of ants and other invertebrates in our ecosystem.
Ant keeping changed me as a person because I was un-decided of what I would like to be as a grown up:Actor,Comedian,Fotographer...Until I saw one of your videos and I knew what I would want to be...A ANT KEEPER!...I hope you all have a wonderful day...Bye! P.S Love Your Videos
By keeping ants I developed some sort of obsession for them. My girlfriend is going crazy with al the story's I tell her about my ants. And next year I wanne do a masters in entomology. So they had quite a big impact on my life!
I started ant keeping when one if my friends told me about this channel and it sounded amazing I could imagine a rising empire of my own and it seemed fascinating that ants are actuly a lot like humans how they tackle care of one another
Ants made me aware of nature more than before. Getting more interested and curious about insects and animals such as tarentula, scorpions and more. They made me really curious about the tiny world under our feet
I started ant keeping one year ago,and at that time, I got the 27th place in school,I was very dissapointed and sad.But when I saw Your video,I got interested in ants and started to catch ants during their nuptial flight.The first ant I caught was a big Camponotus Parius in my yard,and I kept looking for more queens.It got me distracted from my exam grade and I felt happy again. #ANTKEEPERFOREVER
My interest in ants has impacted me in so many ways, I have a much bigger respect for nature,I have an interesting new hobby, I can care and nurture something I truly love,and last of all, I can connect with amazing people who also have an interest in the same hobby!
My interest in ants has become my new hobby. Or at-least I'm trying to make it one. It is distracting me from a lot of troubles in life. Troubles that I can't directly do anything about as it is not within my power. I haven't had a hobbies in over 9 years due to dealing with many issues in my life. Mental Health. Physical Health. Relationships. I've watched ant videos every day for almost a year. It brings me joy to know I have an interest in something again.
Ant keeping had a huge impact on my life. Ever since I watched AntsCanada and you I wanted to have a queen ant so bad but I could not find one. It made me outside A LOT so I can find a queen. Ant keeping made me want to buy a queen ant from a GAN farmer. If I didn’t ant keep I would not have met him. Now ant keeping made me stay up at night to watch my ants. Whenever I am away I always worry about my ants. I always think that I should feed them more. Ant keeping also made me use a website called “Formiculture”. If I didn’t ant keep I would not have met all of these ant keepers. They told me when queens were flying so I can have more colonies. This is why ant keeping changed my life. Also it made me know what species I have which is Camponotus Clarithorax, Pogo Califorisus or something, and solonopsis invicta. THANK GOD FOR ANTS!!
My interest in ants has actually helped me get a position in a university entomology lab that specializes in ants! After all the time I've spent researching and keeping ants, turns out that I was able to use that to help my academic career! It's encouraged me greatly in academics as well as helped me deal with stress and anxiety by exploring the beauty of nature and just enjoying the wonderful world that we all live in.
I know it's kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
I am extremely jealous of you
What university?

Ants affected my life alot i told one of my friends all about ants, one day he told a school teacher about me and i got a job here , so now i teach about ants
cool
By keeping and learning about ants I've decided to switch degrees and pursue Environmental Wildlife and Conservation in an effort to learn more about ants in the wild and their contribution to a healthy ecosystem. It keeps me distracted and healthy because Im out almost every weekend hiking with a backpack full of test tubes!
Aaron wish I could do that, Good for you!
Hope they stay around long enough so you can work your whole life in that field :(
edition.cnn.com/2017/10/19/europe/insect-decline-germany/index.html
i think ants were about staggering 90% :((
to add to this they were talking about animals up the foodchain.
I read that singing bird populations have declined across the board around 25 to up to 50%.
Vizzeable well damn!
sorry i missphrased that one thx
its 90% of native ant species are on the decline in general not the amount

This is my favorite ant channel
@Louis ian Lee he's too cringy
@@ekletters2010 he aint cringy bro, he just wants to make it interesting, this channel i also watch though
Yo why is this comment getting so many replies now two years later...
Thats tru prob because its nuptial flight season so most people need ant tutorials and btw aunt Australia is more straightforward and helpful while ants canada is for story time they are both great
Who likes ants smh
Because of ants I have become more responsible as a person and it has caused me to drop my video games obsession and go outside often. Because of them I want to become an entomologist.

Thats me aswell
Victorian Ants me too I want to make n.s.w ants
Yeah
When they open their jaws it looks like they lock in place like a crossbow.
Exactly what I was thinking! Or a mouse trap
They do and when they feel a touch they bite it
They do actually lock in place through an internal mechanism. Exactly like a bear _trap._

Okay type on net Dracula ants and see them😁
Lol
me too! look like small driver ants? O_O
Same
I keep Ants same
My interest in ants has impacted the way i think about them because I used to think they were annoying but they are actually very interesting.
