Ant Room Tour | Spider Ants

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this documentary on ant keeping, I cover all the strange happenings inside a large colony of “Spider Ants” (Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus). From their spider-like body structure to their wingless queens, to their massive repletes, and their bat-like nesting behaviours...Some very odd ants indeed!

    Xavier Pedrana yes, I like that the ants will still help no matter what condition they’re in, it’s a shame we humans use pathetic excuses just to avoid going to work on a Monday yet a queen ant (who’s usual role is to just lay eggs) refuses to sit it out and instead helps the family still! This is why ants are better than us socially speaking when it comes to being part of a community.

    AntsCanada and yourself NEED to do a live podcast together and discuss species that either of you have and haven't had before. I'm pretty sure he has never experienced Spider Ants before and other Australian species. I also love that Spider Ants seem to utilise their larvae as a form of resource supply in a similar way to the Dracula Ants do by filling there young up with food before they are fully grown. If you are not familiar with Dracula Ants I definitely recommend! They feed there own larvae food they find then feed themselves by biting into the larvae while still keeping them alive. As it's thought the species' can't exchange Trophallaxis normally like most ants.

    The most interesting thing about spider ants is that they are now the 4th species of ants that have very noticeable repleates. And another thing that I find very interesting it how they reproduce with wingless queens which will be very hard to find when you want to look for her within a big colony.

    Your videos are incredible every time. I absolutely love them. One problem. You don't make enough of them. It has been 4 months and you haven't uploaded since. I hate to be one of those people who concerns over everything, but it went from monthly uploads, to every other monthly upload, to a video every 4 months at this point. With a relatively small amount of subscribers, I don't think you can rely on a patreon goal for motivation to make videos. You already have the needed equipment. Your own ant nests, ad revenue, and other things that keep a channel going. If you keep a consistent upload schedule, your channel will grow beyond belief. That would make a patreon goal much more achievable. but until then, I don't think that patreon donations should root the upload schedule for this channel, or to get exclusive content if desired. It should be open to everybody, and I speak for all fans here. Thanks for your attention. Keep making videos!

    _Leptomyrmex_ are interesting as a whole. On Ant Keeping Depot, from Gamergate it states that queens of this species have never been found. To distinguish queens through the ocelli is interesting as this method of identification is used among several other species too. Ergatoid queens are fairly uncommon as well, with this characteristic only being found in a few species, with some _Myrmecia_ queens also being wingless. Repletes are also amazing, like _Myrmecocystus_ except with less distended gasters and it’s fascinating that this species holds characteristics of many species of ants, with tandem running also being an occurrence within this species. I’d say the most interesting of all though, is the arrangement of young larvae in flower-like bundles. This trait is something I’ve yet to have seen in a species and what the purpose could be intrigues me.

    To me, the most interesting thing about spider ants is how very little research has been done and how spider ant queens look and act so similarly to her workers. Also, it’s surprising on how the workers fill up their unborn siblings with liquids to turn them into a hoarder, or a reverse. After this video, the fascinating spider ants have become more of a mystery to me than ever.

    Watching this video, a really fascinating thing occurred to me; when these ants are hanging upside down in large groups within their nest, it closely resembles how Daddy Longlegs (Harvestmen “spiders”) will cluster. Harvestmen may do this for added protection or to conserve moisture in dry conditions, but the MOST fascinating thing is that Harvestmen aren’t actually spiders either! They are arachnids but they’re more closely related to scorpions. This means that 2 completely different species (Harvestmen & Spider Ants) have independently developed very similar spider-like builds but typically non-spider-like behaviors for likely the same reasons. Amazing! And don’t get me started on Ant Spiders… Lol. I don’t currently keep any ants yet but I’ve always loved these little guys. Last week I actually had a dream of catching a Camponotus queen with my 3 y/o son, so guess what I’ll be doing as soon as Spring comes around!

I would also use it for instagram as I love posting updates of my colonies there. Regardless if I win or not it won't change how much I love your videos, I respect how detailed and professional they are.

    @@benjaminbradley210 I don't think so. He once said that: When he was little, he loved nature. He loved nature so much to the point that his parents bought him an ant nest. At first, he didn't know anything about ants. He didn't even know Ant Queens existed and that they're the egg layers! So, all he did was pick up a few workers, did nothing to them, and they started dying and eventually died. He lost interest because he thought that ant keeping was complicated and kept the nest under his bed. 10 years later, after graduating college, he was going around some stuff, when he suddenly felt something. He pulled it out and it was his ant nest. He learnt about ants alot in biology lessons so he had some knowledge in ant keeping. He gave it another try and caught his first queen ant. He watched some AntsCanada videos and managed to create a successful colony. Then, he started making a channel, inspired by AntsCanda and to spread one message: Ants are FASCINATING.

    The way I thought of the “larva balls” are like family groups, so certain family groups are designated to be repletes or regular workers or alaites, I also might think the family groups might generally stick together with a domininant ant, and they all form together to be one big colony, I also wonder if the the family groups generally hold brood that are set aside to their own cast, this is all just speculation, and defiantly needs more study ! And an update please !!’

    What i love about the spider ants is how thay dont look nor act like normal ants like lasius or others. I live how spider anta act like bats and how thay hold there larvae and tend to them like cleaning them and feeding them. The queen cool as well I like the way she's more energetic than other normal Queens she moves around intends to her brood more often than like say camponotus they like sit in one spot and lay eggs but unlike the Spider Queen she walks around and tends to her brood and larvae workers. It's really cool how you actually got a colony of spider ants Jordan I love these ants I actually wanted to look these up but I didn't find nothing on them so you've actually having a colony of them makes me more excited for every time you upload a video stay cool Jordan. Ant love for ever. Ps. I would use the camrea when my anta get out of hibernation i would shot them eating and in there nest and see about there behaver with the camera and show my friends my ants and there colors and behavers and what food that like

I'm from a rural part of Victoria, and have spent a fair bit of time around Bull Ants, their nests don't last long around my place, because we have animals that could be killed by them. Though I am interested in ants, I don't really have the space for a colony in my house at the moment. Love the video's, and I'll definitely keep watching them.
