I have to say, my favorite part of this series so far is the running storyline of the acrobat ant (and for the purposes of the story, it’s definitely just one individual acrobat ant) constantly talking trash to much larger creatures and threatening to spray them with formic acid while they either completely disregard him or fail to notice him entirely.

The worm in the video: Terrestrial planarians, relatives of the well-known regenerative flatworms, are fascinating creatures. Known for their remarkable ability to regenerate, these land-dwelling planarians can reproduce through fragmentation, where each part has the potential to grow into a new worm. Even more intriguing is their predatory nature, especially evident during wet weather when they actively hunt. They utilize viscous slime trails to trap small prey like slaters and millipedes. The planarian then engulfs its victim in slime and feeds through its belly-located mouth. Interestingly, their digestive system has only one opening, serving both for ingestion and excretion. This unique biological feature, along with their regenerative abilities, makes terrestrial planarians an intriguing subject of study.

I like the vacuum idea. Even if you don't get rid of the entire hoarde, you are the best and most effective predator possible. You can be specifically targeting them alone. You can take as many as necessary without having to completely eliminate them. You can do it without harming anything else in the environment. Gradually, your vacuuming will become less and less necessary as the balance of life reaches homeostasis. Eventually, even the crazy ants will be brought into check. I look forward to watching the journey!!!

@Ofnir_Grabacr_ 9 месяцев назад
Yes, the Green Reaper still has at least 2 more molts before she reaches maturity. Fun fact about mantises is that they don’t grow their wings until their final molt, and the previous molt will have 4 little sacs on her back which she currently does not have. These sacs are her developing wings. That will be your clue in as to when she’s near fully grown. You should also be very careful about introducing the other mantis even if it is male. Most mantises will happily cannibalize their own species, so you might want to wait until they are both sexually mature (they’ll both have their wings) that way they might have a chance at mating before one devours the other.

Great information! Can Mantises mate easily with other breeds or is it common for them to be too genetically different to mate? Like with dogs and cats we know it's easy but spiders and ants never mate outside their genome. Come to think of it, I don't even know if there _are_ insects that can mate outside their genome, I assume they must be able up to a certain point for evolution to work, right?

@@AntsCanada Maybe in the soils of your backyard, I've found them in pots or under bricks very often, so they wouldn't really be a hassle to find. They might prey on the marauders and the termite(they could be an easier target, but seing how hidden they are in this state, they would mst likely bump into the black crazy ants and their brood pile before meeting the termites), but the black crazy ants are the easiest to hunt as they are fragile, and most they could do.is Spray acid on their scales. The marauders could still defend themselves using their large majors to bite onto the snake, hopefully scaring it away. Also, keep the series going as long as you can. It's really is helping me learn how ecosystems work, so maybe soon, I could make my own.
@Shadow-jk6ip
@Shadow-jk6ip 9 месяцев назад
@@duploman1000 ye, these snakes are pretty much like earthworms, with their main defence mechanisms is their point tail. They also have super small mouths, being able to only eat the larvae of the smaller majors and the minors in the marauder colony. Plus, the marauders could scare the snake off by biting down on its tail, making it flail around. The black crazy ants can't do anything like that. The only thing they could do is spray acid on the scales of the snake, which to the ants seems extremely tough. The termites are the easiest target, but they are hidden deep inside the stump, so it would likely bump into a huge brood patch of the black crazy ants.

I think it will be necessary. I question just how much of the "resilience" is due to nature "fighting back" versus human replenishment of the tank. Sure, the sheer number of crickets overwhelmed the ants this time but I highly doubt enough survived to produce such large numbers again and even if they did, the previous feast means the number of ants will have quadrupled by then.

If this truly is about witnessing nature proceed, it seems foolish to project human bias into it. Nature does not have a concept of invasive. It moves forward and changes in many different ways.

They eat pretty much everything that their environment has: soil, plants and roots, living or dead animals, fungi or even bacteria. Some of their species can be pests if they happen to be in farming fields, but some are important in maintaining the nutrient cycle in soil and for pest control. And they don't have eyes at all, these are specs of dirt stuck on its head.

