Welcome everyone to the Antiverse, the name given to this fully stocked Ant Room, whose
every flat surface above floor level, supports flourishing ant kingdoms of varying sizes,
in which colonies of ants, live, die, hunt, multiply, form pacts with other creatures,
and deal with a variety of life challenges and events, ranging from mite infections,
invasive wars from savage ants, cannibalism, struggles for power, and lately a giant flood.
Basically, the real ant life stories, which could give Game of Thrones a run for its money.
These tales of success and failure make up the incredible and often unpredictable world
of ants.
But aside from how incredible and epic the lives of these ants are, what makes each of
these ant kingdoms unique is that they happen to be the most well-known ants on Youtube.
Welcome everyone to the ants of the Antiverse, who have officially hit 2 million subscribers!
Please SUBSCRIBE to my channel and hit the bell icon.
Welcome to the AC Family!
Enjoy!
Greetings, AC Family!
Looks like we did it!
It seems like just yesterday we hit 1 Million subscribers which was mind-blowing enough,
and here we are now hitting the 2 million subscribers mark.
So, for this week's episode, I wanted to ask you guys what you wanted to see for our big
2M celebration, and well, many of you asked for a complete full ant room tour.
So AC Family, as usual, your wish is my command!
Today I will walk with you through the indoor biodome that has become my ant room, to visit
all eight of my current ant kingdoms, and if you're new, you'll also get a brief backgrounder
on each of the ant colonies' backstory so you may better understand why they've become
so special to us.
I realize that many of you may be new to the channel so be prepared to be mind blown, and
AC Family, if you're a regular to the channel, brace yourselves, because the updates I have
to share today on every colony will definitely shock you.
Also, keep watching until the end, because I will also need a lot of your input and votes
for certain matters, and I also have a special surprise to celebrate us hitting our 2M subs
mark!
So, let's begin with newest ant kingdoms and make our way down to the oldest.
Last week, we followed the creation of our newest addition to the Antiverse, the Plateaus
of Gaia, a multi-leveled terrarium whose design was to nurture a self-feeding system where
tiny creatures called springtails would breed, and the ants living here, would hunt the springtails
down.
All I needed to do was add organics, water, and light, and it has been working marvelously
so far.
The Plateaus of Gaia are home to the Jawbreakers, a ferocious-looking trap-jaw ant colony, with
menacing jaws which open 180 degrees and can snap shut with record-breaking speeds and
force.
The bites from these ants are intense, and if you watch last week's video, you'll see
how epic their hunting prowess is!
Now, I won't delve too much into this ant kingdom since we just saw them last week and
there is much to report on the other ant kingdoms ahead, but if you are interested to discover
more on the Jawbreakers, feel free to watch last week's episode.
Now, let's move on to the next ant kingdom, who won my heart and apparently many of yours
a couple week ago.
Welcome everyone to the cutest ant kingdom of the Antiverse - the mystic floating island
of Avista.
Avista is home to a bustling supercolony of Pheidole ants, also known as Big-Headed ants.
They're called Big-Headed ants because of the fact that these ants are polymorphic and
have massive majors, soldier ants with huge heads, which specialize in cutting open food
and defense.
On the day they moved in, like a scene of ant paparazzi, we also were lucky enough to
catch a glimpse of their four royal queens.
Here's Queen 1, 2, 3, and 4.
They founded this colony cooperatively because the species is polygynous, and allows more
than one queen per colony.
Today, the island of Avista continues to bloom, with new shoots developing from the Great
Tree of Wisdom, which stands at the center of the island.
The shoots appear as little reddish buds which give way to new baby leaves that grow in their
place.
The buds fall to the mossy floor to decompose naturally and fertilize the soils for the
tree.
And oh, it looks like we have some garbage to clean!
The ants have been eating a lot since they moved in, and I just love how they make it
so easy for me, to do my work, as their weekly garbage man to clean up after them, which
I am happy to do.
These are superworm exoskeletons, which their co-inhabiting springtails and mite friends
clean further of any remaining superworm meat.
