I live in indonesia, my favorite camponotus species is camponotus gigas/dinomyrmex gigas.she is the biggest ant ever see in my life,she also the calmest and the greatest ant i ever keep in my life,when i gave her a drop of honey she immedietly drank the honey on the stick without disturb and sometimes she play and ran in my hand without biting me, when she play in my hand she does unthinkble action she scaning my hand with her antena like she said something to me,diffrent from my other camponotus queen when i try to feed them,they ran and pannic in the test tube. I raise her almost 4 monts when she get her first manitics ,i and my friend are so happy,when the manitics started to old they take all the queen jobs, the workers also smart like their mother when i open their conteiner, the worker then emerging from their the test tube and scanning the sky and started to follow the food where ever i put it,their are so cute when their following my hand. But short story this colony stated dying when the queen die because a lot of my friends watcing and disturb them every times,when the queen die i started to cry in my heart ,i feel bad to the colony.i have a hight hope to this colony because this camponotus queen is very rare and this queen was the smartest and the greatest queen ant i ever keeps and just die after 8 monts later, when i started to funeral her all of my friends joining and starting to donating because they very sad to me. Ok Thats my short story of my camponotus gigas ant,sorry if i had wrong word in this story ,thanks guys.

The Legend has returned, Jordan Dean! Thanks for featuring me on the video too :) I love Camponotus Nigreceps because of how they are big compared to other camponotus species. Having such vibrant colours and also the majors have strong mandibles holding many objects surrounding them. Also, I love how Camponotus work as a team, spraying formic acid and defeat their prey or even predators. However, they have repletes which would store liquids and regurgitate it to their young. That is why I love Camponotus Nigreceps, thank you so much for making a new video and can't wait for more :) Wish me luck in the giveaway!

Hi Jordan! My name is Jaydon and I am 11 years old. Thank you for all your videos. I am learning so much by watching them. My favourite sugar ant species is the Banded Sugar Ant because there are different castes, and the soldiers can be the same size as the queen. I also like the Golden Tailed Spiny Ant because of the pretty colours on them.

Return of the king. For what is my favorite species and why it has to be Camponotus aeneopilosus, first of all because of their beautiful coloration of black and gold, also I love how this particular species of Campo are really fast, especially for their size, also I love how they often use tandem running to help other members of the colony find food, also these guys are really interesting to watch. I also like how unlike a lot of other ants around my area they have majors which are really cool. I also find it really cool how some of the workers and majors act as repletes storing large amounts of liquid to use later. Unlike many of the other species of Campo these guys are really aggressive and will attack their prey ferociously without mercy, I personally find it really cool to watch them take down prey many times larger than them because as far as Camponotus go this species is a bit on the smaller side. Thanks for making such good documentaries and I wish all people who enter the giveaway Good Luck!

My favorite species of sugar ant would be the banded sugar ant, they are so abundant in my area and they have a super extensive nest system, I like how the queens are easier to keep and easier to spot. Definitely one of my top 5 species of ant, from here in Australia.

Question giveaway answer: My favourite sugar ant species is Camponotus aeneopilosus, golden tail sugar ants. I have a colony of them in one of your amazing small ytong nests. I mainly like these because of their glorious looks. The queen doesn't have the golden abdomen hairs but that just makes her easily distinguishable. (p.s. I call her queen Marianne). The workers are very active and there are also soldiers, making an interesting cast in the species. They are very curious in the outworld and have made quite the mess, somehow managing to flip over the honey dispenser lol! I always love watching these guys (girls) explore and feast on the food I give them. I love the Aus Ants products and I would really like some more nests because I don't have that many colonies but many need a space upgrade. Thanks for reading my submission.

Nicely done! Looking forward to more uploads!

One of my favorite ants is Camponotus sericeiventris, I think these golden ants are the most beautifull of them all I also love how they have many diffrent sizes and how they almost always look so chilled out

My favourite sugar ant species is Camponotus ligniperdus. Its one of the biggest ant species in my country and also my first colony . These ants really got me into antkeeping. Sadly i also had a fungal outbreak after the first nanitics arrived, which killed the colony. I was really gutted when i saw that my Queen died but i kept the antkeeping hobby .Now i have a colony of harvesting ants (around 300 individuals) that i house in an all in one design that was inspired by your Video:). Thank you for your videos they are truly inspiring.

