Josh collected these ants, in part, thanks to the Whitten Fellowship from UIUC’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies
Stay tuned for a summary of Josh's paper on the mechanics of the Gigantiops jump!

Reminds me of how jumping spiders evolved big eyes and brains to allow them to jump better, which in turn led to their temperaments becoming sweeter and more curious. It's fascinating.
Some jumping spiders bite and leave a stinging sensation. They are cute and fun to watch but accidently squeezing one is slightly painful.
squeezing anything will result in a bite so that is fine
She's beauty
She's grace
She'll gently jump into your face
Recently I am a proud owner of a young Gigantiops destructor colony. Started with a few workers but now they are developing like crazy! My favorite ant species I have in my collection, they really stole my heart!
The footage you get of these guys is incredible. Love it!
The sequential learning stuff is amazing, as everything about Gigantiops ! Wow ! Beautiful footage !
Gigantiops is easily one of the most interesting species in my opinion. Had no idea they jumped!
I only know of the Jack Jumpers from Australia. So to find out that there are a lot more types of ants that jump. Including a Trap Jaw ant. That's really cool to find out. :)
My favorite ant species is Camponotus schmitzi.
The ant yeeter
Holy moly. That learning behaviour is super cool. I love channels like these becuase they allow easy insight into how science is deducted while also begin made for a wide audiance and availiable for them at the same time.
Firstly her jumping on his finger is so cute like a child that puts its arms out when they jump to their parent.
Secondly I have the Australian jumping jacks come in my bedroom each night and climb on my walls. I discovered they jump when it landed on my head. I still put up with them as they dont bite and are not annoying and disappear by morning.
I honestly just wanna pet it. It’s so adorable
Aw, look at that face, they're so cute! Dang it, why are bugs so cute? I'm going to wear my animators out from asking them to animate just about every bug in existence.^-^
I’ve never thought I would find an ant cute.
+1
Wow! I love these ants ❤️ Really enjoy your channel and the wonderful photography/education.
i just discovered your channel and its amazing! i love to watch the goofiness of the ants, keep up the good work!
That visual learning might be the thing on this channel which has amazed me the most
Amazing macro-footage of the ants! I watched this twice because it was so enjoyable to watch these animals move from up close :)
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I find them so addictive and fascinating. Each one is extraordinary in the way it has limbs and wings adapted for a life in aspects of a particular habitat.
That's just adorable.. you need some jumping spider footage
Kinda cute when it jumps
best video about gigantiops destructor that I've seen, everything's is perfect
Awesome footage. Amazing beauties. Around since 140-160 million years.
Excellent video, but the first 20 seconds are BOMB.
I now need to see cool music videos for all your favorite species.
i had never heard of them until now, but what cool ants! those eyes are huge. almost wasp-like.
ant's like, "im gonna SEND IIIIIIT"
This is just amazing! Thanks for the cool videos!
He's a nice ambassador for ants.... others swarm, bite, sting and maim....this guy hops onto your finger and chills out.
Who named these things? Such a badass name for such a tame little bugfriend.
Ant: hmmmm i can jump *jump*
I’ve recently noticed camponotus ants in Indiana jumping, freaked me out, I’ll try to get a video of it.
Totally fascinating, what a beautiful ant!
Perhaps I wasn’t seeing things. When I was in the Amazon, watching some ants, I swore i saw one jump. I was told that while that would be amazing, it was unlikely. Now I’m thinking that perhaps I did. I want to believe I saw one of these little guys.
Wooww amazing! Love the video and the footages!! 🐜💚
Watching this Video, lissening to the music. and Watching the ants. Made me feel like playing "FTL: Faster Then Light" again. :)
It's a Pixal art game and one of the Races is a Bug race call Mantis. Thanks for the Nostalgia. :)
Another FANTASTIC video!!
fANTastic .... 😏
Such happy accompanying music
Gorgeous ant. Almost makes me think of a wingless wasp-like critter.
