Cats usually only bark when they see something really ugly. I was confused at first as your ant colonies are extremely beautiful but when you did your face reveal I was able to connect the dots!
🤣sounds about right
Lmao, thx for the giggle :D
Are you DuTcH?@@HomemadeEcosystems
Lol
@@HomemadeEcosystemsWonderful since of humor 😜 🤣😂!
I see your biology degree is coming in handy. I'm glad you identified that animal as a cat, i would have been confused without your help
Yeah I studied 5 long years to get this smart
@@HomemadeEcosystems have you actually studied biology or is it just a hobby?
@@multiarray2320 I actually have a masters degree in biology
@@HomemadeEcosystems In what specialization tho?
@@zoidiect first 3 years were general. Last 2 years I choose ecology and evolution as specialization
wake up mom homemade ecosystems is giving an ant update
You can just call him he
Was your mom hibernating?
@@Barbaryotaku lol
yay
@@Barbaryotakuno thats her dad
4:32 bro has plants vs zombies lawn, im so jealous
So am I
3:55 Well, you gotta admit that the ant was right.
That is indeed a nice rock. 😆
my friend: "do you have a crush on anyone?"
me: (thinking about soldier ant) "it's complicated..."
🤣
I LOVE soldier ant
I honestly giggle every time the image and the rock music plays
As an American I appreciated the temperature conversion, thanks!😂
Bro stole my comment.
Funny enough the ant colony at 4:20 happened to be the yellow meadow ant (Lasius Flavus) a very close relative to the black garden ant
Yes thank you if I couldn’t find it I would say myself
Tell your cat I said "Woof,,, woof woof woof,,,, awoof" She'll know what I mean. (definitely not a way to activate a sleeper agent so don't worry.)
Cats bark when they’re happy. They also love to chase mailmen. They only vibrate when low on battery.
They meow not bark 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Came for the ants. Staying for the dry humor.
So if I eat blanched crickets, I can look like Bob? I want to be that swole, and I don't care if my antennae get effed up. Thank you for the keen health advice!
Yes
"for the americans, that's 15°C worth of farenheit" 😂
''Can i pet that dawg?''
Such nice voice you got for telling, learning so much from you.
The conflict between Bob and Karen grows each day. It is exactly this sort of riveting intensity that makes this channel great. I, literally, could not look away.
2:52 that is a huge ant you got there
You're the Bob Ross of ant terrariums.
Lmao well put!! Agreed 😂
Never thought I would become this invested in ants but here I am.
The soldier ant with muscles with rock music always makes me laugh in a way if its spammed
Lasius flavus is the yellow ants in the garden, they get called the meadow ant as mostly found in fields and pastures this species can have multiple queens
Me: NOO HE BROUGHT BACK THE SOLDIER ANT 😂
I could listen to this guy for hours!!😂😂
The comedy is on point man love it
Aaaaaaa! The isopods are so cute!! 😍
You ever thought about getting a seed eating species of ant?
No that you mention it yes I'm thinking about it
@@HomemadeEcosystemswould you like to have bullets ants? ( i dont have any, just a question yk)
@@FloweijFR bulletants not realy but bull ants maybe
@@HomemadeEcosystemshummmm, maybe you would have to get more experience before getting them, they are a hard species to keep
@@knightaren5577 actually i had them in my Garden for a while, although it wasnt by choice i had them for free. Thata french guiana for ye
Literally, I’ve been watching all of your videos. Not only hilarious but educational 😂This is my new favorite channel now.❤ soldier ant or Bob never gets old😂
Love the Disney movie reference!! 1:45
EDIT:WOW! This is the first time i have ever gotten a heart on a comment!! Thanks Mr Ecosystems!!
No problem😉
@@HomemadeEcosystems Bro should have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 subscibers!!
I genuinely loved the close up shot of the ant eating
Not only is this informative, but it's also very funny! 😂
5:10 your honesty is appreciated.
Ants Canada drags out a 3 minute video with 12 while talking about nonsense. I can't stand it. You always can push 5 on their videos and get to the actual video start.
Here we got jokes, good shots, and a few things we can learn. Ifor example always did it backward: i made water-sugar - no wonder they didn't like it! >3
I like alternating the two - having variety makes every option more enjoyable, which is exactly why channels like this one are so important to have :D
7:47 ohh, one have escaped to the left of the tube there..
It is running inside the tube, but it kinda looks like it escaped yes
4:30 source ... trust me bro hahaha you are amazing 🤣🤣😆😆
This is definitely midnight content. You aren’t like antscanada or lightscameraants you are your own creator and I think your pretty cool 😎 I’ve been watching you for a year now
Wakey Wakey its time for foraging
Super chill videos. I appreciate them. Thanks for the ant updates.
Woke up to see ants getting woke up, neat
take your cat to the vet to be reprogrammed. it was installed with the wrong software
I will do that thanks
😂
I think you just name everything Bob
Patience is the key 🔑
Your cat is awesome.
0:21 🤔 marvel nemesis audio
Low key I look forward to these videos so much
Best face reveal on youtube
@2:50 As someone who identifies as a biologist for the purposes of this comment, I can tell you with 97% certainty that your cat is actually a penguin.
Thanks, that might be what is wrong with her
😅
Its 4:48 in the morming and i just found your channel and have binged 10 videos in a row. You are clearly a comedian and a true videographer sir keep up witht he updates!
Glad you like it!
Who knew ants were secretly planning world domination
I mEaN iTs MiNd BoGgOliNg😮😮😮
5:32 What a cute little isopod!.
Soldier Ant.
