I Spent Days in the Jungle to Find an Army Ant Queen!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Part 2 of my Mexico trip introduces the first ant queens of the trip, including a Neivamyrmex army ant queen! This is only the third time I've found a Neivamyrmex queen, and to think it was 1600 miles from my home state! On top of that, a Neoponera villosa queen, tons of tarantulas, our first live snake, and even more insane army ant species makes this video one you can't miss!

    I love your videos. I hate that most anting channels don’t include common names but you do!

    it's hard because a lot of ant species don't have common name, but I like to use them whenever I can.

    unfortunately that's what's typically known as a pseudo-soldier; technically it could be considered a major, but it lacks the large mandibles that are typical of full-sized Eciton majors

    True! I've only seen 3 ever, and they've all been Neivamyrmex - larger army ant queens are even harder to find!

    you're actually in a hot spot for pseudoscopion diversity! it looks like it was either in the family garypinidae or chernetidae!

    Very cool! admittedly I've never paid too much attention to them, but I've always found them to be at least a little interesting.

    That looked like a lot of fun if those two colonies of army ants met who would have won or do they ignore each other? the smaller black and red species

    I'm pretty sure that whenever army ant trails interact they just ignore each other - but if Labidus praedator were to fight Neivamyrmex impudens, the former would win easily. Their colonies can get 10x as large!
