I had animals escaping their enclosures, it's not so shocking and jaw dropping. This tank had animals dying before, some are being eaten with some funny music on a background, so it's not that big either. One mantis is being eaten is fine, another one is dead is huge drama, but they're the same... idk, I'm not a fan of dramatic content in general. I usually watch based on my actual interests.

Have thought pretty deep on this, if they're in plague proportions in visible sight, then like the millipedes, what you don't see would really shock a person as to their full numbers. Hate to say, but maybe with them, perhaps a type of chemical called "Flatworm Exit" that's used in marine reef tanks, but not sure what it would do to ants or other insects. It would be best to experiment on each and everything in the system to see what dies and what doesn't. It's really true though, somehow the conditions have become right and I think by their actions of just crawling through; both of them - over time could cause disastrous results one would find hard to notice staring at it every day and not noticing subtle differences or changes. Or maybe it's already noticed in the form of the ants being already infested with parasites or mites now. That thing was covered. Being in a closed system like that, toxin buildup wouldn't take a very long time. Wish I had better answer. Salt? That would buildup to kill the plants is the only thing. I think he should seal every part of it off, even the cracks with plastic and just heat things up with steam for 5 days where nothing inside can possibly be alive and then start over with a fresh canvas. Also throwing the dirt out or sterilizing it as well. Massive project but it's a massive undertaking he's trying to achieve and with flatworms and millipedes, it's not going to last forever or have that "balance" he wants.

@@carolsdarksarcasm4223 Am hoping he reads this too because I find these animals extremely fascinating. A product they use called Safeguard or its isolated chemical Fenbendazole should be explored. Am always a "no chemical" person, preferring in reef tank systems (or any biome) to use natural biological control but extreme problems can call for extreme measures. Might be found in local vets or if lucky and researched enough, in it's pure powder form where maybe it could be lightly sprinkled after using it in a "test tank" that mimics the big one (including most inhabitants as display for test but is smaller) but it kills all different kinds of parasitic worms in dogs and other animals. Could be worth a shot to save the big display before it's too far gone with pests where a restart is required. All it should take is one flatworm to touch it, and that in itself might be enough. The problem is, the biggest problem, is the toxins they have even when dead and the slime they leave behind. That buildup from so many is going to "crash" the system. He should be manually pulling them on sight despite aversion to "worms" lol. At this point anyone can see it's necessary. A "tank crash" is a term we use in saltwater or reef tanks to describe not a tank crashing and falling to the ground, but rather, the whole ecosystem crashes - usually very fast too. One thing dies, hits the next one, hits the next one, creating a massive chain reaction, so on and so on, and in a half hour if you're not paying attention, you're whole entire 30yr old reef tank you grew out from fingernail size pieces and is suddenly nothing but primordial milky soup and bone white skeletons. That's a crash. Hope that doesn't happen to this tank but it's in trouble; that is for sure.

I can also imagine the Gymnopilus species are likely fighting amongst themselves and the Schizophyllum commune and various other possible wood saprotrophs living in the stump over area and nutrients, which is something you cannot see but is still notable through effects such as the disappearance of new fruiting bodies of some of these fungi from the stump for extended periods, which can also be attributed to the levels of resources left in the stump over longer periods of time and various other factors. There is essentially an unseen game of strategy playing out amongst the fungi in Pantdora.;

Didn't think that your mini-rainforest-series, that I freshly discovered, would get so close to me... but I definitely feel you about the mantis ! I had the great pleasure of finding a Mantis in our garden (middle Europe, I think it's mainly "Mantis religiosa"), that was in the middle of the process of laying her egg sack !! I couldn't belive my eyes that I was so lucky to catch that moment personally ! 🥰 and then I finally knew what these strange white structures were, that I had already found randomly again and again in the garden: Mantis-egg-sacks ! 😁 I thought it was some kind of cocoon, but now I know better 😆 and I was a bit shocked to learn about Mantis that after laying the eggs, it will soon be over for them and if not, then their life span of only 1 year will end anyhow 😢 very sad to hear that they only live that short... the more merry when I find new Mantis in the following year, hiding in the garden, partially 2-3 at the same time (hidden on different places of course). So I don't know why, but I'm glad that our garden has been blessed to be chosen for these rare insects 😊and I'm already curious, what will come out of the final package of your Green Reaper ! 🤩 oh.... and speaking of rare insects: last year our "raised bed" in the garden got inherited by 'scoliid wasps' (should be "Megascolia maculata"), that were swarming all around during day time, so we better kept some respect distance - but in the late evening, when they were resting, we could harvest our vegetables, that were as huge and fabulous as never before ! I guess these wasps helped with lice and other small insects that were consuming the plants the year before ?...

