I’d be interested I seeing the fire ant colony try a beef patty, a vegan patty, and a lab grown meat patty at the same time to see how they react to each type of ‘meat’.

Funnily enough, I had done Biology at school, and had worked on eyeballs. They are basically jelly encasings filled with a liquid substance. Honestly didn’t expected the ants to be able to avoid all that mess, with all the eye juices. Smart gals

Soft, succulent eye balls 😂 Full of protein and liquids for any ant colony. Great job with the channel mate, keep it up ✌️

I got extremely lucky with my schools (especially in a kinda rural area of the US), since I got to dissect an entire salmon in 5th grade: piglets and some eyes that I don't remember in 7th grade: some kittens, more eyes, frogs, and some other things that I can't recall in 8th grade; All in all, I found the eyes and the hearts the most intriguing because of how complex they were, which got elevated in 8th grade when we got to look at the cones in an eye under a microscope

You can’t say you love your pets unless you donate your eyes to them 💀

Aside from the obvious effort and care that went into making the environment, and raising the ants to a state of stability, this has to be a massive amount of work to maintain. Hats off to you sir.

he showed us some termite fungus spores in his fridge when he got the eyeballs out, so maybe he's still trying again? hopefully he's working on a cooler area setup for them too. they don't like the hot temps that the ants prefer. and they even prefer to dig their own ventilation holes too, which means a mostly enclosed glass setup might not work out.

Thanks for doing my suggestion “can you do a ants feeding video”+ant love 4ever

I've helped clean deer and fish after catching them, and eyeballs are pretty much just rubbery squishy balls. It's basically just a big ball of gristle if you ignore the fact that it's... y'know, an eye.

3:25, when ants twerk you know your done 💀🕊️

I have indeed held and opened up some eyeballs. Very "yucky" feeling! And the lens in there. So crazy!

thanks for all the content!

love your videos and especially the fire ant ones keep them coming and i hope to see more types of ants in your ant room like the blue ants from one of your other videos and i loved the vid when your original fire ant colony was escaping

Awesome episodes, as always

From dissections, I can tell you that white sclera is really tough and hard to cut, probably why they went for the easier cornea. There is black fluid inside (it's kinda clear watery fluid with lots of tiny black bits in it). There are two chambers, one in front of the lens, and one behind. The main one behind the lens, the inside really is just kinda hollow, with the black fluid in it. Probably not much nourishment in the sclera/anterior chamber.

Oh no fire ant mating! You may have to borrow an armadillo or some thing

It's a little bit disappointing to not get to see the ants burrow into the eyeballs, but you know what would be almost just as inteesting to watch? If you could do a timelapse video of the ants burying a meal item, with a timer on the side measuring how long it takes for them to completely bury their quarry. ;)

1 hour gang

Eye ballss at the cornea have multiple layers. One of them is the lens wich us quite thick. In the middle is the vitreous body. It is very slimy and wet. Look it up on the internet it is very interesting. Your eye is made out of 4 different main layers.

"the eyes staring out in a expression of worry" lmfao 😂 freaking hilarious bro

Wow. Ive been watching you since 2011. You never bore me.

Totally gross. But i couldn't help but click. Fascinating and the genuine love for his colonies is infectious. Thanks for sharing ❤from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

As an idea for the inevitable nuptial flight, maybe you could make a large mesh cage to surround the setup and it would catch any queens that fly out? Assuming that the colony is an invasive one that you don't want escaping the ant room either, or if you just want to be sure that they don't make any homes outside the setup if they are somehow able to impregnate within the colony (I don't know much about that.)

The eye is basically a sack filled with clear gel. All the interesting areas are around the lens and at the nerve bundle at the back.

You should build an enclosure for your next ant group with cameras and lights everywhere inside and out so they can be watched and recorded all over.

Having lights everywhere would probably be stressful for them Ants feel more secure in dark environments, hence why he keeps viewing panes covered in when not in use

I dissected a sheep eye in the 10th grade. I kept the lens of the eye in my winter coat pocket for over a decade. It slowly turned from mostly clear to dark-brown, but it never deteriorated at all and remained elastic until I finally lost it.

*Mikey IS the Og 'Antman'!*