And hey, look.
It seems they're not the only ones digging through the ants' scraps.
I see fly cocoons and a maggot!
It seems flies and gnats have taken advantage of Avista's open-concept design, and paid
the floating island a visit to lay eggs!
These new Avista-born citizens will become adult flies and migrate elsewhere to mate
and lay eggs onto some other decomposing material.
The ants don't seem to prey on them.
They are after all cleaning up after their mess, along with the springtails and mites.
Let's pat the area down to make room for today's offering: a cockroach head.
They'll surely love this!
And AC Family, watch this!
It totally shocked me to see a line of ants suddenly rushing out of nowhere to the roach!
How on Earth did they know about it so fast?
I wonder if they've come to associate my scent and close proximity with feeding time!
The ants came pouring out of their hole from across the island to collect the goods.
Look at how determined that worker is to pull that huge roach head.
Haha!
I think you're gunna need some help there.
Perhaps some strong majors' jaws will do the trick.
All this protein will be essential to the egg-production of their queens, as well as
the fairly rapid growth of their young.
Due to their four queen egg-production and all the food they've been eating these past
three weeks, I have no doubt in my mind they are growing in numbers fast underground!
When this colony outgrows Avista here, I plan to create a bridge leading to another floating
island, and continue expanding in this manner until Avista is a network of connected floating
islands.
Wouldn't that be so cool?
Alright AC Family, new and old, while the ants are feeding here, it is now time to cast
your vote.
Let's give this four queen super colony of big-Headed ants an official name, shall we?
Please take a quick moment to vote here, on my top 5 picks from your name suggestions
in comments from their last video.
Thank you AC Council for your input!
We will announce the results in a future video.
OK, time to move on.
Let's move eastward to revisit the enchanted region of El Dragon Island, a kingdom which
quickly became an AC Family favourite.
It is a moated paludarium ant kingdom because like other past ant kingdoms on this regional
shelf, El Dragon here was under siege by a wild colony of pharaoh ants whose thirst for
ant blood and meat seemed to be insatiable, and even massacred a great past colony of
ours.
So, El Dragon was designed to be a moated world, to keep Pharaoh ant scouts out and
to swallow these ants up if they ever tried to swim across to get to the island, by way
of guardian Rasbora fish, who prowled this River of Dragon's Tears.
Like El Dragon's moated gators the presence of these predatory fish has worked at keeping
pharaoh ants away so far.
So, if you're new to El Dragon, initially this ant kingdom was inhabited by another
colony, called the Black Dragons, but was replaced due to their escape by another ant
colony, we've called the Platinum Dragons.
These ants are pretty cool, and are commonly known as lesser weaver ants, for their well-known
behaviour of making nests within leaves of trees and shrubs!
But for now the Platinum Dragons live here, quietly within the great skull that adorns
the eastern plateau of El Dragon.
They clean each other lovingly to help alleviate the affects of a plague which affects them.
You see, on the day the Platinum Dragons moved into El Dragon four weeks ago, we were shocked
to learn that they were battling a severe plague of mites.
You guys voted for us to proceed with mite therapy using lemon slices, but AC Family,
I think you will be surprised with what I have to show you now.
Check this out, guys!
On the night, I was going to start the lemon therapy, I offered the ants some sugar water
in a snap cap vial, which they absolutely loved.
But examining the ants' bodies, I immediately noticed something very exciting!
The ants showed signs of having little to no mites encrusting their bodies and eyes.
I maybe counted one or two mites per body if any, but this was much better than the
clumps of mites which infested each worker, back when they first came to us!
So this was totally amazing news!
It meant the phoretic mites were loving El Dragon habitat, and falling off the ants,
to become free-roaming mites, feeding on their usual decaying matter.
In fact, the ants were showing such promising signs of a healthy recovery and appetite,
that I decided to simply hold off on the lemon therapy for a bit, and see if their mite riddance
would continue naturally.
Look at them just devouring that cockroach like there was no tomorrow!
