Greetings AC Family/Ant Lovers, thank you for watching! Hope you remember to LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, & SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this video! Many more epic ant videos to come! So, what else would you guys like to see our ants eat? Let me know!
It would actually be an interesting experiment to see how Queen #5 can live out as unfertilized queen in the long term. Can she survive if you keep feeding her? Will her biological clock cause her to pass? Will she stop laying eggs and allow the colony to reach critical mass?
About colony 5 - please keep them! I think it's really interesting to see a male-only colony develop... even if they don't develop much without workers, lol. Plus I think it's nice to give this queen a chance she never would have had in the wild. Think of it as another experiment in ant-keeping. :)
@@Theone-ph1xy it is far stronger then that small colony and it would burrow and cause their tunnels to collapse and it would literally doom the colony
Know you only wanted two colonies, but I think that colony number eight deserves to be one of your permanent colonies. She's doing so well and she deserves a cozy little tower of her own.
Yeah, Colony 8 are survivors and they deserve some love, although I understand he only has so much space and can only keep so many pets. Still, I agree and would love to see Colony 8 get some love.

Binge watching ant videos, and hearing your story during the construction of the Redwood Warriors nesting block, really made me appreciate what we're doing here in the age of RUclips, the internet, and communities like this. I hope more people consider their dreams and realize with a little (probably a lot) of hard work, and time (like AC's decade+ building this) they can make a living doing something they love like never before.
I'm commenting before watching the vid...but...I just want to say that out of all the youtubers that I look forward to their next video, yours are the one's that I actually hold my breath for on Saturday/Sundays. The last month or so has been rough but you put so much time and effort into EVERYTHING that I know it's for the best. You rock man and I will forever watch your videos.
Agreed my dude!!! Despite being a 12 year-old channel, Mikey's stuff are made with undying passion and gusto. You can tell that he really pours his heart and mind out into these videos, they're really a delight to watch regardless if you are an ant enthusiast or not. I don't think there's any other way for him to improve because you can see that he's perfected his craft already. Definitely one of the best content creators here in RUclips and I will forever watch his vids too
And another one here ✌️ im still suprised from where he begun and what grew out of his hobby :D he has his own forest, his own brand and market, ultimate success! Congrats AC! ❤️
mole crickets are interesting, though the first time i'd really heard/acknowledged of them was the godseeker in hollow knight a fruit fly feeding would be interesting to watch (a touch on the cruel side admittedly but good enrichment for any of the more aggressive ant colonies)
2:08 "Thankyou mole cricket for giving up your life to nourish my ants" The cricket "I'm about to do what?!" Edit: DAMMMMM iv never got so many likes thankyou so much
Oh my GOSH! One of Colony 8's cocoons have it's feet sticking out! It's so cute and guess that means Colony 8 has more workers on the way. Also it means the cocoons shall hatch very soon.😊
I want to see how Ant Colony #5 eats and if they inform the others. Who feeds the larvae? The queen only? I would love a little update about how they act.
That cricket is fascinating! Thank you for your ongoing kindness, respect, & thankfulness to the insect feeders, & for not sensationalising like so many people do. Ant _and cricket_ love forever! ╭ ͡₍❤︎₎͡ ╮
I voted for the beast but I didn't know if would be a badass cricket with claws. that mole cricket was pretty cool. I would've loved to see it living it's best life.

A few years ago I was looking for videos of ants vs bugs and found your fire ants and roach, I got intrigued by your channel, and here I am today, a Proud antkeeper, which probably fueled my obsession with bugs which now also makes me a beekeeper. I'm so glad I found your channel, I love it here, not leaving anytime soon. Thank you antscanada
well taking the chunk away could be a good defensive strategy for higher thought if there's a predator around you wouldn't want that predator to know where your front door was. but with so many ants maybe not for the front door would be obvious