Amazing video, awesome representation of their ability to ‘teleport’ at 4:53 😨
Hi ant invasion I really like your videos but they are very short could you plz do a series where you show an ant colony for about 5-10 minutes each I would also love if you subscribed here as you were one of the peeps who got me into the hobby
Ant Invasion hi ant invasion I just saw your channel and I hqve to say you are amazing!and I think we are in the same age too!
Andrea Surace hi so you are also newto thehobby? Do you have instagram where we can talk?😃
No I don’t have Insta and I have been keeping ants for 1 year but I was reasearching the hobby for two years
Ants have changed my life in many ways, the best one being introduced into this wonderful secret community of Ant-Lovers! I have learned so much. 💕
Finally!!
It is incredible that the jaws can be used as a flight technique, but from another thought, is it possible that the ant was just attacking the pen/stick you were holding? The flight technique was just a coincidence from the smooth surface?
They frequently encounter ant lions in the wild. This technique helps them escape the ant lion pits
This technique also helps then escape other small ants, if they grab into the trap jaw ant by every side, it can fling itself away causing the ants to dismantle their grin on it
Well, ants have really helped my social life. I did not really know a lot of people going into a new school after moving, and ants helped me relate to other kids. Now I have a lot more friends and feel better. Ants make me happy and keep me motivated to go outdoors and I often look for hours. It helped me exercise more and helped my self-esteem. I don't have a colony yet, just one queen without any eggs. I never would have thought that a creature so small could have such a big affect on someone's life. Ants just helped me with everything.
Cool! I haven't seen that before!
There is alot of them in the Philippines. I got stinged few times as a kid
I've once had a fear of ants. Once I started watching your videos, it slowly gave me confidence against ants. Now I have over 5 colony's of ants. Thanks so much Jordan! Ants really had a huge impact on my life.

Ant keeping has not only improved my life overall, but has also further broadened my love for all sorts of animals as i learn about the impact that ants have on both animal and plant life. ant keeping has improved my personal development by allowing myself to take responsibility by feeding the ants and cleaning their outworlds as well as exposing me to an amazing community of ant keepers on the various ant keeping facebook pages that allow me to interact and engage with fellow ant keepers about the growing hobby in Australia and the rest of the world. Ant keeping also acts as an escape from reality for me as i am currently a high school student in year 12 and i can go through a few rough times with the heavy loads of studying involved, yet when i watch the ants in m outworld it puts me at ease watching each ant working their own job. Ant keeping is truley the best hobby i have come across and cannot wait to dive further into the amazing world that is ant keeping.
beautiful shot, great ants

Ant keeping has impacted my life hugely. I have been dealing with a depression for the past year now due to a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and bullying at school. I decided to take up ant keeping because I used to do a lot of ant keeping when I was younger, and to keep my mind off diabetes.
By learning about ants, I have changed my outlook on them since, seeing them as beautifully amazing creatures rather than a stupid pest in my house. I have since changed to recognize every creature of nature, and know they are there for good reason. For example, I still fear and don’t like wasps, but, I know they are great prey to some of of favorite animals, which eat them and help them survive.
Ants have impacted my life a lot. Going to school isn’t to bad, but it is a long, hard and slow process. But when I know that I can come home to my ants and watch and help them grow it gets me through the day. Cause I always have something to look forward to, and before i didn’t.
By keeping ants and doing research about them, ants and other insects have become less disturbing for me. I also come more into contact with nature, because I'm catching queen ants once they fly out. When I was young, I always used to kill ants. But now, i take care of my own colonies and I started loving every ant species in the world. I also do research. I do that on RUclips (Ants Australia and AntsCanada), Google and my own observations.
Do vids veakly
nah he needs to stay strong
while this would obviously increase the size of his following, it would decrease the quality of his work.
ImATree BelieveMe fair point and I agree :)
Did this comment made by a 4yr old?
Answer to the question; Learning about ants and making them homes has made me feel more happy and caring. Ants take up a lot of my time as well because I can watch my ants and ant videos for hours! I am a new subscriber to you channel!
pls talk about meat ants
i've been watching your videos recently and ive noticed you sound a lot happier/sure of yourself in these more recent videos, i dont know you personally but it makes me happy to hear that growth and excitement in your voice!!! keep up the great work
Hello early today
My interest in ants has dramatically impacted my life in a few ways. First off, it got my off of the couch and killed my video game addiction, and made me love nature, and find joy in "the little things". Secondly, it made me meet a whole new world of hobbyists, who are all SO helpful. In fact, I made quite a few new friends through antkeeping. This hobby has definitely changed my life for the better!
