A lot of people mistake the bubble-wrap for protective packaging. You are supposed to use it to communicate with your new ants using Morse Code, which was invented by ants. Samuel Morse stole the idea from them. Usually you will be provided with a large enough sheet of bubble-wrap for a short greeting and to provide the map coordinates for the location where you want the colony to establish itself. If you just randomly pop the bubble-wrap your may confuse the ants or anger them. Congratulations on your hipster ant colony where deconstructed versions of popular ant dishes are served on sheets of rock.

The worker in 12:17 is indeed a worker that recently eclosed(the stage where an pupa turns into an adult in complete metamorphosis). Her exoskeleton is lighter coloured as her exoskeleton needs time to harden and darken.

@jasip1000 5 месяцев назад

I have quite the same Antstore digfix nest and outworld for my Camponotus Ligniperdia, for when the colony gets big enough to move in. I made a small chamber and entrance in the digfix for them, to give them a good start.

@syco1827 2 месяца назад

10:35 Fall damage was personal 😂

@bioinvasion_ 5 месяцев назад

11:54 That's pupal transport. To waste less energy, a worker gets into pupal (last stage of brood) position, and another one grabs her and carries her. Another note. Isn't that nest way too big for that colony? That nest is made for colonies with thousand of workers. (not the sand one, the one with the premade tunnels). The nest being so big can stress them and they will also probably deposit trash in the nest, causing potentially fatal mold outbreaks. Edit: I just watched the end of the video, my bad

Messor is a really great starter species. They grew fast and are easy to feed becuase the seeds last them for weeks. Messor likes dry terrariums/arenas/nest parts to collect and store seeds. No hydrometers needed. No acid, no stinger, claws for crushing only (the big ones can pinch, if they get you in your nail bed, but not brake skin) . Messor is an awesome species to keep. I have a Messor barbarus colony for 6 yeats now and it isn awesome. Stated with 21 animals and now it is uncountable.
