READ: I can't believe you guys did this to me again.....
Like last time the tasting will be in the next video about the ants. I just posted an ant video (before the goal was reached) so it might take a while but it will be here..
This was the last time I set a challenge like this..
check out my patreon: patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems
LOL WE HAD TO BRO!
will there be a part 2?
Bon Appétit.

I love the narration, it sounds like someone who just got shot but isn't in too much pain.
That is very specific 🤣
@@HomemadeEcosystems that's because I'm from Brazil
I really enjoyed the narration--very droll.
Like teddy rosevelt in that speech he made in 1911?
This is that best way to describe this holy shit
I'm glad you finally got a sponsorship that pays in something useful, like ants
True, it is my first sponsorship actually !
@@HomemadeEcosystems we need to rally for the tiny shovel/rake sponsor's
It is well deserved! I wish I could get him that rolex tho...
@@TheNinjaLF yes
@@HomemadeEcosystemsJesus loves you
I'm not even an ant guy, and I watched this whole thing. You're actually pretty funny, and the presentation was fairly charming.
you look like an ant guy to me mate
Ditto!
i am an ant guy and it makes me happy, that ants stuff can atract non ant guys.
I own books I am sophisticated
@@jeffdaniels7237That's pretty cool, actually.
I literally laughed out loud when you described the worker carrying the other ant ‘carefully’, making sure to bang her head on everything 😂😭
Same
A lot of people mistake the bubble-wrap for protective packaging. You are supposed to use it to communicate with your new ants using Morse Code, which was invented by ants. Samuel Morse stole the idea from them. Usually you will be provided with a large enough sheet of bubble-wrap for a short greeting and to provide the map coordinates for the location where you want the colony to establish itself. If you just randomly pop the bubble-wrap your may confuse the ants or anger them. Congratulations on your hipster ant colony where deconstructed versions of popular ant dishes are served on sheets of rock.
if that is the case I pissed them off hard 😂
@@HomemadeEcosystemsyou need to hibernate your other ant colonies
@@HomemadeEcosystemscan you do an ant war
Hi
@@morganlohrey8410 Hi
I like this guys humor, very to the point while also sounding dead tired lol
1:45 "But surprisingly, these actually smell... disgusting." LMAO That was perfect. From the dry delivery to the subversion of expectations, that was just perfect.
"Ameisenausbruchsschutz" literally means "ant escape protection"
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Gotta love German engineering.
He pronounce it almost correctly that was impressive!
Bist du deutsch?
Didn't even watch it yet and I already know you named every last one of those ants, BOB
Ofcourse they are all Bob except the queen she is called Bob
Ah yes. Bobbete.
Bob all the way lesss gooo
There all females so that doesn’t make sense lol
G4u
Can’t say I’ve ever wanted to keep ants before, but the equipment seems to be really high quality!
Yes antstore is definitely on the expensive side of antkeeping but it is indeed high quality!
Dude, your dry delivery on your quick and witty jokes is gold! 😆
As a child, I got an Uncle Milton’s ant farm for Christmas one year… never ordered ants, just caught a few from the yard and put them in…didn’t realize that doomed them til they died. Your video, was entertaining and informative…your ant home, amazing. It makes me want to try again here 45 years later 😎
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 read the room man. Your the reason religion has turned into a big joke
“The most important part of any keeping is… ants.”
Wow. Riveting information, I would never have guessed. I’m so glad you’re the expert!
Love the tiny shovel. It’s a special guest!
Yeah I love to share my knowledge..
Love your enthusiasm.
I know right
I love this because I've always wanted an ant colony, but didn't want the worry of accidentally killing them. Please feel free to post more about them. 🐜❤️
I will !
Yeah…. I did that-

Aw man, this makes me miss my Carpenter ants. (They're not dead or anything, they're just in diapause and won't be active again until its less heccin' cold.)
I have an extreme phobia of insects and bugs, but your videos are helping me desensitize myself. Your tone and humor is great!