Ants have had a great impact on my life. At the begining I was afraid of insects but I started watching videos on RUclips about them until I could overcome it to the point that I have my own colony of ants! Thanks to this I met people from my town who love ants and made very good friends! :)
My interest in ants changed and adapted my lifestyle in a very positive way. The responsibility it is, and the honour to care for unique families of animals is a privilege as it has given me an experience and the opportunity to mature myself and learn to care for not only myself, but others in my care too :)
My interest in ants has changed my life alot because i dont do things i usually would like i use to play computer games and stay inside all day but now i go outside almost every day to look for ants. Also the most amazing thing happened three days ago. Thousands of queen ants were flying around and the next day i was watching them go in to groups of twenty then build nests. Also i wouldnt be writing this now if i didnt have interest in ants. Your videos have inspired me to like ants. Thankyou for your videos!
Ants have impacted me in a way that gives me excitement and eagerness to venture out with my two boys (and sometimes mom) into the woods and fields looking for not only ants but any form of insect life that can teach the three us a thing or two! They definitely have given me more to look forward to spring and summer.

Thank you for posting today!
My interest for ants has made me and my girlfriend have a new hobby! Raising ants and observing them grow/work is one of the greatest experiences one can have!
My interest in ants has impacted my life in that it made me more aware of how delicate and perfectly balanced the nature you are trying to emulate is, and how complex natural structures are.
Ant keeping has impacted me in a calm manner by helping me relieve stress when watching them and now when ever I see a ant I be sure to get a good 10 second look at them to learn more.
My life has been impacted on ants because of being inside all day playing video games, i watched your videos and you have inspired me to like ants. Also when you told us about naptial flights, i listened to what you said and i whent for a walk out in a warm and humid day then i suddenly start seeing thousands of queen ants. I really liked that first experience of my life with ants. Now i really want to make my own colony of ants. I really like your videos and hopefully you saw this comment!! I will always watch every single video you upload. Thank you!
Nice video, best one so far.
Your videos are like short documentaries.
You keep progressing in every upload good job Jordan.
the interest in ants has impacted life by making me care more about animal and actually see all insect in a different which i find really cool
The way that ants have impacted my life is the fact that they made me more responsible patient
It has impacted my life by learning how interesting ants are and trying to give a positive description to people who don't like ants.
One of the best things about this channel is audio. The music is not over the top and not over dramatic. Not to mention your voice
It has changed my life, ants entered my dreams shortly after entering my life, It’s changed the way I see the world around me, oriented me towards the diversity in this world opened me to a whole new side of life and it’s shaping the way I see my future, I now want to word with theses animals and share their amazing adaptation with others by showing them first hand what theses animals are capable off
You deserve much more subscribers. This is my favorite ant channel!
So much better than Ants Canada. I'm so happy to have a channel with a hugh inventory that just gives interesting footage and information that doesn't clickbait or base his content on dramatic storylines.
By becoming interested in ants I now notice the little things in nature and my own life. Ants are so careful in every little task they do and by keeping ants that teaches me to do the same. Overall ants teach me to take great care and time even doing the little things in life.
This channel has ALOT of potential! Really hope you stick with it!
before getting in to ants didn't think bugs could really do much. but after seeing them more i've realized they pretty smart how to separate their waste and how they share food. it makes them seem a lot more human. and now i see this more and more in animals
I am 13 and have always been interested in ants, it has impacted my life and your videos make it 1000x better. I have spend a little to much time looking at ants, my dad always kills ants “because they are pests” and i always say “stop and take a look at them” but he wont listen. But none the less i have a ant colony of harvester ants (mess or barbarus) and there doing great. I hope antkeeping wil impact my life even more!!
Since starting to keep ants and learn more about them, it has brought me back to my nature loving roots. Just by taking a few minutes out of my day and enjoying the world around me.
my interest in ants has changed from what i knew about them before and now has changed so much. in the summer i go outside for more than an hour a day just watching how they move and interact. ants have made me do lots of more outdoor activity's like going hiking to look for queens and look at how the ants make progress over the coarse of a while.
Antkeeping made me meet new people and made me find out that my country has a great antkeeping community from all ages. It's great to share knowledge and fascination with this group whilst keeping all kinds of ants and learn more about nature and its secrets!
It’s impacted me because I have become more aware of the environment, especially the world of small insects. Ants have not only made me more interested about them, but also more interested in insects in general.
