Sugar Ants | Tandem Running Their Way to Victory 

Your videos are BBC, National Geographic etc.-quality worthy dude, great work!

Wow! That part about how the workers lay their own eggs when the queen dies is extraordinary! It's the perfect survival strategy... *sigh* I Love Ants.

Your videos are therapeutically relaxing

It would be great to cover Iridomyrmex next. Such an omnipresent, aggressive and ecologically dominant genus

Beautiful footage, and very informative! Thanks again.

I just got a queen ant but I got sad because it had wings and I was like prob isn't fertile but it just ripped the wings of yesterday so I'm super happy. It will be my first colony if everything goes well 😁

Wow this video has no dislikes, good job Ants Australia, you sure got a lot of positive fans! what a great community you have built!

This was amazing because I couldnt find this kind of information on the internet

I love your videos! I play them for my students regularly. Please make more when you have time! :)

Amazing job man, you put a ton of effort into these and it definitely shows. Love it!

Another vid I will watch a million times

I always wondered how sugar ants in a jar with bulldog ants, prevailed, as a child and now I know! Many thanks and keep up the good work!

Finally a New vídeo... keep doing It man \o/

Polyrachis ant next ? I see a lot of them in Queensland. They are semi claustral ants but there isn't much information on them, that's why you should make a vid on them. I've heard that some can even swim and bond leaves together.

Great work Jordan! These are getting better each time!

you're like an australian david attenbourough, love the narraration!

I would love to start a banded sugar ant colony! Thanks for this informative video , Jordan.

I love your content. It's such high quality and I definitely hope you keep making content for a long time.

Very interesting and informative. Loved to see my "old pals" doing great :). Your voice is so suitable for these documentaries. Keep it up!

Bro your videos are amazing , easy to follow and you speak clearly and give awesome amounts of facts on what ever kind of ants you are talking about . Ants canada is an awesome channel as well and i fully believe that ,with ants canada story telling and your amazing knowldge , you would make a great team . You are teaching me about diffetent kinds of ants that iv never heard of before

Used to have a banded sugar ant highway going through my backyard as a kid, and I used to love observing them and their tandem running behaviour

This video is so interesting. Amazing production! I just subscribed to your channel.

Honestly, who would dislike this video? The narration, music, and cinematography go almost perfectly. As long as these videos are made, I'll be a happy person.

Man this was really cool. I've been watching AntsCanada for a while, watched your older videos too being from Oz. Stoked that you are making videos again. How long were you filming to get all this footage? Super good footage too, really cool man. I caught my 1st queen alate this year of this species but she escaped on me haha, I was spewing. Didn't realise how strong they were. Gotta wait another year to get a fresh alate haha. Keep the vids coming man, very keen to see your info one about keeping these.

lol, they like trolling opponent players by burying their nests, or stubbornly refusing seniors. love how the narration gives them a bit of personality xD

Camponotus are my all time FAVORITE ant species! I am so glad you made this!

Thank you for sharing so much about sugar ants

I know a lot about ants but this is the one species I didn't know much about sugar ants so this video helped me

Great video Jordan, can't wait for the next one! What do you suggest feeding a colony of sugar ants in captivity?

These are awesome!

Great Video !!

Camponotus Aeniopilosus was the ant most showed in this video. They’re the black headed and abdomened ants with orange or redish colouring in between their head and abdomen. Also know as the Banded Sugar Ant. I have a colony of these and they’re really great, they have a few different castes, there’s the queen, the nanitics, workers and the majors. This makes for a great viewing experience. They have massive broods a few months into the lifespan which are cool to look at, as they’re often piled in order of age, at one end of the massive pile are the eggs, then larvae, then cacoons then the few hatching on the end. It’s awesome to see how they organise and care for the brood. They’re great for beginners too, providing a challenge but nothing too serious either. They are low maintenance only requiring a feed once or twice a week (a source of protein and sugar - mealworm/cricket and some honey). And despite the size of some of the bigger majors don’t hurt when they bite, you can feel it and all, but it’s just a small prick. They’re also fairly clumsy and so are easy to feed when in a tub outworld/formicarium. Just take off the lid and place food inside then replace the lid, you’ll probably be done before they realise anything even happened. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent video 😊 highly interesting ❤

What awesome timing! My first camponotus consobrinus egg hatched yesterday

I love this videos!!

you deserve more subs👍👍

I forgot I was watching RU-vid for a while even. Wow, that was like a professional mini documentary

Your vids are ow so cool!!! You need to stay going

Amazing

Amazing video.

Brilliant video! You should do a video on Pheidole next!

Wow really good video

Amazing 🤩

Your ant videos rock

Just got to say, your channel is fucking awesome, every video is utterly enthrawling and interesting and your videography is spectacular. so glad you have so many subscribers and that people are following, so you can keep doing more. Any tips on getting a colony of sugar ants started, have heaps of colonys around my place in melbourne, have always want to since i was a kid but each time i find a queen ive never got anything like an aquarium which ive always considered the only thing i could start one in, as i have limited space? any tips would be great, mite have to try the test tubes but always thought that would be too small. Cheers, if you get a chance to reply inbetween the hundreds of hours of video editing you much have haha.

OMG IM SO HYPED

ants are so interesting

I was wondering about the name of a specific sugar ant, they tend to be all dark black, and incredibly small. Their colonies only have very few entrances and they tend to flee rather than fight back if provoked by human activities ( which is how I was able to safely observe them ) and the queens are about 3 times the length of the workers, they are really fun and unique because of their behavior so knowing the name would really be appreciated.

Got to love Camponotus ants!

where do you get all this footage? its fantastic

Banded sugar ants are my favorite ants, I spend weeks in a row studying these cuties!

I just got a sugar any colony from any Canada and I find this very exciting.

Great video as usual Maybe video about Atta sp. or different species of Pheidole ? A greeting from France

Jordan I think it would be really cool for you to do a video on Pheidole AKA big headed ants because I have a young colony and I know you are keeping some. Thanks so much for your vids they are the best ones I can find! 🐜

When I was a little kid I once saw two carpenter ants attacking a lightning bug by grabbing its wings. It was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.

Awesome video, i subbed...