It was great to see them eating up all this valuable protein!
In fact, their excessive gorging on sugar water and cockroach meat was a good thing
for them, as they could transfer these nutrient-rich goods from mouth to mouth, a process called
trophallaxis, to each member of the colony, but most importantly to the queen, wherever
she was.
You see, when they moved in here, they only had one single larva, which was very critical,
because these ants actually need their larvae to spin the silk needed to glue their debris
nests together at least to make this skull a little less exposed to the elements, and
more enclosed to keep humidity in.
But because they only had one larva when they moved in, it was like they lacked the nails
and cement essential to building their ant house.
So for the past four weeks, they've resorted to living within this very open and drafty
skull.
The poor ones.
But, hey, now that the ants were eating lots, I was hoping the queen would therefore be
egg-laying lots, so they could get on with producing more larvae, so they could finally
build a much more suitable nest.
But AC Family, I have something to report, news that will shock you as it did me when
I discovered it.
A few nights ago, something happened with the Platinum Dragons.
Look!
Peeking into the skull one night, I was speechless.
The ants were completely gone!
Not a trace of them anywhere!
Oh no!
My mind raced as I immediately had Black Dragon flashbacks.
I assumed they had escaped, just like their predecessors did.
I checked the foliage above to see if it was touching the lights.
It wasn't.
I checked the waters for drowned ants.
Nothing.
I inspected the soils to see if perhaps the colony had relocated underground!
I could see no evidence of the Platinum Dragons nesting there, either.
And then I saw it!
AC Family, the news regarding the Platinum Dragons is that...
They've officially created a leaf nest!
Look!
Right there!
See all that debris?!
I literally jumped for joy when I spotted that the Platinum Dragons had created a royal
leaf suite, within the concave spaces of the leaves!
This was amazing!
And what was even more cool, is that it seems, the ants have actually ripped off the debris
walls from their old camp within the skull, and carried it way up, to incorporate into
their new home!
Alright!
These ants recycle!
Another reason that this was exciting news, is because, the fact that they've built this
much larger and more natural nest structure, indicates that for sure the colony had enough
larval force to produce enough silk to glue all this debris together!
As we hoped, AC Family, the queen has been laying eggs!
Yay!
They've even used some leftover roach exoskeleton to give their leaf nest structure!
Talk about resourceful, and look, there are some Platinum Dragons now, assumingly guarding
the nest entrances.
I also noticed some springtails had followed the ants up in the leaves, which was surprising
because I always assumed springtails were strictly ground creatures, but on El Dragon
I guess they've evolved into tree-dwellers.
Now I also noticed some peculiar webbing, adjacent to the nest, which I had a hunch
was not a Platinum Dragon structure.
Have a look!
Now I did some snooping, and I wasn't able to capture it here, but just this morning
I spotted and confirmed that indeed this was a spider's web, but the spider was super small
and not a threat to the Platinum Dragons.
My guess was that the spider was probably taking advantage of the small flies that were
attracted to the decaying roaches that the ants dragged up to their nest.
This was also super cool because this spider could also protect the colony, kinda like
a guard dog, against any patrolling pharaoh ants that may somehow make it onto the island,
to get at the Platinum Dragons.
Man, don't you just love when animals come together and team up?!
Just awesome!
Oh yeah, and there's one final piece of news to report about the Platinum Dragons!
AC Family, just this morning, as the ants dragged their latest meal up to their nest
to feed on, I noticed something that I think we all were hoping for.
I am pleased to announce that as of this morning, all the ants' body mites have officially disappeared.
Isn't that great, guys?
The Platinum Dragons are healthy, they have a new home, and they have a very promising
future ahead of them.
And now to move on to an ant kingdom we haven't heard much about lately.
In fact we've only seen them in one episode.
In the low lands, sits the Grove, the quaint territories of a young colony of terrestrial
carpenter ants.
Now, we haven't heard from them much because their colony is still young and they live
underground where we can't see them.
They're also nocturnal, secretive, and feed very infrequently.
