Greetings ant lovers,
 
I have been busy touring the US and will continue going around for the next few weeks, filming ant videos a long the way! This week's video explores the ant diversity of New York City.
 
We offered New Yorkers $100 USD if they could correctly guess how many species of ants live in the city. Check out what happened!
 

Ant love forever!

I was just saying how you should actually host your videos in person, when you're in the field, and it looks like you are headed in that direction. You just need a cameraman. :P

Fire ants fly while Black Crazy Ants double clone themselves to enable inbreeding and accept roving queens! Check out our newest video on ant reproduction that will blow your mind!

In this week's video, we sat down with Dr. Corrie Moreau from the Chicago Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois to find out what it's like to have a career in myrmecology. Hope you like it!

I really like the Yellow crazy ants video How long does it take for these type of ant's colony to get that big? Their brood size is "crazy" !

 

Can't wait for the Hillary version  ;) ....... :lol:

Here in the Philippines, these colonies grow much more quickly. I bet this is a 6 month old colony. Pretty crazy right? No pun intended.

Is your permanent residence in the 'Pines? nd then you go back to north america now again?

Yes, based mostly in Manila (hope to hang out), but I do bounce around quite a bit. Heading to Korea next in a couple weeks but sadly ants are hibernating now. :( 

 

And as promised...

Happy it's not North Korea.

You should make a spacious honeypot designed formicarium, I'm a big fan. Ant love forever!

That Hillary video was way too short. Please make some comparison videos again, I loved the video with the Burger meats - it's kind of interesting to see what ants prefer when given choices (although I expect the fire nation to just consume everything that comes into their path at their current size).


We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

No, a very skilled cakemaker friend created them. She's great right?

I will definitely do more Ant Reaction videos. The next one should be uploading Wednesday.

 

NEW VIDEO: Part 2 of our new Yellow Crazy Ant Supercolony. See what happened to Queen 1, VOTE for a name for the colony, and watch them do an Ant Mannequin Challenge!