There's no way I could pick just one. All the sugar ants are incredible. They're hardy, easy to keep and watch. Sugar ants are like that one aunty who always asks for a doggy bag for the leftovers and always has a stash of goodies in her fridge. It's a little bit embarrassing but everyone still loves her anyway :) Thanks for the great vid, Gratz on 100k and don't stay away so long next time. We all need our ant fix! ~dingo

Oh thanks for the heart mate.

I like the European species Camponotus ligniperdus. They are a slow growing but large species ( for Europe ). I like their ruby red thorax and this can also be seen on their petiole and and beginning of their abdomen. They are also quite easy to feed , they love dried up mealworms and sugar water. They are diurnal and quite active in their outworld. Their major castes can be quite large with large heads.

my favourite species of sugar ant is Camponotus nigriceps as the size of their massive soldier ants fascinates me!

All sugar ant species are amazing but my favorite is the classic camponotus consubrinus I love their color , how easy the colony is to keep and their different sizes I am just amazed at how ants can have workers and soldier

My favorite sugar ant (my favorite ant in general) is camponotus consobrinus because when i was just getting into ant keeping i spent months looking for queens and a couple of days before i was about to give up ant keeping, i went on my last search for a queen and i couldn't find one so i went to have a shower and go to sleep in the bathroom was a banded sugar ant queen so i ran to my room and grabbed a test tube and caught her. She now has 100 workers and i own many ant species. If i won id use the ytong nest to house my new myrmecia pyriformis queen. Also thanks for all the motivation to keep ants! great video!

My favorite Camponotus ant type is just the simple carpenter ant native to North America, because they are super easy to find and raise.

My favourite sugar ant species is Camponotus Lownei! I love how they're small and they're cute little ants! Their orangy black colour is beautiful and i really can't wait to get a queen! Their majors are beautiful too! These guys are underrated and I love to show my love for them

my favorite species of camponotus is one called camponotus irritans, an ant common in my area, and my very first species of ant i kept. what's interesting about them is that the queens look like camponotus lownei queens, but the workers, even after eclosing from their cocoons, tend to be a light yellow/golden colour, at least from my experience. i have no idea what the majors look like though. right now my colony is too small to have any majors, but i hope to see one soon! they also tend to raise their abdomen towards a threat and lay a single drop of mystery liquid on it. the ant then quickly flees and the liquid seems to irritate the threat, causing it to panic and run around, eventually exhausting it. i suspect this liquid might be formic acid, but since the ants drop so little at a time, i haven't got around to try and identify it. well, that's all i have to say. i hope i win the giveaway, and if i don't, i hope this at least helps someone get to know camponotus irritans!

OMG FINALLY ANOTHER ANT ROOM TOUR!!! :DDD Congrats on 100k! My favourite species of carpenter ants has to be Camponotus novaeboracensis. I just love their unique reddish-brown and black colour, especially when they cluster together in their nests. They are found throughout the usa and Canada. I don't live in either places but I really hope one day I can and keep a colony. The Majors of this species look gorgeous with their black heads and red thorax. They also have repletes and aquapletes like most other carpenter ants. They nest pretty much everywhere, under logs and stumps, sometimes inside tree stems, in dead branches on the ground and under bark, boards, or even under stones. They have also been known to eat away the dead and/or diseased parts of tree stems and branches where they nest. As a result, the trees actually grow faster and healthier than others! Such a unique and extraordinary specie of ants.

My favorite specie is the Camponotus nigriceps because of their size and the way their soilders head is shaped. It makes them loook sooo adorable. Kinda like mini hearts. They also remind me of the big headed ants known as phidole which is also one of my most favorite ants!

My favourite sugar ant species is the Camponotus Nigreceps because they have such cool colours and they are bigger then the average ant. Also I have just got into ant keeping and am searching for my first queen ant you have really inspired me to get into ant keeping and getting that next would be a big help. Also congrats on 100k keep up the great work

Actually my favorite ant species is the Odontomachus sp. which is the trapjaw ants, they are native to my country and they look unique from other ants.

My Favourite Sugar Ant Species Is The Banded Sugar Ant. I Love Them So Much Because I Grew Up With Them And I Always Used To Just Watch Them For Hours. And I Would Love To See What Goes On In Their Nest! These Ants Are Perfect For Me Because I Am A Night Owl And So Are They! I Wish To One Day Own A Colony Of My Own.

