I currently am raising three young, promising pet carpenter ant colonies (Camponotus spp.) each in separate ant farms, but what I have planned for them is what's truly exciting. In this episode, I introduce you to our three cute carpenter ant colonies, as well as, introduce to you my plans for them and other ant colonies in my Ant Room - a project of enormous proportions that will be pretty exciting from a scientific standpoint. Hope you enjoy this week's carpenter ant episode. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    Missed you last week but am glad that you are taking a much deserved vacation break. 👍💯🐜♥️✌🇨🇦♥️♥️
  • The yellow/orange carpenter ant colony I would recommend calling them, The Golden Honey Army.
  • @CrimsonRoblox
    Carpenter Ants always the best and most easiest and beginner ant species to keep and care for. Can't wait for your massive setup. It'll be like Disneyland lol.
  • OMG!!! Ok, now I am really, really, really excited! I have always dreamt of seeing an Ecosystem set up! With the plants, the various ant colonies and their different nesting traditions. Some in the ground, some on a tree ( or a facsimile of one), plus all the other insect residents like detritivores, predators, the ritualistic relationship between ants and aphids/sap sucking insects and so on! If anybody can do it, and succeed, then it is you Mikey!! Go for it!!🤩🤩👍👍👏👏👏👏🐜💖
  • @darkplayerltd
    I'm actually been waiting for AntsCanada to do this. Ever since I saw a natureTuber do a super massive Terra Tank, I've been wishing to see it here. Dreams do come true in the most silliest way.
  • @LadyZiMom
    At 3:04 you can see some mites on the ants of the yellow carpenter ant colony. Hoping it is the good ones since the colony seems so active! I'm nervous about the idea, but hopefully through doing it we can learn more about the ants?
  • @fnfsoul

    The colonies are amazing. The plan sounds so interesting. It's going to take a long time to make that.

    Where ants live: test tubes ( small colony’s found by ant keepers), rotting wood, ground, dry ground, leaf baskets and ant terrarium.if I missed any, please say.
  • @oltyx6623
    Best case scenario is that the ant colonies all mix together just fine. Worst case scenario is that the ant colonies mix together and then escape.