Keeping ants has impacted me as a person because I used to think they were pests, but now they are my favourite creature. It has also turned me to learn about other insects such as termites, springtails, crickets and so much more!
It has helped me get through a lot of things I struggle with anxiety and depression but it keeps me distracted, It has also made me become more aware of how much ants affect the ecosystem
My interest in ants impacted my life by making me go outside more and becoming more active, I used to stay indoors playing video games all day, but since I discovered ant keeping I am always studying and observing ants and other insects
I have problems with panic attacks and depression, and the one thing that helps me more then my mountain of pills is feeding my ants and watching there cheer joy and appreciation, I love watching them quickly racing back to there mother and queen and almost fighting each other for the right to feed there mother. I can watch them for hours. My ants are one of the best things that happened and impacted my life in such a great way!
watching the ants helps to calm me down when i'm stressed which has become particularly useful now i'm at university. i study sociology and keeping ants has helped me to understand how their societies work. next year i'm taking a module on animal sociology and societies and plan on writing an essay on ant societies as i feel that we as humans can learn so much from them.
When i started keeping ants 🐜 it gave me a wider view of the world around me and helped me improve myself by not wasting my spare time and gave me something to study and love
Beautiful video, loved it
My interest in ants has inspired me to this year go out and found my first colony of ants. It has also allowed me to branch out and watch many new channels and people I never knew about like this one. I cant wait to find my first queen.
Ants have impacted my life a lot even though I down have any that I own. They make me more interested in nature and also helped me overcome my fear of some insects. Now I can watch ant videos for hours. I might get an ant colony in the summer. Fingers crossed
Ants have affected my life in that they have led me down a path of exploring new things and learning more, the ant keeping hobby has also helped me build a stronger bond with my freinds when we interact about ants and share our colonies and other ant related things.
Discovering ants has helped get me out and active again after struggling with depression. not only that, but they've helped show that not only fluffy and cuddly pets help with mental health, I now recommend ants and other invertebrate to people who feel stressed anxious or lonely, but can't afford to get a dog or cat! So far it's worked every time!
finally a new video and not only that but also showcasing my favorite spieces
My interest in ants has impacted my life in many ways ! I'm way more interested in biology and nature now, so it has impacted my studies, and I even want (like you) to spread this interest to other people, so I started talking about it and now I even make videos on RUclips to share this passion.
My interest in ants changed my life by giving me a interest in nature. Now I go on walks all the time and I appreciate how every plant and animal has become perfect through evolution.
When i was in middle school, i always had an intrest in ants. Durring reccess and lunch, id go outside to feed the wild ants at my school. This kept going until after watching some of yours and ants canada's videos thati decided to keep ants. After many failed attempts, ant keeping has taught me to be veeeeerrrrrrry patient. And that humans arent the first at everything (eg farming and slavery and projectile weapons) now in chemestry, it has inspired me to learn more about mature and the different molecues, species and just every thing related to ants. Im an official ant FANATIC.
I’ve always been interested in ants and other insects. By learning about them they’ve shaped me in the kid I’am today. Ants have impacted me in a way that I’am more caring for the environment and it’s wildlife.
Keeping ants has given me a whole new perspective on life, it really has shown me that nature is everywhere and can come in different shapes and sizes, and that you should always look where you are walking.🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Ant keeping impacted my life quite a lot probably because they were my first pets (except from brine shrimp). They showed me how to care for others and made me much more observant. I started seeing ants and other insects at places where I passed by inattentive in the past. Furthermore ants teached me patients and being bored became an unknown feeling (almost). I have five self caught lasius Niger colonies (common but amazing). ~greetings from Germany
Literally my favorite type of ant. I just found one about an hour ago on accident while I was working! First one I have found since I became a fan of them so I was unreasonably excited
My interest in ants has impacted my life the most by tuning me into nature. Now wherever I go I am always thinking where there would be an ant colony, where a queen might start her founding chamber. I've found over 20 different colonies in my 1.1 acre yard and love to go into nature and find more.
My interest in ants has made me understand even the tiniest creatures can change the world as some species of ants spread seeds helping the biosphere this has taught me so much about our planet and animals
Any keeping has been an awesome experience so far, it really has been quite fascinating. I’m currently keeping 6 colonies, and it’s been a great way of stress relief just watching them as I’m currently doing my HSC... Thanks heaps for all of the content, keep it up 💪👍
Haha *ant
My interest in ants have allowed me to have a wider understanding of insects and their small world that despite its small size, is just as beautiful and bewildering as ours. I learned much about these small ants and their BIG impact on the world such as in their native ecosystems and their invaded. These fun size critters are simply an aspect of nature that shall fascinate me till death. 🐜❤️
The reason ants have impacted my life is that they have enabled me to not only look at species of insects the same way but also now arachnids ( I had a major phobia of them) . Because in eco-systems they all depend on each and every individual species in order to survive. always liked other animals like reptiles, mammals, amphibians, birds and much more. But now I spend a lot of my time learning about ants. And all the other creatures that often go unnoticed. I have even just recently started my own ant colony! So I am glad that I have been able to change my view on these little guys as well as other creatures.
