150 Gallon Desert ecosystem Simulation ( With Natural Disasters )
Simulating a desert for 100 days using 150 gallon used tank. It's home to crickets, lizards, scorpions, spiders, toads and much more!! Some I didn't even put in there. Even has cacti flowers and a desert rose.
Watch as it goes from a bare wasteland to a thriving ecosystem to Mother Nature has other plans..
This ecosystem is filmed over 100 days and took months to edit it all together!

The ant is a Queen fire ant, it got in there from the colony's nuptial flight (when they send their elates the future queens, and male elates to mate then male dies from getting the queen fertilized) and the elates fly out of colony to find a place to build it's own colony. Then it takes its wings off to signify that it has found it's home.

Hi, I keep ants as pets in Formicariums and that ant you found is a queen! Not sure on the species but I want to say it’s either of the genus Solenopsis or Camponotus. You might want to start keeping ants in terrariums, because they are great scavengers and hunters and active when the colony gets past the founding stage. Don’t keep fire ants though, because they will probably kill everything in there over time because they can get VERY big and overwhelm animals and insects. And then after they take over the terrarium they will probably escape into your house!

I was genuinely interested in the fate of these creatures and their home. Oh, and the instant gratification of seeing this from day 1 to day like 100 or whatever in a single video… perfection!