Carpenter ant colonies as a rule, are relatively slow-growing when the colony is young.
The reason they feed infrequently is because they actually have repletes, specialized worker
ants who act as living food storage for the entire colony, which means they can gorge
themselves with food above ground when it's available, and then they can regurgitate and
feed all the food to these specialized fattened repletes, who then become the colony's living
food banks, to distribute food over an extended period of time, as needed.
A very useful adaptation if food above ground is scarce.
Hence, not much to report on them.
I do suspect the colony is living somewhere below this huge rock, but I'm reluctant to
lift the rock up to check, in fear of injuring the queen and young.
I feel in no time, these ants will be abundant and we'll be seeing them foraging above ground
more as the colony grows in size.
There is some news however on their ever evolving territories!
Some new plants have begun to sprout!
Like this cute spade-leafed plant here, and this very cool and cute miniature plant, which
I love the look of.
It kinda reminds me of a miniature version of mistletoe or something.
And look, some awesome patches of moss have naturally begun to grow in the Grove!
This was so awesome!
I have never been able to naturally grow moss in my terrariums, but here in the Grove, it
happened naturally, as they appear completely happy to carpet the ground.
Now, I still have hopes the colony will one day move into this hallow bamboo, where we
can better see them.
OK, so let's move on, to the Grove's twin territories.
Flipping the table around, we have the ever notorious wilderness, known as the Shire,
territories of our exotic colony of Asian bullet ants called the Black Panthers.
Every single time I look into the Shire, the territories look so different.
Look at all that healthy vegetation!
It truly changes the landscape!
Inspecting closer into the thick forest, some Black Panthers are working on a fresh cockroach
carcass.
These ants love their cockroach meat!
In fact, take a look at this.
One ant comes along, and completely ditches her recent catch of a pack of worms, and joins
in on the roach feast!
These tiny worms by the way, are also a regular food source to the Black Panthers, as I've
recently come to learn, and are routinely harvested by the ants, quite easily, from
the watermelon pieces I place into the Shire.
You see the watermelon is not only food to the Black Panthers, but is also food to a
variety of flies, as evidenced by this maggot here, springtails, and tiny worms which clump
together to breed, and I discovered the Black Panthers have been regularly harvesting these
worms, like gathering tasty berries, from the surfaces of the watermelon slices.
In fact, these ants have proven very intelligent in their techniques for food collection.
Of course, the ants prefer portable food items that can easily be carried back to the nest,
but when something is too large to drag back home, watch how crafty the ants are!
This ant grabs a mandible full of roach meat, and incredibly, starts to pull.
AC Family, watch closely as the ant displays a huge feat of strength, as it attempts to
literally pull the guts right out of the roach!
It is actually gutting it right before our eyes!
Amazing!
I could not believe what we were seeing!
As you can imagine, doing this requires enormous strength, but something tells me this isn't
the first time she's done this!
She relentlessly pulled and pulled with all her might, as more and more roach guts came
disconnecting from the roach's exoskeleton in a slimy mess.
Opportunistic mites latched on to feast on the freshly gutted food.
And with a final strong pull, the roach's guts were suddenly separated from the exoskeleton,
and the ant proceeded to carry this new fresh piece of roach meat home!
Unbelievable!
I cannot believe we just filmed this whole process!
Right, AC Family?!
As she brought the roach guts into the nest, it made me curious as to how the inner nest
was doing.
I moved the rock rampart concealing the nest interior aside, and peeked in.
Immediately, I noticed a tonne of cocoons all packed in a single cocoon hatchery!
Wow!
All these dark, brown sausage-looking things are Black Panther cocoons.
Within them develop adult ants.
This colony was truly growing!
And in a nearby chamber was the colony's larvae nursery!
Look at all those hungry, squirming larvae.
They cried and reached to feed from a piece of cockroach the ants had dragged into the
nest the day before.
It was amazing to see the Black Panther young like this, as we've seen in the Black Panthers'
previous episode.
I've never seen ant larvae so mobile before!