This is the way.

i love how you said “Those males that have serious rizz,” so calmly

The amount of calm that comes with each of these videos, with light giggles sprinkled throughout have kept my anxiety at an all time low recently. I’m sorry for your losses. Mother Nature cane be a beautiful blessing but her ugly sides shine through as well. Keep preserving and remember.. in the great words of Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum): “Life.. *UH* ... Finds a way”

This was the story of a cricket named Stanley Stanley lived in a terrarium in a big building where he was filmed by AntsCanada KZread channel. Cricket Stanley's life was simple. He walked along the vines and ate some leaves. This is what Stanley did every day, of every month, of every year And although others might have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that he got a chance to eat some leaves, as though he had been made exactly for this. And Stanley was happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened, something that would forever change Stanley, something he would never quite forget. He had been walking along a vine, when he realized that nature has its own plans on his life. Never in all of his weeks at the terrarium has this happened, this strange thought never came to him. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time. But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, Stanley left his now empty husk and went on a new adventure as a part of an ecosystem he was already in.

You really should have a camera posted to the vivarium 24/7, so in those cases where an insect dies you can rewatch it and get a confirmation👀 Love the series!

I've had other favorite colonies that got me watching 90% of their episodes, like The Golden Empire, but this vivarium is something else, next level. Truly top-tier KZread happening.

I just built my first few Terrariums as I randomly stumbled onto your channel. I've made 10 Jars this week, made a container for Mold growing and bought my first few spring tails that are going to be cultivated. I am so happy with this journey and excited to see more of your videos!! Thank you for the inspiration.

These episodes are beginning to creep me out but I love this channel

If you would of told me a few weeks ago that I would be watching a vivarium show on youtube every week I would of thought you mad. There is something infectious about how much you enjoy and love what you are doing that really comes across and makes your content hit so much different that expected. Love the show, keep up the good work man.

I have never felt so sad about any insect before, but Stanley and The Green Repper both passing away just hit me differently, I hope one day you'll have another bush cricket just munching on those vines someday. May both Stanley and The Green Repper never be forgotten and may they both rest in peace.

I've known for a while that female mantises eat the males after mating, but I assumed you knew this information already so I was genuinely surprised when you discovered that Green Reaper had layed an egg sac. What a plot twist! XD

R.I.P. Stanley. You kept it real ever since you were Lady Cady 🙏🏽

Hearing the way you view fungi gave me a completely new perspective on mushrooms. Your storytelling is thought provoking and beautiful. ❤🍄

I was beyond happy when I saw the mantis egg sac, almost brought a tear to my eye. Never did I think the male would have somehow completed his mission and secured the next generation of mantises before he was eaten. After the death of Stanley and the green reaper I was a little sad, I’ve been watching this channel since the ant colony days and I’ve been emotionally invested in this jungle for ages. Great to see that nature always works out in the end, regardless of what happens. There are never any mistakes, everything is meant to happen the way it does. This is huge for the future of Pandora.

@@dwcscca We don’t know if she mated, there were 1-3 hour gaps in between the shots in the video, so no one knows if the male was able to mate with the green reaper. Apparently, it was able to because if not, an egg sac would not have been able to form. Also, we don’t know if they somehow mated on the first night, or some time when the cameras weren’t on at night or throughout the day.

This series is a work of art! I was wondering here,,, how about adding some Bioluminescent Fungi? It would look incredible! Keep up with the good work!

I'm so happy to see the termites are still alive!!! I feel like after what they've been through, they deserve to be given a name, much like the Marauder Ants were. I nominate calling them the Last Bastion.

That was a sad ending for me, the death of Stanley, green reaper, and even the grass hoppers. It’s even more sad that mites are now taking over the terra raiders! This episode was such a journey for me! I will be so in to the next episode!

You've dedicated so much time and energy to this. I've learned so much I didn't know before. Thank you for this. You are not only entertaining, but educational and interactive. I'm sorry for the loss of the little ones...it's always hard to watch a little life you've observed for a long time and grown attached to passes on...

Your video have gotten better over the years, and so have all of the habitats you create. One thing I noticed most of all after watching one of your older videos is how absolutely JACKED you have gotten. You've gotten buff over the years!

The return of AC’s fear of earthworms!

What’s cool about this channel is that Mikey makes learning fun and entertaining. I hope this series last forever.

😢 RIP to the fallen, it was so sad, but at the same time it's so beautiful to see new babies popping up, new life sprouting, surprise new fungi, eggs everywhere. Awesome episode, bud, keep up the good work, this has very quickly and easily become my favorite series.

It could help eat the millipedes that are multiplying fast and finally add a mammal into the vivarium!
