My 5000+ Carebara divera, Yes! All In An Artificial Setup!
Wow! Just Wow! You guys need to see see how much these ladies have grown in such a short time! it’s been little over 5 weeks since my last video but i think it’s fair to say the have almost doubled in numbers! I think it’s fair to say i has destroyed the myth that Carebara diversa need naturalistic set ups! Mine never have been in one and they are doing well!
 I got this colony from Ant Antics, which he currently has 2 different types of carebara in stock! the divera and the affinis!

Great video! Such an amazing colony. Those super majors look awesome!
Very nice!! Impressive that you can keep them successfully in the artificial setup, I've never been able to! Oh and btw, the way you can tell if you have the largest size of supermajors is the thorax. The largest size supermajors have a sort of extra hump on their thorax that the other majors and supermajors don't have. By the looks of it the supermajor at 9:08 is the largest supermajor size. You can tell that the thorax has this extra big and spiny hump that the smaller major on the same shot doesn't have.

Still have the Geminata? Or have you given them away? If you ever give a shot as raising this species again, keeping them in Test Tubes or a Formisqarium of some sort would be an amazing idea!

Well with my wife leaving me and trying to spend as much time away from home that I can (still live with my ex wife) I don’t have much time to do videos and look after my ants. At the moment I’m doing just enough to keep them ticking over, but when I move into my own place I will be back on it.

Question for you have u ever tryd to breed ants in captivity ? Do u think it can work out ?
@antshood3324
Жыл бұрын
No I haven’t. The only ants you can really breed in captivity would be ones that inbreed in the nests. If they require a flight I don’t know anyone that has managed to do it. I know some people in native colonies will open the widow for when they get the environmental que too, but you cant really control it so you can retrieve the now mated queen.