So, overall, it was very promising to know that the Black Panthers were also well on
their way to success.
They had healthy young, a new upcoming army of members in development, and have been quite
sufficient at gathering all the food they needed.
Alright AC Family, so now we move up to start revisiting the great OG colonies of the channel,
beginning with the Golden Empire, our massive colony of yellow crazy ants.
Welcome everyone to the Hacienda Del Dorado, the great ant kingdom which started off as
a simple, neat garden, but developed over time, into this huge partially open-concept
paludarium.
Now if there's an ant colony that's gone through a lot, it has been the Golden Empire!
These ants have been through so much, including surviving a mite plague and even merging twice
to form a super colony of now 8 queens, but not without a war first!
With their booming population and no predators to limit their population growth, we attempted
to add carnivorous plants into the lands and even introduced a predator, a praying mantis,
to hopefully control their explosive numbers.
None of these options proved effective for population control, and so we finally decided
to add this spring pool, called the Golden Springs, whose purpose was not only to provide
the ants with a fresh supply of water, but also hopefully naturally pick off a considerable
amount of weaker less nimble ants that fell into the Golden Springs, where they would
drown.
This solution has actually proven effective over the several months since the pool's installment.
The Golden Empire no longer seems over populated.
The Golden Springs have been the perfect population limiter, and within its waters lived a water
beast to feed on all the dead and drowned ant bodies.
Meet Emperor Sapphire, the colony's pet water beast who calls the Golden Springs home, and
he is super OC at keeping the pool spotless and tidy, but we love him for it.
Now, AC Family, this may shock you, but something has happened to Sapphire Emperor since we
last saw an update on him.
Here lies Emperor Sapphire's empty shell.
The Golden Empire has eaten all leftover parts to it.
You see, what happened was, Emperor Sapphire has once again, shed his skin, and I fed the
discarded exoskeleton that he didn't eat to the ants, which means, our Emperor Sapphire
here is even bigger now, than he's ever been before.
Have a look!
Let's coax him out with some fish pellets.
There he is!
He's still quite shy, but as beautiful as ever, and much, much bigger.
As he stepped partially out into the light, it made me realize that soon, we'll have to
relocate him into a much larger aquatic space.
It will certainly be sad saying goodbye to Emperor Sapphire, whom we've watched grow
from just a tiny crayfish to this huge gargantuan water beast, who by the way, could have left
his watery home at any time, but has been perfectly content living in these crystal
clear waters.
AC Family, do let me know in the comments what you think we should do with him, and
if we're going to replace him, should it be another crayfish or some other creature?
I gave the Golden Empire a cockroach to feast on.
I truly love this colony of yellow crazy ants, who have beaten the odds, and proved they
had what it takes to build a successful ant empire, despite all their challenges!
And so, AC Family, we're almost done our ant roster, as we move on to our second last ant
kingdom, that literally has had zero challenges over the two years we've had them.
Let's look at how the Dark Knights have been doing, our super colony of Black Crazy Ants,
living in their multi-unit setup, composed of naturally designed stacked AC Outworld
units, all connected by a network of tubing.
Now this colony has been so drama-free it hurts!
Trust me, I've tried to film them as often as I could, but there is always no update
on them ever, as they just seem to be the perfect, problem-free colony.
If I tried making a video on them, it would just be the same stuff as was covered in their
prior video.
The Dark Knights are one of two ant colonies to first inhabit this ant room, and the entire
time, they've lived in a rather simple setup, the conventional ant setup, involving tubes
connected to separate, contained units, which I do love.
It's what makes the Dark Knights' home unique from that of the other ant colonies of the
channel, because their setup is quite simple and not some complex paludarium, but wait!
Simple does not mean boring, at all.
No!
Look at all the different units they occupy.
We have Dark Knight territories here, connected by tubing all the way up here.
As well as behind the Hacienda Del Dorado, down this connecting tube to territories up
here, and even back there, an Uncle Milton ant farm.
