@kade_ants433 2 года назад

you should have never put those campontous together. Your clearly only doing this all for the money at this point and don’t care for the ants. You also give out a ton of false information and trick your fans into buying your “professional ant keeping equipment” which is just plastic toys for ants to be kept in.

@SoggyBulbasaur 2 года назад

As an exterminator, carpenter ants always start colonies in moisture damaged soft wood, then start expanding into sound wood. They are also known for forming satellite colonies, which means they have multiple nests but only one queen. They transport their larvae from the main nest to one of the satellite nest and raise them there.

@raijasuni7481 2 года назад

Cool to know. He should see this. How soon will they start burowing in sound wood? Will they move if they are forced to?

@Dwarfgourami 2 года назад

Ants almost never carve their nest into fresh wood. Its really hard, and it takes long. I suggest trying rotten or at least a very soft type of wood, they like that. If you put wood in water for a long time (idk how long) it will be soft.

@Sylkis89 2 года назад

This like a wood mince though that was just pressed into being a tube? Should be fairly soft, but I wonder whether it smells with whatever was the binder

@Felamine 2 года назад

Soaking the wood and putting it through several freeze/thaw cycles could soften it up too. When the water in the wood freezes it expands the fibers a little. Let it thaw, soak it again, then freeze it again.

@deskslam4232 Год назад

I had a really good interaction with an ant once... it craned its head a bit, so I bopped it on the antenna gently. It fully extended its antennae and moved back a bit, before "tactically retreating" to its larger fellow workers and bringing them over. Ah, a younger sibling grabbing its older siblings to get a stranger... so adorable. They all proceeded to check and make sure I was not dangerous, and upon clearing my inspection, they allowed me to feed them with a little bit of jelly. I guess I'm a worker now as well, eh? I always bring a little jelly now daily to feed my ant buds... God damn ants and their being so damn cute...

@animefanatic9336 2 года назад

Carpenter ants typically nest in the dead or decaying wood of trees, stumps, and logs... Yes, houses, sheds, and lumber piles can become targets so they have a low chance of living in the good wood. Edit: i like the name redwood warriors for colony 7.

10 months late but I have an idea for if you ever do the cross colony into super colony experiment again, instead of letting them just wander out of the tube into a larger common area, introduce each one to your housing units (I forgot what they're called) to each colony with food, then tie those housing units to the common area so each of the colonies can gain the confidence to actually go out, and have space to grow appropriately, as well as add the buffer incase an ant of a different colony goes into the wrong hole again (giggity)

@AverytheCubanAmerican 2 года назад

To answer the first question on what to do with the other colonies, I agree that you should raise them until they are strong enough to be in the wild. The more native ants out there, the better to counter the power of the invasives. As for the names of 1 and 7: Colony 1 - I think Colony 1 should be called the Gardeners and the Queen Sonya, in reference to Sonya's Garden and naming them after the place is our way of thanking Sonya for allowing you to have a place to stay by the new Ant House while it's being constructed. Colony 7 - For Colony 7 either the 7-Elevens (the workers are the franchisees; the queen is the one in charge of it all, call her Slurpee) or the Lumberjackpots could work as well, a play on the word Lumberjacks and Jackpots combined since they're the lucky number, the first to grow and prosper, and lucky enough to get a new home.

Hey! I have some information regarding the lack of digging into the wood, Ive Carpenter Ants before, one colony for several years. I performed a few experiments, and found that Carpenter Ants prefer wood that is Moist, as dry wood, is difficult for them to burrow into. To clarify, they are perfectly capable, the difference being, moist wood has more "give" its easier to pull apart and work with, and a nest can be much more rapidly dug and developed, much more ideal , and minimizes the time the ants need to spend away from home to dig, especially a colony so young, while there's a considerable amount of workers, the ants may choose not to take the risk, and seek out soft, moist wood, as dry wood, has almost no "give" and takes the ants much longer to burrow into, which isn't ideal in the wild. They may very well burrow into this wood, but likely as a last resort, and will take them much longer to terraform to their liking Perhaps a softer and/or Dampened wood would trigger the burrowing, from here they generally do move into harder wood to better protect the colony I hope this helps!

@JonathanYeets 2 года назад

I feel like Colony Seven would be Mirkwood due to their original divergence from the Sindarin. (Seven being a different species of ant.) For those that don't know: they originally developed a language that was so different it was barely intelligible to the Sindar and Noldor, though by the Third Age is was almost forgotten. Along with their symbiosis with the Avari, a group of elves that-by elven standards-could pretty much be considered savage due to them never making the journey across the sea.

@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un 2 года назад

These type of ants require soft rotting wood to burrow/dig. They won't be able to dig in that.

Hey, I’ve used Vaseline to keep ants from coming inside our house through our bases and windows. And i only used thin layers of vaseline & or petroleum jelly around the edges. You should try slapping some on the top of the rim if the tank so that next time you want to keep the ants inside the tank!

Personal opinion of the names playing off each other. Some have suggested Yin and Yang, others Mirkwood and Lothlorien. Probably not original, but I like the idea of them being called The Seelie and Unseelie Courts, with Queen Titania and the Queen of Air and Darkness (or Queen Mab, depending on the story)

@GameRexem 2 года назад

@whitelynx7518 2 года назад

For the name ideas, you can name One of them Volhlort, because it resembles a wooden castle or a fort. Or a starwood, or pinewood (depending on the wood that you have there). And the colonies Pilgrims because they are the first colonies who would live in the wooden tower.

@Ovaltub 2 года назад

I see a lot of other people have said what I immediately thought as well; I think you may want to consider dampening the wood for the ants, see if that helps them burrow. I do also agree that it is probably a little early for them to leave.

@sueciamendez8345 2 года назад

maybe if you dampen the wood it would cause it to rot and i don't think that would be good for the colony to be borrowing through rotten would

I was thinking about the recent failed experiment, and you know what you should have done? You should have put 2 queens together before they hatched any eggs, or right when they hatched eggs. Then you could see what would happen when they hatched and if they accepted each other or not