If it makes you feel any better most/alot of bugs are harmless
Fun fact there's tiny spiders livin in your face and makin out right now just google it and you find out im not lyin 😅 now u can forget that insect phobia 😂
@@cjvand3080usually for phobias people are very aware of that (mostly because people always say that when we say we’re scared of something) it’s usually the way they look that makes people scared
@@corporatecapitalism I know, I mean I can understand why
I mean I'm not scared of bugs but just like most things there are certain bugs I hope not to meet if you get what I mean
@@cjvand3080 Thank You, that was incredibly helpful! 😊
Be carefull with the plug at 3:02 - if it gets too cold/warm they can just fall off. I had to vacuum a few hundreds of my Messor one time because of that.
Thanks for the warning! I already put some tape on it but now I'm going to put some extra to be sure 😂

I really enjoy your ant colony unboxing videos. I started watching your channel because I'm pretty apprehensive when it comes to insects and I am trying to learn to appreciate them more lol. So thank you for making your videos!
I used to be anxious about insect keeping, too. So I put a praying mantis in a terrarium next to my bed. She is the first thing I see every morning, and to her, I am a necessary evil. If you can get past that nightmare, the rest is no problem. 😉
@@jLoRaineK I don't think I'm ready for that step yet hahahah!
Always looking forward to whenever this guys posts. Makes my Day 1000 times better
Your narration is great. These videos are already interesting, and your comedic narration makes it that much better. Great work.
Do you want ants? Because thats how you get ants.
If I ran a tiny shovel company, I would Sponsor you XD
Start one!
This is my longest video so I hope your attention span can handle it, mine definitely can't...
Also 80k likes is probably impossible, I hope...
If you want to be the first to see the ants move:patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems
Only 80k likes? I'm gonna smash that like button 3 times for you! You'll get there no problem but ugh don't eat the cricket jam. That's for the ants.
@@BrenIrwin I tasted the cricket jam already 🤣this time it is blanched crickets
@@BrenIrwin We've never seen him, maybe he is an ant?

@@HomemadeEcosystems don't do it. 🤢 I'll still like you if you don't. Plus, it's for the ants. 🐜
if diago stopped drinking tequila and took up a hobby😭😭😭
Uhhh, tequila
Ok, now I am invested in this colony. I hope there is a part 2.
I'm definitely going to make a part 2!
RUclips suggested this tonight during my insomnia. Wasn't put to sleep and now i'm ready for part 2!
For science.
The worker in 12:17 is indeed a worker that recently eclosed(the stage where an pupa turns into an adult in complete metamorphosis). Her exoskeleton is lighter coloured as her exoskeleton needs time to harden and darken.
Thanks for the info!
i think its pupae not pupa
I had a few ant colonies when I was young and now I need one as an adult. Thank you for your awesome videos. Your content is great.
Thanks!
I have quite the same Antstore digfix nest and outworld for my Camponotus Ligniperdia, for when the colony gets big enough to move in.
I made a small chamber and entrance in the digfix for them, to give them a good start.
The algorithm brought me here but I stayed for the low key hilarious narration.
Cushions are also because they are all glass, it keeps them from shattering. They have them on all glass aquariums without plastic frames.
This showed up in my recommended and your sense of humor hooked me immediately. Absolute banger of a video can’t wait to see how they progress.
imagine being packaged then shipped to a species just to be recorded and published to a web where millions watch you for their entertainment
Lol
Your deadpan narration is a light in my days.
11:54 That's pupal transport. To waste less energy, a worker gets into pupal (last stage of brood) position, and another one grabs her and carries her.
Another note. Isn't that nest way too big for that colony? That nest is made for colonies with thousand of workers. (not the sand one, the one with the premade tunnels). The nest being so big can stress them and they will also probably deposit trash in the nest, causing potentially fatal mold outbreaks.