The first one you talk about it’s really cool and amazing

camponotus sericeiventris, even though the golden seems to be a very big attracting factor, that's not the reason i like these carpenter ants, (i personally prefer silver like camponotus planatus) the reason I like these carpenter ants, is because of their behavior, odd shape, and enormous size, here in Mexico, its quite common to find them foraging around the tree trunks, they almost never step on the ground, being strictly arboreal, it makes it extremely difficult to find the queens, since they are looking for nesting ground, on the tree tops. now, you may notice they have extremely large and meaty legs, making them extremely tanky. its unusual to find workers foraging, i assume its because they are a tropical species, which means they hardly ever need repletes to store food for a drought or for the winter, making it so that soldier ants, are the ones foraging, while the workers stay inside and tend to the queen and brood, quite an opposite for most ant species. They also have an uncommon trait for most sugar ants, great vision, because of the fact that they are exclusively arboreal, they have to fight for every inch of branch, them being one of the largest ants around (larger than even the dinosaur ants neoponera), makes it extremely difficult to tap every millimeter of branch with their antennae on the looks for invading small ants, so instead, they use their eyesight, to spot the intruder almost immediately and completely cease an attack. this trait, that is owned by ants like pseudomyrmex, gives the large ants an extreme advantage for territorial superiority, unlike crematogaster or azteca, who compansate their size by their large numbers and short temper. i hope i can find a queen in the near future, even though they fly on the tree tops, me and some friends have figured a way to bring them down. and that is, a light. using a bright light and a white surface, we plan to bring down the queens during their nocturnal flights. since ants and other insects, are attracted to light because of their eyes, which is not a common use to gather queen ants, but we hope it is effective.

You alive mate?

My favorite species of sugar ant is definitely the Camponotus suffusus because of its very very shiny and vibrant bodies. All the variations of colors are my favorite, whether it is golden, orange or brown. The queen is absolutely beautiful too a red mark on the thorax. I have seen so many in Australia and they are the best ones, always easy to spot.

I love Camponotus Suffusus. I always loved Golden things likes my pyrite stone (Yes I am a rock nerd). I love how they can have different colored body's when they are adults. Their one of the creatures that would just make you smile when you see them. The gold patterns of those abdomen is JUST right, not to much gold not to little. That's why I LOVE them.

My favourite species of ant too!

My favorite would have to be Camponotus Aeneopilosus because I’ve always loved larger any species, one because I can see and observe them better, two because it’s cool to see how strong they are, and three because the colonies take longer to mature, and my favorite part of watching ants is in the beginning stages

When next video?

this is sooooooooooooooooooooo nice to watch, so satisfying - watching the ants dart around

I actually remember mistaking a large sugar ant nest for a bull ant nest when I was younger because they were so big. I also remember running across a sugar ant queen once when I was walking, I live kind of out of town, and it's the only time I can remember seeing a queen. Love the videos and keep up the good work.

my favorite type of sugar ant is that of camponotus lowney, i love the stripes on their back. Also the color viability between older and younger ants, the clear white of their brood is, in my opinion, quit beatifull. I especially liked the story of the queen and the fact that she survived with only 2 functional legs! the video was done incredibly well and made my day a whole lot better! I hope my English is good enough and you can read it! Have a nice day everyone!

Omg YESSSS!!! I’ve been waiting for so long! The Vid looks amazing Jordan! Your content is awesome! Keep it up!

Camponotus nigriceps is my personal favorite as it is the biggest among the collection i find their color amazing

My favourite is the Camponotus lownei becuase of the fact that the larvae spin silk to cover themselves becuase I think it looks very satisfying and cool

My favourite sugar ant species is Camponotus Rufipes, also known as red legged sarassará. It is one of the biggest ant species here in Brazil, where I live, and they're almost everywhere. I like its combination of pitch-black body and fiery red legs, something that, with its big size and their soldier's huge heads can make them quite scary, but fascinating. Once big enough, their colonies will practically dominate its territories. Every night, where I live, I can see them trail and just destroy everything in their way.

My favorite sugar ant species is camponotus lownei because of their small body size which allows them to grow faster than other sugar ant species. I also think that they look very cool and unique.

My favorite is camponotus ligniperda because its the largest species of ant in europe (where I live). I also love the red and black colouration which gives it a super intimedating look.

My favorite sugar ant species are Camponotus americanus by far. They are just amazing looking ants, they look a lot like the Camponotus consobrinus that you featured in this video. The reason they are so fascinating for me is because , first off, large ants have always appealed to me more, and their 12 mm max size definitely fits that criteria. Secondly, they are local to my area, so they are much more accessible to myself, allowing me to witness their magnificent in person. Their pleasant organe-ish color is very nice looking and serves an important purpose, camouflage for the wood they reside in. They are just fabulous ants all together and I hope during nuptial flights this season I will be able to catch one of their young queens.