In fact, the Dark Knights have the most expansive setup of all the ant kingdoms, with a total
travel area of 55 feet, which even extends the other way, via tube running way up here,
through a wall outside the Antiverse, and descending down to my first floor, into my
kitchen, and connecting to the territories of the Dark Knights of the South, an AC Outworld
and AC Hybrid Nest connection.
These ants naturally travel great distances and are largely nomadic in nature, which is
why its no surprise the Dark Knights have loved this current setup and proved to thrive
in it!
But AC Family, want to see the coolest part about all this?
Alright!
Watch what happens when I place in a roach.
I always try to stagger where I place the food, so the ants don't always get their meals
in the same place.
A few Dark Knights discover the new food, and this is when the magic happens.
Look at how quickly the message of new food spreads throughout the entire territories.
These initial scouts discovering the roach, instantly get excited and run off to spill
the tea to all members of the kingdom.
News spreads first to the nearest nest.
Workers come rushing out from underground as soon as they get news of their new food
prospect.
The news of food travels through the tubes through informants who rush out to nearby
lands and inform every ant it comes in contact with.
These ants then go on to spread the news of food, traveling through other tubes, to reach
ants in the distant regions.
This causes a slew of ants to come rushing in to check out if the quite literal "juicy"
gossip is true.
It doesn't take long before every member of the colony is informed of the new food located
in one of the units.
Of course, news spreads in all directions!
It also travels the other way, and travels down the primary highway leading out and into
the netherworlds below, to the Dark Knights of the South, which of course causes hungry
and excited ants to make the long commute upstairs and across, over to the exact unit
where it had been reported that a roach sits waiting to be consumed.
Isn't it just incredible being able to visually witness ant news spreading like this, throughout
all camps of an ant colony, over such a great distance?
I love observing the mechanics of ant news distribution particularly in this expansive
setup of the Dark Knights!
So it seems, this colony, as usual, is doing well and is problem-free.
Oh and if you're new to the channel, you may find it interesting that this colony is technically
immortal.
Yes, this colony just started off with two queens, but has grown to hundreds of reproductive
queens all laying eggs.
You may want to watch a past video on this colony, where I explain how the queens of
this species, can produce males which are genetically unrelated to their birth sisters,
a phenomenon which baffles scientists, but it means that the males of these ants can
go on to mate with their sister queen alates in the nest, to spawn even more egg-laying
queens, totally defying the limiting rules of incest.
Therefore, as long as no outer force kills the colony, the Dark Knights will technically
be self-producing and will live on and on and on forever.
Talk about the perfect ant colony, wouldn't you say?
So that concludes seven of the eight epic ant kingdoms of the Ant Room.
But now, we move on to our final ant colony, that has provided me with the greatest amount
of satisfaction over the years, but has also caused me the most stress, provided me with
the most challenges, and in every meaning of the word, given me the most pain!
They happen to be the very reason this channel first exploded onto the Youtube scene, and
are inarguably the most famous ant colony on this channel.
Welcome everyone to the Selva de Fuego, the South American biotope river paludarium home
of the Fire Nation, our massive colony of fire ants.
Leave a comment if you're a die hard Fire Nation follower!
I realize there are many of you.
The Dark Knights and the Fire Nation were the very first ant colonies of this ant room,
and it has been amazing to think that with just a single pregnant queen, the colony has
amassed millions and millions of aggressive, hungry, resourceful, and remarkably water-proof
ants.
About 20% of this ant kingdom is composed of a flowing river, matching their native
motherland territories of South America.
In fact, all plants and animals within this kingdom were hand selected for being South
American in origin.
It even has its own waterfall and automatic rain system.
But unfortunately, as you may have heard last week, the Fire Nation is currently facing
yet another crisis which I promised to explain this week.
AC Family, something has happened to their refugium, their hidden water reservoir housing
an extra team of cleaning plants.
I believe there has been a leak.
I don't know how or where the leak happened, but when I had discovered that the soil portion
of the Selva de Fuego was completely flooded and water-logged, I panicked.