My life has been changed because i now respect them a whole lot more, it's fascinating watching them in the wild. Now i have my own ant colonies and I love to watch them. Their universe is so much different than ours!
Interacting with ants has allowed me to get close to and watch one aspect of biology that has always fascinated me as I enjoy animals that live in colony's and I have always liked the way the hyeracy in ant colony's have worked
Another fantastic video Jordan! Trap jaws are a tedious but very interesting species to keep, its crazy how much power they have behind those jaws.
My interest in ants started when I was around the age of five but then the interest had faded away until about a few months ago. I stumbled upon your channel because of my favorite teacher she had many ant nests up to eight recently she has been told that she has stage one cancer in the liver. Her love for ants has robed off on me. the love for ants that she has helped me not think of the problems she will face ahead I hope every day that she will be ok I hope so hard that I recently found a queen fire ant that I have named after her because of her burning passion. This Is how my love for ants have impacted me as a person. Ps. love your channel I will tell her about it and your shop when she gets better.
Wait 5 jears
As i discovered my love to ants my interest got more and more towards nature and environment. So finally i ended up studying biology and keeping lot of different ants and other insects. I will never regret discovering ants in that beautiful way.
Cheers
I'm in love with this video! It's SOOOOOO perfect!! Congrats!
Ants sparked my interest in invertebrates and if I wouldn’t have seen a documentary about them, then I probably wouldn’t sit here with a shelf full of fascinating invertebrates and the plan to study biology next semester.
Ants basically helped the younger me to find out, what I want for my future - I want to study biology and zoology and I hope to work in animal-based education and teach children about the importance of ants and other invertebrates in our ecosystem.
Ant keeping changed me as a person because I was un-decided of what I would like to be as a grown up:Actor,Comedian,Fotographer...Until I saw one of your videos and I knew what I would want to be...A ANT KEEPER!...I hope you all have a wonderful day...Bye!
P.S
Love Your Videos
By keeping ants I developed some sort of obsession for them. My girlfriend is going crazy with al the story's I tell her about my ants. And next year I wanne do a masters in entomology. So they had quite a big impact on my life!
I started ant keeping when one if my friends told me about this channel and it sounded amazing I could imagine a rising empire of my own and it seemed fascinating that ants are actuly a lot like humans how they tackle care of one another
Ants made me aware of nature more than before. Getting more interested and curious about insects and animals such as tarentula, scorpions and more. They made me really curious about the tiny world under our feet
I started ant keeping one year ago,and at that time, I got the 27th place in school,I was very dissapointed and sad.But when I saw Your video,I got interested in ants and started to catch ants during their nuptial flight.The first ant I caught was a big Camponotus Parius in my yard,and I kept looking for more queens.It got me distracted from my exam grade and I felt happy again. #ANTKEEPERFOREVER
My interest in ants has impacted me in so many ways, I have a much bigger respect for nature,I have an interesting new hobby, I can care and nurture something I truly love,and last of all, I can connect with amazing people who also have an interest in the same hobby!
My interest in ants has become my new hobby. Or at-least I'm trying to make it one. It is distracting me from a lot of troubles in life. Troubles that I can't directly do anything about as it is not within my power. I haven't had a hobbies in over 9 years due to dealing with many issues in my life. Mental Health. Physical Health. Relationships. I've watched ant videos every day for almost a year. It brings me joy to know I have an interest in something again.
Ant keeping had a huge impact on my life. Ever since I watched AntsCanada and you I wanted to have a queen ant so bad but I could not find one. It made me outside A LOT so I can find a queen. Ant keeping made me want to buy a queen ant from a GAN farmer. If I didn’t ant keep I would not have met him. Now ant keeping made me stay up at night to watch my ants. Whenever I am away I always worry about my ants. I always think that I should feed them more. Ant keeping also made me use a website called “Formiculture”. If I didn’t ant keep I would not have met all of these ant keepers. They told me when queens were flying so I can have more colonies. This is why ant keeping changed my life. Also it made me know what species I have which is Camponotus Clarithorax, Pogo Califorisus or something, and solonopsis invicta. THANK GOD FOR ANTS!!