Stunning!!
where are the results josh!!!!!!!!!!!!! im losing my mind i need to see more of these ants!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Ants: Goosebumps Season 3: Episode 15
Watching that ant read the signs and make it back to base was freaking insane bro. Could we build something as complex as an ant that small? Heck no. God is the MASTER of design.
Very interesting video! Thank )
New favourite ant unlocked 😊
Incredible video!
Regarding the experiment's design, I just think the markers should have been relocated to a "clean" maze each time to eliminate the chance of pheromone navigation
great video !
Ahhhh I love them!
Life on Earth is just beautiful.
Amazing vidéo ! Thanks :)
Excellent!
Rarely is nerdiness so cool.
harpegnatos sp. from SE Asia and myrmecia sp. from Australia are able to jump too. Would be interesting to study if they jump using same mechanics.
Hey buddy, since you also live in NC, I was wondering if you've ever done a study on the "Cow Ant" the big red and black ants that can take down anything in its path. I've seen a wasp or something that looked just like it but with wings and it looked like it was hunting it, so I saved it by moving it away. I didn't know what to do but he looked like he was scrambling to get away from what was chasing it. But they looked identical but one had wings. They're the biggest ant I've ever seen, like an inch long. I'd love to see what you know about them. They're some bad boys.
I know this comment was 9 months ago, but this sounds like velvet ant, which is actually a kind of wasp. The males have wings and can fly, while the females are wingless.
I really appreciate the videos about ants. Will you be making a video about the uncle's? The two are relative you know?
Great video
So cool!
So cool. Cutest ant ever
Strangely... I would like to have one as a pet and cuddle it.
This is so cool
My mind is blown :O this is my new favorite ant species
Would Grass hoppers and Jumping spiders out jump them? And would their eye sight be of high quality?
Really cool 😎
You can’t convince me that the scientist who first named this good boy didn’t intend for it to be called “gig-ANT-iops”
Looks like a Kamen RIder
I like this species now
is this just average ant or do only special ants jump around
What kind of camera are you using? It's really amazing!
Besides being able to film at the desired frame-rate, the camera doesn’t really matter (it’s a phantom miro). It’s all in the lensing and the light.
Can't wait to see Paul Rudd ride on one!
Beautiful 😍😍
why is it so cute and why do i want to pet it
Get some jack jumpers Myrmecia pilosula
They also sting
Very interesting! Can you please show how you take care of your colonies?
A fan from Denmark.
Thanks! I don’t actually keep these ants in colony. Josh just brought some works by the lab to film for a day.
@@AntLab I meant even the trapjaw and everything else you are taking care of!
There is an ant here in Australia, "Myrmecia pilosula", who we call Jumping Jacks, or Jumper Ants, which move with a jumping action. They don't bite, but hold with their jaws and then sting with their tails, like a wasp. People can have severe, even deadly, anaphylaxis. Another deadly Australian animal!
What a fantastic video! Instant sub from me :)
Thanks! Happy to hear you liked it.
I keep these ants there amazing
Wait, these ants can read road signs!? Thats crazy!
So this is what i would be if i were an ant, an Antrovert cus I'm always alone 😔
If ever ants get to colonise the moon, this must be the 1st species! ❤
I have found these type of ants in my house 20 years back. I am from Hyderabad, India
wow
look at her go
Do you see queens of this species?
I WANT A NESTTTTTTTT
Whats the intro song called?
They're the Cats of the ant world
The most awesome Latin name ever.
Why are these people looking like they are in 90s films
What nerds! Lmao but foreal just watched like 5 of these videos. They’re pretty cool. Keep it up dude.
Meanwhile, home cockroaches they don't jump but they fly to your face 😬
parkour parkour
Pet ants
This was like nerd overload.
no one have the ability to make something so amazing in such a small scale except the one and only GOD.
and that's not the only thing .....
Josh... You need to speak a but slower. I didn't understand half of what you said.