What about adding a blind snake/worm snake? They’re a species of snake that feeds mainly on earthworms, but will also feed on slugs, snails, spiders, caterpillars, and yes ants. I remember that you’ve previously had an experience with one of these snakes way back in 2017 when one found its way into one of your terrariums. Back then you were scared it would eat your eats, but perhaps in a massive vivarium like Pandora, it’d be nice to have an apex ant predator to help control the ant population. Just a thought, you’re doing great with this documentary on Pandora by the way! Ant Love Forever! 🐜❤️

As I commented a few episodes ago, some kind of dedicated ant predator needs to be added to the vivarium. The explosive growth of the Dark Horde means that without some kind of biological control, they will soon destroy the ecosystem and hunt out all prey species.

Placing the pitcher plants close to the dark hoard's trails but away from other animals will be a good start. Personally my bigger fear is that the prey needs of the predators in the environment, including the ants, will at some point outpace the ability for the prey animals to keep up. Pantdora is pretty large for a vivarium but it is only so big. For example, I don't think we saw a single sign of those really colorful roaches this episode, when we have seen them every episode prior at least once. A natural environment also has more parasites and fungi, because those organisms are naturally harder to introduce by accident than the animals that you have introduced by accident. Some sort of parasite that goes after the black crazy ants specifically would emulate the natural world too. If it were a parasitic fungus, mite, wasp, or something else very visual, that could even create good content. The last possibility is to give the marauders or acrobats a boost or advantage. Both ants have proven to hold up in a fight and perhaps they can limit the dark hoard if they are boosted somehow.

Something you could do against the dark hoard is place objects into the vivarium for them to move into. Since they move often it should not be to hard. Once they do you can take the object out taking brood and ant queens with it effectively lessening there numbers. I know that you like the more peaceful options so there is one. But this could be pair with test tubing fire ants into key areas of the stump. Obviously make sure no fire ant queens are involved. With the new camera it would be easier to identify key areas where brood and queens are. This would also motivate them to move to possible extraction nests as well.

Honestly, I think you shouldn't give up on the idea of maybe vaccuuming the horde at some point so soon. The goal wouldn't be to erradicate them, but just keep them from overwhelming the entire ecosystem. The problem is I can't think of any predators that could cull their numbers without also threatening the marauders. The crazy ants will be fine if you take out 50% of their swarm, they will just take time to rebuild and meanwhile wouldn't be as big a threat. Think of it as another ecological event

@McP1mpin
@McP1mpin 9 месяцев назад
Yeah he's a little too optimistic I think. Like when he celebrated finding the Marauders in the soil because black crazy ants don't maneuver on soil as well. That's fine and dandy until the numbers overwhelm the hard surfaces and they inevitably move into the soil with the sheer numbers to overcome their venerability on soft surfaces. Same with the crickets. Sure, some of them survived this time but that feast is going to fuel the ant numbers and there is no way the crickets will be able to reproduce fast enough to survive the next round. Eventually they will run out of small food and turn their sights on to larger prey like lizards and then it's game over for the vivarium. Personally, I'm disappointed the pitcher plants won because I don't think they have a chance at making a dent versus predatory frogs.

The two specimens you showed in the video are both still juvenile nymphs, and any attempt at pairing them now will result in one attacking the other as potential prey. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have about mantises and I will do my best to answer them for you.

Hey AC, I don't think there's anything you can fully do to eradicate the Black crazy ants on your own, so I think instead you should take all the lessons you've learned over the years about ant-keeping and apply the opposite. Yes, vacuum them up every move they make, continue to probe into the nest and shine lights and stress them out. Do everything in your power to keep the black crazy ant colony stressed and panicked all the time. That'll slow their growth, as stress does for ants. That's the best you can do, is stunt their growth and keep them stressed out so that hopefully our native colony of Marauder's can gain an advantage to build the numbers, sense the black crazy ants weakness, and deem an assault is viable. That's your best chance at getting rid of the BCA, is for your Marauders to do it for you, and you should do everything in your power to put the marauder's in the position to deem a war on the BCA to be viable and worth it, and stressing and weakening the horde, as well as supplementing and helping the marauder's grow is the best way to do that, if their colony gets large enough, they'll deem the tree stump is where they want to be, and they'll eradicate the weakened competition to do that if they have the resources to do so themselves.