I appreciate your content greatly! Doesn’t mean I still don’t combat the feeling of things crawling over my skin now and again from the comfort of my chair at home 😅 That being said… I almost passed out when you went to chop the mole cricket’s abdomen the second time, and it basically reacted as if it wasn’t already cut it half and tried to escape your grasp 💀
Maybe feed one of your ant colony’s a swarm of fruit flies as a live feeding? Would be a very quick and natural death for the ones who offered their life to feed such a majestic super mind. Plus amazing content 😉
@@Roysenator he's not a fan of them because of sensitive cry babies complaining and calling him cruel. Just check other live feeding videos. People absolutely hate it cause of "feelings" that got hurt.
These ants are well-adapted to live in and around decaying wood, whether it's dry-rotting or damp. They shouldn't have trouble with other microorganisms, such as fungus, that share their role of breaking down the material. Especially since these ants, the wood they're living in, and any such microorganisms that are showing up on their own are all native to the local ecosystem.
Just discovered this channel tonight and I find this hilarious. This is what AntsCanada is summed up as. To Ants: Benevolent Father-God-Keeper figure who provides water, shelter, and jelly from the sky. To other insects: Tyrannical kidnapper who will fatten you up like you're Hansel and Gretel before sending you into the oven that is an Ant Colony.
I'm imaging the conversations occurring with the colony attempting and failing to move their prey. "No, Lisa! MY LEFT NOT YOUR LEFT! PIVOT! PIVOT!!" Nice to know members of the insect kingdom also suffer from bad communication.
😂😂😂 I love how he makes everything so dramatic. Thank God he saves us from the horror of him killing a cockroach or a mole cricket off camera. Love the channel though great wholesome content
Mole crickets are my favorite little critter, though where I'm from, we call them ground puppies as a nickname for them. I think they're rather cute lol
At 9:30, why did that worker ant look like it was jumping? Is it what they do when they're excited? I have a carpenter ant colony and one of my workers do that exact same thing, what does it mean?
I was so happy when he told me it was caught flying around. Something from the wild is the perfect thing for some ants caught from the wild also. You know. Wanting to be with family and stuff.
So for the infertile queen I have a small idea I believe I have heard that some people would chill a ant colony and a new queen and that when the would be warmed up again they accept the queen thinking her as there own so maybe you could either borrow some from your other colonys or buy some generic ant far with workers if they still do that.
Back when I worked a booth at Bugfest in NC, I'd handle mole crickets to demonstrate that they're completely harmless to humans and that they have kinda cute faces when they're up close. :)

@@richardshiflett5181 and by optimal i mean the insect will be killed faster by a large colony than a small one. And if thats cruel you better go stop those army ants in the jungle cus they commiting massive war crimes daily.
It has been a few years since I watched one of your videos, and I am happy that you still make quality content and it seems that your ant family only grows.
Hey AntsCanada, how do you deal with the potential of parasites from Crickets infecting your colonies? They're now considered kind of the worst type of feeder insect now due to that fact.
@@cooperette1 Farmed crickets have the same problem. They often eat their own or other's feces (even putting it in their food sources) and that's a breeding ground for their parasites and diseases.
Such a good question. I imagine it might be species dependent. This cricket lives underground. Perhaps not as many parasites exist down there so he's a safer bet? I'd really love to see Mikey branch out and collab with insect and ecosystem experts and educators in years to come. We have a thirst to learn more and speaking for myself, it would instill the confidence I lost a few weeks back when he pit different colonies against each other.
I also want to thank you for this knowledge. Pet store crickets were a great idea when I cared for hamsters and I'd just been considering allowing my cat to have a little fun nature snack every once in a while. I had no idea they could be harmful. I'm going to do some research and talk to my vet with this angle in mind. You rock!
Hi my name is Katerina and I love your videos [I am steel New to your channel] (you have shown me that ants aren’t all they seem to be) before I found your channel I had a small claustrophobia towards ants and spiders. Luckily I’m starting to get over it. But it is kind of weird because sometimes I’m not scared of spiders or ants and then other times I’m terrified. Anyways keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!! # Ants for life #Ants are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pet store crickets were a great idea when I cared for hamsters and I'd just been considering allowing my cat to have a little fun nature snack every once in a while. I had no idea they could be harmful. I'm going to do some research and talk to my vet with this angle in mind. You rock!
Bro that cricket is an absolute unit
Honestly, a mole cricket would be a great challenge for a big fire ant colony, or your largest colony to face while the mole cricket is still alive
Mike, it looks like there is mold growing on the wood. Have you thought of putting spring tails in to clean up?
Yes, indeed. I will put some in soon!
Hi my name is Katerina and I love your videos [I am steel New to your channel] (you have shown me that ants aren’t all they seem to be) before I found your channel I had a small claustrophobia towards ants and spiders. Luckily I’m starting to get over it. But it is kind of weird because sometimes I’m not scared of spiders or ants and then other times I’m terrified. Anyways keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!
# Ants for life #Ants are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you give us a update of the new ant room/building please also love your videos!
Watching it move cut in half was enough to get me to pause the video for a few seconds to take a breather 😂😂😂
