I personally wasn't introduce by any video, but instead by my dad who is an entomologist and loved ants when he was a kid as well. Although I would probably show people Ants canada videos because of how friendly they are to the unexperienced.

It's funny that you ask this. I've always been into bugs and was searching youtube for videos on how to make a bottle terrarium for plants and then youtube recommended that I watch a video of someone moving an ant colony into a tank name the "Hacienda Del Dorado". As soon as I saw that this colony had queens and brood and wasn't just a regular ant farm, I knew it was something that I would love to do. Within 2 days I had already caught a P.imparis queen that stupid old me let escape. About 2 and a half months later I caught my colony of Formica that I named the Abdolemons. I now have three colonies but, one of them I may be releasing soon due to them not doing well at all :(


I accidentally froze all my ants

My first ant video was Mikey's weaver ant terrarium.
