making the soil wet will cause the ants to start digging or moving around the sand into the tube, possibly reducing the vision into the tube if they plaster it along the walls of the tube
So nice to see these first reactions when they enter a new world... You could've easily made that segment longer an still keep your viewers. Great footage!
@@AntsVienna interesting... Or maybe the stats are skewed by the people who keep rewatching the narrated sections to get the most out of all the useful information you share?
Hey there.. Sorry for the long wait... I had to clear up some problems in real life before I got time to sit down and be creative again on YT. Thanks for asking!
Nice to here from you again ! Simple setup for the ligniperda 👌 Where did you get the tube insert to reduce the diameter ? I'm curious about the experiment feedback you teased us !
Experiment update vid is coming in +- 2 weeks Yes, simple setup for everyone to replicate Inserts I made myself with 3d printer, as well as feeder I've been thinking about YT all the time, but had to take care of stuff real life first
Found 1 queen and I have 2 questions: should I feed my queen some sugarwater before hibernation, and How do the summer queens survive the hibernation in the wild? It's like 7 months
Hello there. I would keep feeding the Queens/colonies until you see them no longer being interested in food. In the wild the ants dig themselves under the ground, which is warmer than surface, so they usually make it through. Insects in general can get frozen and revitalised when temperatures rise again.
In the time it took you to post I got 3 colonies and caught another which was a pogonomyrmex occidentalis queen not that long ago qnd she got her first nantics 😭
Thanks! The box was part of a set called godmorgon, but not sure if they are still selling it. I guess you could do the same with the KLIPPKAKTUS boxes, but you'd have to drill a hole on the top first
No, most of them are not. Just to be clear: - Polygynous: more than 1 queen ant per colony - Polymorphic: the worker ants of the species come in all sizes, small up to extra-large. Most Camponotus are indeed polymorhic
No, 4-8 weeks is normal for Lasius. It highly depends on the temperature and whether or not you disturb your Queen too often by looking (this stresses her out and she can't care for the brood the way she should). Just leave her alone for 10 days or so and you will have your first workers 😉
Hello ants V. I have a question: were are you find that many Queens of camponotus Ligniperda ? because i love and want thous ants I live in Czechia can you deliver me 2 queens??? Pls ? I have 5 €

Perfect timing for a video about this species, i just have a ligniperda queen for just over a month now.

Hello there! Thank you for the support, glad you like the channel - will keep making videos for you guys! 👍
making the soil wet will cause the ants to start digging or moving around the sand into the tube, possibly reducing the vision into the tube if they plaster it along the walls of the tube

Thanks! Will do, just working on the new workshop (for more DIY vids) right now 😉
Welcome back
Thanks!
Looks great I wish that species was native to my area
Even though they are native where I live, I only find Queens every 3 years or so...
You have returned, i have returned
Nice for the both of us then ;)
@@AntsVienna 🤭
Nice to here from you again !
Simple setup for the ligniperda 👌
Where did you get the tube insert to reduce the diameter ?

Love the video!!!
Thank you!
Woo hes back!
Get a camponotus nicobarensis colony next
What do you mean? I already have a big Nicobarensis colony😜 13 Vids of them on the channel th-cam.com/video/rkG2mfH_cW0/w-d-xo.html
@@AntsVienna Oh thats cool
Camponotus is based
Camponotus are everywhere!

Perfect! Great to hear that - wish you fun with your new colony😄🐜
What is the acrylic container called, Thanks.
Also great vid!

@@AntsVienna Thanks
can you make video DIY Ytong nest again?
Hello there. Yes, but I need to build my new workshop first, so it will take some time, BUT there will be many new DIY videos on the channel
you came back?
In my mind i was never gone - just had to sort out some things real life
Bro was in a coma
Not me personally, but a relative of mine actually was in kind of one.
@@AntsVienna holy shit
would be trapjaw ants be beginner friendly?
I would recommend Lasius or Camponotus instead
No
@@AntsVienna k
First 🎉
😁🎊
Can you please make ants update🙏❤
Yes, will be making an update of some colonies soon
❤️
I thought you stopped TH-cam
Nope, I just had to take care of some problems real life
Are all camponatous ants polygynes?
No, most of them are not. Just to be clear:
- Polygynous: more than 1 queen ant per colony
- Polymorphic: the worker ants of the species come in all sizes, small up to extra-large. Most Camponotus are indeed polymorhic
My black garden ants haven’t hatched yet😢 I got it 1 month and two weeks ago should o be worried
No, 4-8 weeks is normal for Lasius. It highly depends on the temperature and whether or not you disturb your Queen too often by looking (this stresses her out and she can't care for the brood the way she should). Just leave her alone for 10 days or so and you will have your first workers 😉
@@AntsVienna ok thanks
My first campontous died today 😢my first one
Sorry to hear that Owen! Don't give up on ant keeping though... Sometimes that happens - I've lost some Queens too on my journey
Hello ants V. I have a question: were are you find that many Queens of camponotus Ligniperda ? because i love and want thous ants
I live in Czechia can you deliver me 2 queens??? Pls ?
I have 5 €
Hello there. Even here where I live they are pretty rare... I only find Queens every 3 years or so - near the forest
EARLY.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Hope you like the video nontheless :)
@@AntsVienna its all good.
Did the failed ligniperda die?....
The "old Queen" that had lost her workers did also stop eating and passed away sadly
@@AntsViennathat sucks. Sorry to hear that. That queen was most likely an bad gene queen.
@@AntsViennaOh yeah you should really get trap jaw ants. I would love to see you get those ants.
can i get a free camponotus colony non in my country
You can trade with someone else online i guess
@@AntsVienna I'm broke that's why I'm asking 😭