Edit: I just watched the end of the video, my bad
I was suprized about that, as i usually see them used as expansion nests, vs right off the bat
i think its pupae not pupal
I have been keeping ants for about 3 years and I love watching them but I love it even more that you are now making videos of them❤
Imy situation is completely the same i als have been keepeing ants for around 3 years
How old can they get?
@@GiulerPowerGamerthe queen about 20 years and the workers around 2 years
@VB_stumbleguys this little thing lives 20 years?? Wow, and a Mantis just lives 14 months...
Ye I know pretty amazing 🤩
That crippled ant is such a trooper 😢 so brave
Messor is a really great starter species. They grew fast and are easy to feed becuase the seeds last them for weeks. Messor likes dry terrariums/arenas/nest parts to collect and store seeds. No hydrometers needed.
No acid, no stinger, claws for crushing only (the big ones can pinch, if they get you in your nail bed, but not brake skin) . Messor is an awesome species to keep.
I have a Messor barbarus colony for 6 yeats now and it isn awesome. Stated with 21 animals and now it is uncountable.
The return of tiny rake and tiny shovel! Thank you for having them make a reappearance!! Good video!
I'm here for tiny tools and I'm not disappointed
A man who has his priorities in order. 0:49
Subbed.
Welcome!
Dont forget to make expansions for the colony when theydd bigger
Yeah I know but they should have enough space for a year or 2 now
Its a good day when homemade ecosystems posts 😅
10:30 bro accidentally enabled fall damage for ants
yeah I really didn't know they took fall damage, at least not from such a low height
3:35-hearing I think it means "stay the f in the terrarium oil" was excellent. 🤣🤣🤣
"I'm trying to get sponsored by the tiny shovel company."
LoL
That got a like click.
1:33 Remember guys, that in that video, he gave the cricket jam to the ants before tasting it, and even they found it disgusting
unfortunately that is true
Good to see your army of Bob expanding!
We are Bob
“I did not know that ants take fall damage” *A N T T E S T S I F F A L L D A M A G E I S R E A L*
10:35 Fall damage was personal 😂
I really can't get enough of your content lol,wish this video was an hour long or smth
I do too... I think he'll get there, producing long content is so hard tho, keeping the attention for so long but with his relentless humor, it should be easy!
this is bringing me so much joy i can't explain why
I think it's probably Bob. He's a very uplifting little soul.
@@jLoRaineK yeah Bob makes the difference in my life
Man I love your videos!
My old roommate was from Brazil and I totally hear similarities in your voice and mannerisms!
I find it very comforting and you’re also hilarious.
That crippled worker probably landed absolutely horribly, because they really CAN'T take fall damage due to the fact that like anything smaller than a squirrel can survive almost any fall mostly okay with bugs being pretty much invincible to falling due to their terminal velocity (the fastest they can fall naturally) being too low to cause any damage
Came to your videos for the ants. Came back for your delivery. And Bob.
Love your content. Can't wait for more.
These seed gathering ants are pretty cool. Can't wait to see more! 😁👍
“She might be a queen, but she’s not going to be winning any beauty contest”😂😂😂
I love it!
Ameisen Ausbruchsschutzöl, das Wort hab ich ja selbst noch nie gehört, danke für dei Aufklärungsarbeit, die du hier zur Verfügung stellst.
I hadn’t even seen your content properly and I had already bookmarked your channel. I love what you do and your commentary makes it better than I could have imagined. I can’t wait to see more videos on your ant farm and the like!
What a great way to start a video! With a unboxing :D. Thanks for another great video!
I know 🤣
I'm obsessed with your delivery of the different steps 😭
I have a few water ecosystems at home. So fun to watch. I love your humor!
Babe, have up! Homemade Ecosystems just dropped another banger!
THIS IS AWESOME??? I don't know how I was recommended this, but I am not complaining. Your humor is amazing, and I love these silly ants!