Rock music plays in background
Bob
7:58 Don’t give them that nest soon. It is way too big and they will use the chambers as trash areas, mold will emerge, and the ants will die. Additionally, they won’t feel safe and the colonie will grow slower
I won't !
Brooo never stop the commentary you are legend the dry humor is amazing 👏 nothing but laughs threw entire video thank you keep em coming !!!
Absolutely love your channel/content! JUST SUBBED‼️
Welcome!
@@HomemadeEcosystems Thank you! I'm wanting to get back into ant farming. Do you know if any of the Amazon ant enclosures are any good? Any advice is welcomed like exactly what species would you recommend a beginner to start out with?
the chess board is oriented incorrectly, white square always at the bottom right.
Everyone is first till the page is refreshed....
Ain't that the truth
Was wondering when a new video would be out.
I DO enjoy your sense of humor!
i think the yellow ants in you backgarden are lasius flavus because they are a bckgarden species and usually live in softer soil ,but i might be wrong
Yeah I think you are right
my dairy cows will eat at my fingers 😭😭
I'm so happy I found this channel. I've never been so invested in ants.
2:00 i read CRUSHING THOSE for smaller colonies does help and i can confirm. When there only like < 2mm ants or so they cant really carry or crush those seeds.
I saw them THROW OUT the hard yellow ones and take grass and others with them! Only later on they also took the yellows...
Thanks I'll try that!
Try a tiny mortar.
Mine is 7cm. Ideal.
Can also crush charcoal tablets before mixing them with earth/substrate. Charcoal kills mold but ants don't mind. In fact a few species gather it and place it around the nest. I think they know of the effect it has...
Perhaps that's of use someday. I never heard that one mentioned in videos and rarely in forums. Almost a secret tip that might save a colony...
ps. almost forgot: 1 penny sized tablet on ~1-2 glasses worth of earth. Traces are enough. You probably won't even see it.
anyhow have a good one!
The animal that you called a cat is very well, a dog
y just playing you don’t gotta take stuff so seriously
o7 for bob
Today I learned something new. It seems that Lasius fuliginosus or “de glanzende houtmier” is a fascinating ant that is very common in Flanders. Now I will have to go on an expedition to find these little guys. As they mostly live in trees or also in the wood of coffins in graveyards, I will probably go for the first option. Wish me luck
Good luck!
Not much people know this but your reason I started ant keeping I watch ants Canada but you just interested me so much!
That is awesome!
At least he is honest with things
it’s his humor and jokes for me 🤣🤣🤣
I always watch the video for Bob, Bob never disappoints .... Unlike some aspects of the video. Glad Bob always makes up for it. I'm thinking of getting a multi queen colony of Myrmica rubra. But for some reason I always have trouble finding them in my area during nuptial flights. Maybe I should get out of the city once a while, or you know out of the house might be a good start too.
Your voice is very calm, its very relaxing😅
Wow finally face reveal! Wouldn't have guessed you were Chinese though.
You're one of the better terrarium channels.
Bobs got sugar on his antennae
That is possible
@@HomemadeEcosystems give him one drop of water
@@goodson77784 you mean drop it on him?
@@HomemadeEcosystems gently.
@@HomemadeEcosystems maybe not? sugar removal surgery
Dude the isopod deserved all the hype they got. Those ones are pretty!
I was falling asleep by how quiet he’s talking
Your videos help me fall asleep
That’s a funny looking cat lol
Love your videos 😊😊😊
You know its gonna be a good day when homemade ecosystems post good video by the way 👍
That early riser and is mainly up early to leave notes at all the other ants’ desks, letting them know that it is up early, which means all the other ants are less hard working, according to early riser ant.
Hahah “SOURCE: Trust me, Bro” 😂
Saw this on my home screen and insta clicked. Been dying for an ant update!
Always a good day when Homemade Ecosystems posts.
The yellow ants in your garden are Lasius flavus (yellow meadow ants)
They are
You have a pretty nice garden!
holy shit thats a jump in subscribers.
nice colony, mines doing fine from hibernation as well. ill probably post a video on it after seeing this
Cool! Nice to hear they are fine
This channel combines ecology, artistry, and deadpan comedy and somehow it works 😂
There is quite a lot of mold in the tubes
I know, I had that in the active colony tube and made a video about replacing it. I got a lot of comments from other ant keepts that the black mold isn't harmfull unless it blocks the ants getting water
Awesome vid! Btw the ants you found in your backyard are most likely Lasius brevicornis, or Lasius flavus depending on where you live. Lasius flavus is the Europe species I believe! Hope this helped! ❤❤❤
Thanks I'm from Europe so probably flavus
@@HomemadeEcosystems Nice find then!
@@PlanetofAnts678 my backyard is full of nests with them !
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN KEEP IT UP
bru u need to talk to future canoe😂😂 same vibes 😂🎉
"Shes been barking alot" *shows a doggo*
Always a good day when you upload a video
I believe these are lasius flavus 4:15 or more commonly known as yellow meadow ants. They are closely related to black garden ants but they are smaller, yellow and can have multiple ant queens in a colony.
Yes I believe so too!
2:09 that ant is more buffed than me
Do the ant know that the chess board is setup incorrectly?
Yes
nice video, I love your ant colonies.
04:31 Was that you ?? 😊😊 Nice garden you have !
Jep that was me. Thanks!
Please make a separate video how to make sugar water.
The instructions in this video were unclear, it caught fire when I tried to make it.
I will do that
You are like God to ants
4:35 guys look i found something cool in the video!
Why do you sound depressed like I mean I cracked up when I heard your voice 😂
I use honey water Its healty that sugar
Solider ant gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
