Maggots Exploding From a Queen Ant's Body | GROSS FOOTAGE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2021
- Endoparasitic maggots exploding from a queen ant's body is one of the worst fates any queen ant could suffer through. One of the queen ants from my collection is showing signs of such maggot endoparasitism and I asked for your help to decide on what to do with the queen. This has to be one of the grossest yet informative episodes I've ever filmed on the channel. Enjoy! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Not very exciting to be the queen ant
Hello antscanada im a huge fan
Why didn't you put her out of her misery
@@osmosisjones4912 the ant is euthanized by him
This reminds me when you filmed the fire nation eating a monitor lizard for some reason
Imagine getting trapped inside of another species, so you ate their insides to survive and get out, only to find out that you're stuck inside a plastic tube
lul deserved ngl
And realize they are inside a freezer, about to go either pole. Probably the best way to end a parasitic asshole's life.
Either way it's Disgusting
@@Nerium_Oleander13 i mean yeah
😂😂
The routine of an ant-decapitating fly:
1. Wake up
2. Choose violence
"Peace was never an option."
Yeah sadly 😓🤫🤭
victory or death
It worked for The Doomslayer.
The fly literally said RIP AND TEAR here lol
This is why I'm very thankful I was born as a human with an extremely complex immune system that can counteract parasites.
True bro
our immune system doesn't really stop parasites, if you eat them you'll have them, but we do have medicine for that unlike the ants 😂
I feel blessed to be a human too
Tape worms:
@@thelunchking4069 and many others
I think you should’ve dissected it to confirm if it did have parasites
But wouldn’t that kill the queen as well, it would’ve been an even more painful death.
@@luisbustos9592 I’m saying after the fact I would want to know what was inside since the queen was already dead
Me: maggots are literally the only thing that disgust me to the point of revulsion
Brain: watch it
Me trying to understand why am I actually watching this right now😩🧎🏽♂️
@@vanillashake3544 same 😭😭😭
Has a phobia and of maggots
Brain: CLICK IT
same
For me it's maggots and anything that triggers my trypophobia
One of my first ant queens suffered from this fate. I brought it downstairs during a family dinner and announced it to the entire room. Dinner was great.
🤮🤮🤮
But that's a sad fate
some men just want to see the world burn
Oh no
Hey let it die so painful ly why not just kill it ?
I know many people will say it’s just an ant, they’re pests, they don’t have complex feelings, and so on an so forth. But I can’t help feeling an intense sadness and extremely sorry for the poor queen ant. Life as an insect sure isn’t a walk in the park, even when you’re the queen.
I never knew there was so much to learn about ants before watching some of your videos. Though I wouldn't yet consider myself a true ant lover, I am certainly more content examining them than exterminating them. Truly fascinating creatures that humans have more in common with than I would have ever imagined.
You can learn more about stuff like ants on TH-cam in a week than the average college could teach you in a whole year. YT is actually a great start for learning if that’s your goal
Title and thumbnail: *has maggots*
Me: "don't click"
Brain: "click it"
Oml seriously.
LOL same I do not know whats wrong with my brain lol
Lol
I’m like hm seems interesting ill watch it
Same lol
Saw the title and decided there was no way I was going to be watching this with my usual bowl of breakfast XD
Omg Same Lol !!!
Funny, I saw it as I sat down to eat mine. I watched it.
Better than noodles tbh
This comment is nothing but facts, same happened with me
*Bow*
Same avoided it until my food digested
sorry for your loss. You were a great caregiver for the ants. RIP queen ant.
I love how you explain the beautiful perspective of the circle of life
I usually don't get grossed out, but this episode did it.
Same I was disgusted when I saw the maggots-
Me too. Ugh......
Same
Same
look i have seen gross stuff but this one is a big yikes from me
I love how the warning comes at 2:25 when there's already been so many images of maggots and the dead queen
Right
Better be late than never ;)
that title is warning enough, BLEUGH
@@Chicanery_Artifice yep, if people complains then they don't have common sense.
@@Chicanery_Artifice And thumbnail.
Bro really just used like 5 slides of footage to explain it 💀🙏
Imagine escaping a cage with all of your homies just to realize that you all ended up in a bigger cage.
This reminded me of attack on Titan lol

And if they escape that cage there still in another cage the house

at 9:19, it seems she knew her fate by curling herself up as soon as AC said goodbye
I know!!! 😭😭😭
I went back to that time and now im sad🥲
i think she felt the cold of the freezer seeping out before being placed in there. honestly if i was in the queens position i'd say end me quickly too.
So sad ac family
:(
“I hope you are all not eating right now”
**Food cooking ad plays**
I can’t believe I’m watching this even though I just had a nightmare about maggots
I enjoyed my bowl of clam chowder. Eating while watching horse things doesn’t bother me. What did bother me is I’m heavily pregnant and days away from having this baby and as the maggots started emerging, this little one decided it was the perfect time to start exercising inside me. Feeling something move inside you while watching maggots move inside a dead ant is not pleasant.
Oh my, hope I never have to feel that
Did you have the baby, if so congratulations, if not, congratulations
@@strawberryelizabeth4294 "if not, congratulations"