Thank you for helping these ants lives from being trapped. You are such a a nice person
become fan of your explanation at first sight man great job thankyou for your hard work
I have angularis too, and they’re super cute later when they get different types of workers. They’re also super messy 😂
I can't wait for the first major workers! And I already noticed that they are messy 😂
@@HomemadeEcosystems they don’t call seed eaters “messy messors” for no reason 😂
you can tell which one is the queen, by putting a powerful microphone against the glass,
and you will hear a tiny voice singing
"Is this real life, or just fantasy, caught in a landslide, no escape from reality"
that was the only funny "that's [not] what she said" joke I've heard in over a decade!
Nice job bro :)
Queen turned up to inspect the army working! Very British 😂
Wow an exotic species!
This has potential for a desert terrarium but for now you should let them rest and grow a few months until they get their first majors
True!
I liked the video to feed you cricket paste. Bon appetit!
I don't think we will get to 80k but I thought that too the last time...
I don’t know why this showed up in my feed but I’m so happy. Your commentary is Gold! 😂 Ive loled repeatedly and I’m not even half way thru. Thank you
These ants are oddly cute! I've always been interested in ant farms, but never owned one. Thanks for another amusing video complete with tiny shovel time!
I can't beleive this guy made an ant farm the most entertaining subject on RUclips. 😅
He is not the first one, but definitely the funniest!
I’m currently camping out on my sick kids floor and this absolute gem of a channel popped up in my recommendations. Thanks dude this was so wholesome and funny.
genuinely riveted by the presentation and i can't articulate why, hope the ants are doing well
The narration is amazing. Talk about dry humour.
Tiny shovels, ant poking...I knew today would be a good day when I woke up!🐜🦗 If you don't mind me asking, how much space does the entire set up require from end to end, the way you have it set up?
I measured it and it is about 85cm so a lot! But you could make the tubes shorter or longer so they can curve and the nests can be placed in front of each other
E
This is so interesting. Imagine if other beings were watching us the same way? Just a thought. 😂
You can use talcum powder and rubbing alcohol to make an escape proof terrarium. Just brush this mixture on boundaries and the ants can't cross it, it is cheaper than the current method you are using
Dude these ant videos and the way you shoot them are dope. Keep doing these!!!
11:46 - 12:15 I can’t remember laughing this hard for a while 😂😂😂😂
i love you dude keep uploading pls
3:26
with no emotions at all: "great success..."
reminds me elcor race from Mass Effect :D
I am not an ant guy either - but I am an uncle - and still enjoyed this video. I like the humor, and he sounds so much like another RUclipsr that I kept waiting for him to talk about slapping his base (guitar).
I know who you are talking about 😅
fun fact: ants are British because they all colonize.
💀
A little bit different they colonize their own place or area 😅
I’m British so this is rude to me
@@Lcfc4life1 I don't know why but ok 👌
Dude, that actually IS sad. No joke. I didn't know ants could become crippled/paralyzed. Especially due to falling. I truly believed ants didn't get hurt from falling at any height. Apparently that's not true. It is amazing but sad to learn that.
Yeah some people commented that they don't take fall damage but I saw it fall and it was like that after ...
When you use those tubes again run hot water over them before connecting. It softens them us for easier connections.
you've earned my subscription mate. going to watch more of your videos after this one and seriously going to look into getting my own ant colony
well as i make this comment there's 64k likes only 16k more to go!
I'd like to see the part two for this 😊
Honestly never thought I’d watch a whole video on ants and keep paying attention. This was both informative and entertaining!
Your commentary is very humorous and amusing. Great content, nice ants!
I came out of curiosity for the ants and stayed because of your hilarious commentary.
I didn't enjoy watching a video like this one for a long time.
Keep on going. For science, of course. 😁
First time watching one of your videos, seen the whole thing. Your voice is super calming. Keep at it.
One of the best narrated videos I've watched.
First time seeing one of your videos and I love it, all the jokes are great and I love the vibes