Hey Mikey! If you do plan on removing the black horde, unfortunately, I think removing the stump is the only reliable course of action, we know that a large majority of the black horde are within that stump, and I think they should be moved before they run out of space and move in the soils or else where. Once the stump is removed, the ants either need to be culled or transferred to another man-made ecosystem (as they are invasive and can't be released). Most if not all wood used for terrariums are typically boiled to remove hazards which include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other organisms to avoid unwanted introductions. My heart aches each time I see the black crazy ants as I know how destructive invasives can be from my classes, but at the same time, I understand that keeping them within pantdora can open a lot more questions and give us many answers in the scientific community if pantdora reaches an equilibrium with the black horde! That would be amazing! Best of luck to you, and amazing work!

The hatching of the cricket nymphs is like a miniature version of the hatching of sea turtles. I still suggest Banded Bullfrogs or Painted Toads to control the numbers of the black crazy ants if ever you can find some. The Banded Bullfrogs would burrow underground to sleep, but would emerge and sit by a trail ants and snatch up as many as they can. They are known to climb as well, so they can probably themselves higher up the tree stump each night to feed on the trail of ants. An added plus is that they'd also feed on any termite alates that would take flight, hereby also controlling their numbers.

You said the crazy ants are nomadic, so removing them would just be simulating them moving elsewhere. No different than adding new prey insects simulating them moving in from surrounding areas. As for how vacuuming them would likely not get them all, it's true but if you kept at it you may eventually get all the queens and future queen's. If nothing else you could keep the numbers from overwhelming the system.

My thought was run a hose from the stump to sn enclosed tank with goodies, water etc and try to coax the ants into moving into the other tank for removal. Even if you didn't get them all it would be enough maybe to allow other ants to reestablish

I don't know if ants are like bees, and the workers make queens by feeding them royal jelly for a certain amount of time or if the ant queen herself has to lay new queen eggs. If the workers make new ant queens you have a perpetual mess.

I think you should actively try and vacume out as much of the crazy ants as possible. After 2 weeks of this still continue treatment as seen but perhaps add a new native ant species, perhaps a carpenter ant

I really think you should do something about the Black Crazy Ants. I know the idea of Pantdora is to see an ecosystem and how it works. BUT invasive species are ecosystem disrupters and aren't "natural" technically. I know you probably can't necessarily remove them completely but If you could vaccume them up you could disrupt them enough to keep them under control. For example that second hole int he stump seemed to house A LOT of brood and queens and if you could get something in that hole to suck them up you could really do some damage to them by removing a lot of egg laying queens and future queens/brood. They need a culling so they don't get out of hand.

The Dark Horde are incredibly destructive. I would be tempted to vacuume them when they move around the set up. Might not completely get rid of them but would be a significant damage control method seen has how their numbers have exploded in such a relatively short time.

Bro, my interest in a bug's life just went from 0-100 real quick. Who writes the script for this show? This is great, and educating on levels unfounded in the public schooling criteria could never achieve in their delusional ways. I am legit fascinated with the idea of this ecosystem even existing, for starters. Really cool idea I am now going to have to look into. I have ventured into salt water aquarium ownership in my early 20s. It was a really cool experience, one in which I would do quite differently at this point in my life. I am just finding this channel for the first time, so I am excited to check the channel out. Great start though, very cool video. The main reason I backed off any interests of trying out the ant farm setup was due to I did not think you could get the views that your snake camera was able to. That is awesome. Thank you for providing.

@@AntsCanada But you should probably vacuum up as many of them as possible to give other species the chance to outcompete the black crazy ants. They are an invasive species for a reason, and they easily take over the entire system. Whenever you can reach them in large numbers you should try to vacuum them out. You won’t be able to exterminate them completely, but you should weaken them enough to give other animals a fighting chance. Some land planarians can overtake the ecosystem too, so you should look out for this weird worms and if they become to many.
