Speaking of the ants being smarter than we think, biologists recently found that honeybees may be able to dream, have short and long term memory, and the capacity to learn.

@achristiananarchist2509

Жыл бұрын

That bees can learn and have long and short term memory has been well known for a while. That's why they hover over flowers and stare at them. They are memorizing the appearance and location of that flower so they can find it again later. The dreaming thing is super interesting though. I hadn't heard anything about that. I wonder how you'd even assess dreaming in an insect. I can't imagine they engage in REM and their brain is so different from ours that I'm not sure you could take for granted that activity during sleep is dreaming. I feel like I'm about to fall down a google rabbit hole...

I mean Asian Giant Hornets and bumble bees have photographic memory, so id not be surprised if others have that as well. Honey bees do remember, since they need to be able to communicate directions to the rest of the colony, as to how much i dont know, but i know its directions and distances at least, probably landmarks as well. Bumble bees will remember key location as they travel, which is why you see them return to some land mark, circle it for a few seconds and then keep going again, in both directions.

I have two fledgling colonies right now: a New York carpenter ant (Camponotus novaeboracensis) colony with a queen I caught last year, and an Eastern Black carpenter ant (C. pennsylvanicus) queen I caught just a few days ago! Really cool to see the differences between the two species; the New York carpenter ants with their distinctive red mesosomas, and the Eastern Black carpenter ants with their larger size and golden hairs on their gasters. It's also been amazing to see the NY ant workers spray formic acid on the arthropod prey I give them; I didn't know this species would do that, but it's been exciting to watch!

Gotto love when our favourite ant keeper from canada does voice overs for the ants especiely the queen

As soon as moving the fire ants into the now empty tank was mentioned, I thought: "You forgot to apply the talcum powder barriers, didn't you?"

My guess is they use the taller props to climb onto the lamp, and made their escape that way.

I definatly think AC has lost it since he's talking to the ants and the ants are responding Also may I suggest getting voice actors for your queen's ? Make each queen unique with a fan being able to voice the queen

Dude, I don't know how you can make something so mundane as keeping an ant colony into one of the most interesting topics imaginable. You always have me hooked on your videos.

Leaving aside that AC is having full blown conversations with his ants, can we appreciate the fact that bro just got tricked by an ant?

Oh man! Talk about the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers! Great episode! I absolutely love when you do the dialogue between the Queen and yourself. And when she does that evil laugh….priceless, absolutely priceless! Can’t wait for next week… it’s going to be a long 7 days waiting on pins📍 and needles 🪡

At 7:46 you can see the queen laying an egg. After the huge deal he made about capturing that on film in a previous video, for it to just nonchalantly happen here without focus is kind of neat.