I love your voice, it’s so calming, and the music is perfectly chill to make this not just super interesting but incredibly calm

I am so glad to see another video!!

I love the banded sugar any by far my faviroute they have the nicest colour pallet out of any other sugar ant in my opinion it they all blend so nicely

AIR YEETED OUT OF MY LUNGS WHEN I SAW HIM UPLOAD REEE...

My favorite sugar ant species has to be Camponotus floridanus because they often nest in driftwood and they are surprisingly calm ants that don’t try to attack any organisms unless needed and can co exist with other ant species. I find them enjoyable to watch while they feed on honeydew or tree sap while I sit under a small tree in which they decided to inhabit.

My favorite is camponotus pennsylvanicus. The black carpenter ant. It was the first queen I ever found.

My favorite species of Camponotus has got to be subbarbatus. Camponotus subbarbatus is a rare species of Camponotus native to the eastern US. They are very efficient at consuming food and do not need to be fed often. Additionally, they nest inside sticks. Their gastors also have a really cool banded/striped pattern when full.

Hey Jordan, im currently in Western Australia and an aspiring ant keeper, I really love your channel as it’s soo interesting learning all these interesting things about the ants native to our country and it’s soo easy to tell how much effort and love you put into each video along with raising your colonies which has inspired me to get one of my own hence why I would like to be considered for the give away. Although only just learning about them in this video I really like the campanotus suffusus ants! I didn’t consider the fact that a species would have ants that all looked notably different which I think is really cool, that way in it’s young stages you could name the first generation ants individually which would be soo cool and would bring you emotionally closer to the ants. This video has actually made me decide I want to specifically try and obtain a suffusus queen as my first since I just love them soo much in this video.

Loved every second of it

I have been waiting for this! :D

It's awesome that you're back with a new upload. Amazing footage as always!

your videos are always worth the wait

I am very happy that you're back🙂

I fell in love with the banded sugar ants a couple years ago. I had always wanted ants so when I saw a mature colony of these large sugar ants working in harmony to forage and explore. I got stuck for hours just watching them do their thing.

My favorite colony was Camponotus suffusus simply because they look the coolest! I especially appreciate the variation in color and the epic looking majors.

Hes BACK welcome back mann I joined a little other a month ago and I love the videos I've watched only every one

My son's favourite sugar ant is Camponotus consobrinus as we have a small but growing colony at home! We love feeding them flies and meal worms and they absolutely love honey. At the moment, the soldiers in the main chamber have stored the honey as repletes and we enjoy watching them share the food with the workers and queen. We've noticed that any honey they don't eat, they cover in sand substrate from their out-world, perhaps as a way to store it for later? Has been a great way to teach my kids about how ants social structure works and teach them plenty of new latin words. Congrats on 100k subscribers! We really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks, Tim and Theo

I live in the US and I have always heard the genus camponotus referred to as carpenter ants, but maybe that’s just a new world thing

I find your content really good and I’ve watched all of your videos like 3 times.Can’t wait till your next upload

YAY. you're back!

My favorite species of sugar ants is probably Camponotus fragilis the reason being that they have a very pale color even after hardening which is quite uncommon among most sugar ants. (They are also native to my region, south west america).They are also produce quicker than most sugar ants as well, and move faster than most sugar ants too. Their pale coloration, quick growth, and the ability to bolt make these my favorite sugar ant species. They aren't as large as some of the slower growing camponotus found in my region but I find that these ants have much more personality. These are the reasons why these are my favorite sugar ant species.

My favorite species of Camponotus ants are C. lownei because of the soldiers that stuff themselves with food and become a ‘living refrigerator’ and also C. castaneus for their distinctive red color. Also C. lownei is a small species and thus easy to raise for starters.

You are back! YEEEESSS!!!

I loved this video all of the sugar ants were amazing! I loved Camponotus aeneopilosus the most because of their cool golden hairs on their abdomen, not just that but I also loved looking at the workers groom the queen and larvae so its easier to carry them to different locations not only that but love how unique they are like how they are diurnal, unusual for sugar ants but it means you can see these beautiful ants run around completing their tasks all day! Good luck to all the other people in the giveaway!

And hes back once again!

Camponotus nigriceps is my favorite, because of there beautiful color!

THE LEGEND BACK !!!!!

My favorite sugar ant species is probably Camponotus vicinus, which are native where I live. They are large and have a cool red thorax which I like.

Yay your back

I like the colony of Camponotus iownie (I cant spell lol) because it looks beautiful and also grows very quickly. Good luck to everyone else!
