AC, I would like to thank you for getting ant keeping recognized by thousands. Your channel has brought many here, and into the hobby of ants!

Hey Mikey I wanted to thank you for all your contributions to antkeeping. You've introduced thousands upon thousands to hobby and I'm thankful that I stumbled upon one of your videos all those years ago.

OMG!

For real though, thank you for bringing me into ant-keeping four years back. Your content inspired me to take in interest in these creatures that a decent amount of other invertebrate culturists ignore altogether. You have contributed vastly to the popularization and growth of the antkeeping hobby. 

I'd also love to see more recent and up-to-date antkeeping tutorial videos that can keep the new generation informed about ant care. We appreciate your new videos and the hard work you put into them , but a throwback to the informative tutorials on your platform, or at least a recall would be really nostalgic. Another ant-hunting video would also be really cool to see.

^^^so much this!

I feel I massively enjoyed your older videos that were catered more to the small hobbyist, which are the videos that got me hooked in the first place. Ant hunting videos are also really fun to watch as well.

Yes, ant-hunting videos are great, I would love to see some from you and have more on YouTube in general, the Philippines have an amazing ant diversity that I would love to see in a video, that is, if you are allowed leave your house of course, I don't know how bad the virus/lockdown is in the Philippines