Maggot: I'm finally out!
Also maggot: man I'm stuck in a plastic tube
I love watching you with all your different ant spices and to be able to watch mother nature at her wonderful but sometimes gross but interesting nature that always fascinated me I can't wait to see more of your videos

Parasites are one of those things that are ungodly repulsive but incredibly fascinating
They’re not repulsive.
Amd very necessary tbh lol
@@sabir1208 how are they necessary lol. As in, wouldn't it be better if there were no parasites and just predators for population control?
Well I mean if I physically look at a piece of disgusting or dirty substance I may just vomit instantly but a MAGGOT that is TOO FAR I may have slightly trained my gag reflex to not be so sensitive BUT I CANT DO THAT
@@accelerationquanta5816 Yeah they are.
maggots: little annoying harmless creatures
also maggots:
The maggots: EAT MEN! EAT! WERE FREEEEE oh we’re in a clear tube
I’m genuinely upset for that queen… thought she was starting her colony. Had to go to sleep in the cold… 😢
It's weird isn't it???!? This man is very skilled at grabbing our attention and coaxing out our respect and caring for an insect which most normally just mindlessly stomp on without a second thought!! When the humongous fire ant colony died out, it really upset me!!! Which gave me very conflicting thoughts, when I was almost 5, I fell into a pit in the sand which happened to be a fire ant colony, an ENORMOUS ONE TOO!!!!! If my mom wasn't right there and able to react the way she did by pulling me out and quickly running to wash them off, I would have easily been killed by hundreds of thousands of these little gals!!!!
@@jeffffro7674 For real! AC is really charismatic in his narration skills and he's just so knowledgeable. Plus his voice is so pleasant
I'm usually not fond of insects, arachnids and arthropods at all but when I watch his videos, I feel empathic with these creatures
@@jeffffro7674 you probably wouldn't have died unless your allergic to them I mean I would assume you enough common sense when you were 5 to get out of the ant pile you fell on
@@oscarjrvelasquez8520 there must of been alot of them
@@oscarjrvelasquez8520 that was the problem, it was in sand, I got too curious and too close, the sand gave way and I went about 4 to 5 feet down!!! A tiny ant can come and go as they please, I was too heavy to climb out without just pulling sand down in. I couldn't even do that cause I looked like a guy with a bee beard, except covering my entire body! I'm pretty sure that a couple million stings and bites would have done the job to off me!
This information is pretty accurate, except that the phorids lay their eggs INTO the body of the ant, not ON the exoskeleton. The females of the flies have sharp, piercing egg-layers that can pierce the membrane between the hard sclerites of the ant. The species of fly is called Trucidophora camponoti.
The ant was kept in captivity,how a flies can enter???
@@lova368 The fly got in while the queen was mating, when she was still in the wild.
The word you're looking for is "ovipositor".
Good info though. Thanks for sharing!
@@SeekerGoldstone generally we call the entirety of segments 7-10 the ovipositor. I was referring to the stylet or aculeus, which is the consolidated segments 8-10. See the Manual of Nearctic Diptera for terms.
@@brianbrown3150 Lol I dont know enough about entomology to speak on that but I do know enough about etymology to know that they arent called egg-layers :p
Lol what? Dieing by freezing is still slow and excruciating. You legit didn't do her any favors 😂
i was eating chex mix but at 2:44 in the video i decided to see the comments and saw DO NOT WATCH WHILE EATING
Question: How to prevent them, and what to do if it already is inside?
Also: is it weird I didn't feel gross'ed out in this video?
Nope! Maybe u could brcome an entomologist becuase they rnt scared of maggots. But u dont have to! :)
Maggots just give me the creeps if you know what I mean. That is such a gruesome way to die. Rest in peace poor queen ant.
Like one maggot is kinda ok but a lot of them squirming makes my skin crawl 😖
@@SirFox_CODM yeah like when you have to dump the compost bag/box in the the green bin outside and there’s maggots inside
They're very important to the environment though!! They're very efficient at breaking down tissues that no other creatures can safely consume. Disgusting, yes, but very important!
Y'know i saw hundreds of maggods in my classmates apartment gate i was so disgusted so i ran away with my bike😩😩😩

Oh it could get worse!
Honestly
One tip: if you saw a maggot infection on a Queen Ant, you can use those maggots for Fish Food. They are supplementary foods for fishes.
But maggots are small. How will you pick them up and place them on a dangerous sharp hook?
Nah, you misunderstand. Fish *food. * Not fish _bait_ just toss the maggots into the captive fish pond as supplementary food.
Yeah feed it to the bettas
