- In this video I show you guys how my pet ant colony reached over 20 workers in just one week. You can use this same technique to grow your colony's too, however ensure you do your research on the species you keep before trying anything like this, I can't stress that enough!

Very Interesting experiment! I wondered if this would work in the past. Great Job!
Thanks man! Definitely worth a try, if you ever do it I’d love to see a video!
Sup dude
I found the same queen too! Great to hear they will be immortal, though I can't find workers and brood to boost her.
They look sick
I’m raising my first Lasius Brevicornis Queens. I have two w/ brood and a handful of workers. I got to experience her laying an egg and was amazed.
That’s awesome man!! It is a very special and rare moment!
Would love to meet you one day dude!
Ayyye me too man!
What's the official name for a collection of Eli's?!?
Yay, Ant Invasion in! Mind = blown. I did once have a founding colony with a dozen workers face disaster when their queen died. Out of desperation, I introduced the workers to a replacement queen and was stunned when it actually worked and the colony itself didn't die off. I'd always thought that was a complete fluke and something that never really happened in real life. Yet again, it's always an education watching this channel!
This is cool I knew you could do it and I am editing my first ant video so yeah I’ll tell you when it’s uploaded and I hope your colany goes well
Yes bro I love to hear that! And thank you!
very cool video, 👍
Thanks man!!
Glad everything is working out :) there lovely girls and genuine nice people . Enjoy them :p
Thanks mate, I love the tips you gave me, so far they’re going quite well!!
Wow this is so sick I need to try this 🤩🤩, love the new vid
Thanks dude!
Great video very interesting shame can do this technique with more colonies
Thanks man! Yes it is quite a shame but it does showcase why these ants have been able to spread all across the world!!!
Recently I introduced around 20 tubes of rhytidoponera metallica founding queens together. Largest tube had 6 workers, 10 tubes with 1-3 workers and 10 with only cocoons/eggs/larvae.. its been about a month and they have been going really well.
Ayyyyyyye heck yes dude!!!! I’d love to see this! Is it something worth trying in September when they fly like crazy?
@@ant.invasion all my rhytidoponera tubes were several months old at the time of combining them. I was getting to the point of having to either give them away or release them. Tbh I wasn't expecting the success rate on them when first captured hence why I had so many. One night I was cleaning some tubes and had 2 tubes get in contact and the interaction was similar to this video except they just sat and talked to each other lol... they were so chilled I just kept adding them together. Tonight has been the first time I actually checked the tube itself and they are going very well. Not sure on exact count but roughly 23-25 queens and similar worker count.
I kept my largest of the founding colonys seperate to the rest though. 1 queen with about 10 workers. They are by far one of my fav ants!
I did have some casualties but very minimal.. I tried to seperate the aggro and reintroduce them later which seemed to work initially.. in total I lost only 1 queen and 1 worker(sofar) 3 queens and 2 workers stayed out of the tube (together) but within the first week they all joined the rest
Why did you stop uploading
Love this species
Theyre awesome guys! I've heard they also produce like runts is that correct?
Runts as in like smaller workers from time to time yes that's correct heh my 8 queen colony with 1000 workers 1-3 Queens produce smaller workers from time to time
Dude that’s awesome, how long have you had that colony going for?
Did this to my pheidole and it worked with 3 queens
Do you think it’s wrong to take workers from another colony and put them to your queen even though they can join foreign tetra bica ants
That’s a very good point your bring up, I personally think for species like this it’s perfectly fine, only because theyd do something similar in the wild! What do you think?
Bro plz Upload a video on this qeen ant
nice and cute ants i love ants wby
what sp are your big headed ants
whats your thoughts on keeping native ants vs keeping non native ants?
mmmm it really depends like for me here in Australia I think you shouldn’t keep non native ants, but for other countries if you have the right permits and they won’t completely take over the natural ecosystem it can be fine in certain situations!
nice dude!! i remember my mum made me kill my bicarinatum queen because there invasive in aus 😂
oh no way you’re kidding, maybe that’s a level of research I may have missed, yikes!!!
Можно у вас купить зелёноголовый муравей с рабочими
БЕЗ матки или гармегата только рабочимх?
its a queen yes i have
i have a few workers and a queen
Are th3y invasive?
Could I buy one off you please I’ve seen so many please
if I find more I’ll try and remember to let you know, they’re such a cool species right?!
@@ant.invasion thank you
@@ant.invasion and do you know if there in victoria
First
Love to see it!
Hey bud. Interesting video, but please try and avoid click baity titles and screen shots. I left ants Canada ages ago because he went from providing useful information about ants and any keeping to trying to copy the styling and drama of reality TV. Not only that, When people search for a video on adding workers to a different queen they won't find your video....
Yeah well said, and I agree with you! I usually try and avoid clickbaity titles and thumbnails so perhaps I should make a proper tutorial on this subject as well in the future? Thanks dude!