I removed the outflow tube from the refugium and connected it directly to the waterfall
to restore the water flow down the river, but what scared me was how much water had
flooded the territories, and my only hope was that the queen had managed to surface
fast enough during the flood.
If she hadn't, the Fire Nation was inescapably doomed.
And as if this wasn't a problem enough, I also noticed that all our guppies, which once
danced within the waters of this river, were missing.
AC Family, our Guppy Gang was nowhere to be seen.
It looks like we have another major crisis to figure out and fix, and I need more time
to work on it, and figure everything out.
I will be sure to update you on everything next week, but meanwhile, leave me your thoughts
in the comments.
Should I replace the refugium or just completely get rid of it?
What do you think happened to the Guppy Gang?
Do you think the colony was able to surface the queen on time, in response to the flood?
As always, the fate of these ants depend on our concerted efforts and collective decisions.
Now with our collective consciousness of over 2 million of us, watching from all around
the world, we form the most powerful and united mass intelligence we've ever been able to
access, much like our beloved ant colonies of the Antiverse do, to problem-solve and
overcome challenges, and I do believe we can save the Selva de Fuego and our Fire Nation.
Crossing fingers, AC Family.
And that, guys, concludes our ultimate tour of the Antiverse, as it exists today, and
as usual, I will continue to do my best to tell all the stories of these ant kingdoms,
as they mind-blowingly unfold before us, so we can gain inspiration from these ants, which
are in many ways, a mirror of ourselves and all of mankind, would you say?
You know, I sometimes wonder, who may be watching us from afar, like a mass consciousness and
observer rooting for us secretly from some expanse of separation, as we manage our way
through worlds they created for us.
Mind-blown!
And at that, I conclude with our motto, which has remained unchanged for 9 years, since
the genesis of this channel, it's ant love forever.
AC Family, did you enjoy this week's long 2M subs episode?
Man, I hope and pray the Fire Nation and Selva De Fuegan inhabitants will survive their current
crisis, but with your help, I know we will fix this, so hit that SUBSCRIBE button and
BELL icon now so you don't miss out on the progress of this ongoing ant story, and hit
the LIKE button every single time, including now.
But now, AC Family, as promised, it's time for something a little special, as a celebration
of 2 Million subscribers!
To celebrate worldwide ant love, I got some of my greatest youtube friends to play the
ant scientific name challenge, where they do their best to pronounce the scientific
names of ants.
Perhaps you might recognize some of them.
AC Family, enjoy!
So I'm here to give you guys the authentic names of these ants.
It's your boy D-Trix and if this makes the cut, subscribe to my channel the Dominic Show,
hashtag ad.
The first ant, ahem, obviously pogonomemexmex ... abrbotusbotus...
Tetramorium sayspitum...
Anaploplease graclaspess....
Camponotus noveborasensis...
So I have some ant scientific names here and my job is to try to read these ant scientific
names to you guys who are watching.
Ok so the first one is Camping in Pennsylvania, ok camping in Pennsylvania USA, who wants
to do that?
So these are scientific ant names, um my personal favourite is Solenopsis invicta,uh which I
think is in Hary Potter.
I remember him from that one.
Paratre... paratre...paratrechina longicornis... it's when you paratroop to China.
Last but not least, your favourite ant obvi Diacomma roga sumpin'... roga sumpin'... rogawesome...
it's kinda like robitussin but rogasum.
Those are awesome ants.
Be careful of those ones because they bite!
Tetramorium immigrans.
Are they from a different country?
Haha!
They migrated from Europe.
Awesome!
Immigrants.
Ants?
Immigrants!
It sounds like a spell from Harry Potter.
Oecophylla..
Alright are they cheating in scrabble because why do they put an "O" when they can just
put an "E"?
Haha!
Camponotus, camponotus novaeboracensis...
Pogonomyrmex barbatus.
Uh, Crematogaster cerasi.
It's Ant love forever!
It's Ant love forever!
It's Ant love forever!
Ant love forever!
I'm just joking.
