  • This ant colony of the species Meranoplus bicolor is my current favourite ant colony I'm currently keeping and in this video I take you through the journey if the colony's development starting from just a pregnant queen ant all the way to a complete colony. It is also a special ant species to me because we were the first to discover their existence in the country in which I live. Introducing the awesome Species 555! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    You deserve praise as a content creator, setting up these different colonies and then telling their individual stories is just awesome. It gets me totally invested in every one of these colonies and I always find myself waiting for new updates on them. Getting to almost 5 million subs with such a niche hobby as ant keeping shows how good your storytelling is and how well you manage your channel.

  • @SanelaLucente

    A fun story of mine from about 2-3 weeks ago. I did not have to go anywhere to catch a queen ant, because her majesty herself paid me a visit. I spotted one crawling on my pillow. I caught her into a small plastic container, put a wet cotton ball in there with her and released her the next morning. Thanks Mikey for your videos because I would have no clue what to do with her, other than throw her out from my balcony and potentially kill her. I hope she was successfully mated and started her own colony. Also she seemed happy to be back in nature.

  • @Storyblocksssss

    I still remember the blue ant 🐜 you found when you were on a vication. It would be cool if you have that blue ant species in your Ant house 😊

    Antscanada you are the exactly the one who made me fall in love with ants because i remember as a kid i would drop water to ant hills when I was a kid but you inspired me not to kill them because they are fascinating creatures and without them our world would have not been it self you inspired me that Mikey and now you are saving different ant species and more cooler you discovered a new ant species itself so please Mikey continue what you are doing with the ants and Exactly you are my favorite ant youtuber and hope you reach 6M subs soon ❤️

    I legit dont even like ants that much but I have been following this channel for LITERAL years. Learning about the world is interesting and the way ants act is very curious and interesting to me. Not even to mention this is quite the watch, entertaining, and nice background sound. Long term non-ant lover watcher, here for many more years. We nearing the 5Million AC-fam!

  • @user-tr5nw2pi3t

    You my friend are a legend this is my first ever comment on RUclips and your videos are worth it thank you souch for what you do for this community and for ant science and ant husbandry for fans around the world cheers Harold from Australia I've always been interested in ants and watching your videos has made me love them

  • @i_like_turtles6067

    Ik how much you hear this but i really cant thank you enough AC you got me into ant keeping and have taught me so much! I would also like to say how much i ADORE these ants, I cant explain it i love when you post and always tune in to watch it but the feeling i got when you show cased this queen was AMAZING it was like i raised her myself and considering I'm very new to the hobby so none of my queen have laid eggs yet so that was awesome! ANT LOVE FOREVER <3

  • @Ladybassguitarplayer

    Congratulations Mikey!!! I knew you would get that recognition. ❣ I am looking forward, so much, to Species 555 moving into their new home!

  • @RazelolGaming

    I can't wait to hear more about this colony, I recently made a satellite nest for my ants and all i had to do is put a roach and they came flooding in. There's over 1000 of them and I can't wait to use your tips to make them thrive more.

  • @Wan2ML_DragonMasterSCE

    Do your best to grow the Species 555 colony much bigger, I think they could be called the 555th Hunters, Spiny/Spiky Hunters or The Spades which I like the most.

  • @Hebiacz

    I think name for the colony should keep 555 in the name, and their setup should be something in the quantity of five, for example five little islands connected to eachother or something. I really like the idea of keeping everything 5 related, especially because this species is number 555 in the Phillippines but also because of that soon AC channel will reach the milestone of 5 million subs. I think its a great idea. Ant love forever ❤
