Greetings, Ant Lovers/AC Family! Due to so many requests for tips on actual ant keeping, I decided that while I'm busy working on our Phoenix Empire's terrarium, I'd finally release this complete ant tutorial video to help you guys start your own epic ant colonies, so we can raise ants together! Anyone out there catch any queen ants this year? What ant species are you raising? Let us know!

If you like low mantience ants and dont mind waiting, go for a black carpenter queen. If you want to see the colony grow to a huge size quickly, while also needing maintance almost every other day, fire ants. And if your looking to budget/not spend alot on formacariums and such then go for those garden ants.

I live in Australia and I’m thinking of keeping green headed ants when I’m older. They can’t climb up smooth surfaces but they have painful stings and many aussies watching this can probably relate to the pain we felt in primary school when we were outside and one crawled on your leg

The noptual flight is when all the virgin queens fly out followed by males to get their new colony started. The queen will come down and find the perfect spot , the male however sadly dies. I recognize this when i see loads of them flying around followed by birds trying to catch them. I managed to get a queen now (finally) and now got about 5-7 worker ants helping her! So excited 🙌

I really want to get into ant keeping at some point. Luckily, I have enough patience and empathy to just let ants crawl on me, so I'd probably easily get a queen once I identify her. Fun story: in elementary, I often got put in time out during recess. I'd just sit there and let ants crawl on me. Most of them were black ants, but some were fire ants! They didn't even bite/sting me! So yea, I now love ants.

I think it’s interesting to see new behaviors in North American ants, where I live in northern Ontario I watched a colony of ants start tending to a sun flower in a sun flower patch I planted near by, I saw them making little rooms drinking sap or what ever comes from the stem of a sun flower, aswell it seemed to improve the plants growth rate as it was the only flower to successfully bloom but not seed, after blooming the ants kept one room for taking the liquid from them stem and then collecting pollen(I think among other tasks), and I have never seen this behavior again, sadly before being able to document what I’ve seen we got hit with a few frosts and they went into hibernation, however I’m going to try and plant sun flowers in the same location and see if they repeat this behaviour or if they were taking advantage of how this sunflower grew, aswell as another behavior change I’ve noticed is the presence of 2 or more queens, aswell as two environmental changes I think might play a part aswell, over the last couple years it’s been significantly hotter during the summer and the arrival of an ant species I’ve never seen until a few years ago, I’m not sure what it is but it’s very small and is clearish brown in colour, and seem to either have a massive nest or just hundreds of nests around in the sandy soil

Thanks for the heads up and info.. sounds like it could be interesting since ants can be seasonal, which would make it easier for me in australia.. though i would be looking at a small farm.. nothing overly grown and dont want ants to get out of control in the area...

Hi just got a new colony and this is helpful

As a kid I created my own setup with a large jar. I found a container that fit the center of the jar perfectly and filled in soil around the container and against the sides of the jar, creating a circular area in which the ants could dig their nest. I found a large harvester ant queen that had shed her wings and was wandering around looking for a nest site, captured her, and placed her in the jar. I started a depression for her in the soil to get her in the mood to settle in quickly, which she did. After a few weeks I had a tiny colony of ants starting up. Just goes to show that you don't need to buy things or even have an elaborate setup. Ants are happy as long as they have the basic ingredients for a comfortable nest.

The Nuptial flight is a super important phase in the life cycle of a Queen Ant. It’s the period of time that the Queen leaves the nest and mates with males in order to found a new Colony or in some cases to continue an already existing one. Keep calm and Ant on!

The OG antscanada tutorials are back 😁

Thanks for all the cool videos

Hi I love your video so much! And pls never give up❤️❤️❤️

A nuptial flight is when a queen mates with a Male to start a new colony... If someone already did this and gets the free stuff it okay😃🐜🐜🐜

Nuptial flight: Is when a colony is mature and new male and female larvae start to develop wings to seek out ants from other colonies to mate with. Virgin queens (alates) will then mate with males from other colonies to start a new one of there own. It is the key phase of the ants life cycle and there survival. Mature ant colonies will repeat this cycle at the right time of the year, this would also include the correct weather (rain ect..). Really love your videos keep up the good work.

Wow! What a cool little animal! Im going through some kind of mental metamorphosis where every animal that used to scare me is becoming more and more fascinating everyday snake discovery has helped me conquer my fear of snakes and now I'm all about bugs, I plan to keep many different animals one day, but not until I can provide perfect care to each one and I'll get them one at a time, I think maybe the 2nd animal I'll be getting is gonna be a red ant colony super beautiful ants!

I have ordered a suger ant queen don’t worry it’s from my country and when it’s there I might already be in love with it thanks for the tips It really helped out a lot

I've always wanted ants now I know how thanks!

A nuptial flight is when an ant colony sends male and female ants with wings into the air to find a mate. Love u AntsCanada ❤️ #antloveforever

AC question of the week: A nuptial flight is a flight, where Virgin queen alates mate with multiple male alates before landing to start a new colony.

Lol not worth keeping them they grow to fats and they sting unless you have money and you can afford to keep adding more space the Sure keep them but you will have to freeze them eventually because they are invasive if your in any part of the world except South America you can keep them
