Ants are so cool!! Have you ever had issues with them escaping into your house? I’d be so paranoid letting them have access to a container without a lid.
Found you from Ants Canada and going to follow you on all your platforms! Keep up the great work and get serious about building your platform and brand! I love to see people succeed! You are doing so great already man! 💓💗❤️
I normally don't like ants because they came into my room for like 6 months straight but when I watch you videos it makes me think that ants aren't all that bad
Awesome video I am a huge fan of ants I have been for years. I enjoyed this video because you actually showed and explained what happened once the little pieces of the leaves got into the nest. I have watched a million videos and never came across this little but huge detail being explained. 🌿 Leaf cutter ants are one of my favorites. I just came across you the other day I subscribed and I really enjoy your videos. Also wanted to ask why don't you use powder as a barrier? Why do you prefer not to? Just curious... Keep up the great work!
There used to be a huge Texas Leafcutter colony in a local park. Someone decided to poison them (I think) and they went from a dominant colony to a small, weak colony, but they survived. They were poisoned in the fall and now good leaves are scarce since it’s winter. Despite the lack of good foliage, they’ve survived off of acorns that are extremely plentiful around the nest. I haven’t seen leafcutters harvest anything but leaves before this, so seeing them adapt in real time is quite amazing.
Cool video, I came over from Boylei Hobby Time. I would say please can you make a playlist for your normal videos and then a playlist for your shorts? It would make it easier to enjoy
Is there anywhere I can get a leafcutter queen for a more affordable price? I have been watching and learning about these ants for months now, and I feel ready to start a colony, but I cant spend three hundred bucks on an ant. (also, you mentioned "both of the queens"...Does that mean leafcutters can be polygynus?)
What kind of repellent do you use, or slippery thing do you use to keep the ants from climbing up? Alcohol and powder? or do you think the less natural way is better that you can just buy?
@@LightsCameraAnts Thanks a lot! I think a lot of people like me want just to explore more about the ants and how they behave in raw videos. You can also open a patreon and whoever subscribes you name an ant/colony after their name or something like that. There are a lot of ways to scale up your channel. Good luck! I love your channel.
This is fascinating! We live in a somewhat rural area and have a MASSIVE population of leaf cutters. If you ever want to do a special where you investigate what this looks like when it's at least 1000 times the population, we've got some! 🤣
Yeah it’s gotten much bigger since when I first got them! A lot of the workers are hiding within the fungus so there’s always more that you would think at first.
Where can we find the colony setup we really dont get it in our surrounding shops can you give us a link to buy on Amazon and a video of how to setup it for first time with bigginer tips (really needed bro)
I want to keep leaf cutters in the future, but I am afraid a bit of the massiv size they can grow... do you have any suggestions how to keep them smaller? I mean 8million workers need a big sized room and like a full garbage-sack of fresh leafs every day... :_D
I have a really really like really important question that I think I'm the only person on earth seeing this- why do carpenter ants (specifically carpenter ants) have little white balls coming out of their mouth, it could be tiny balls or fluffy white stuff coming through their mouths!? When I looked at the carpenter ant laying on its back in my candle I saw some white nasty little worms or balls on the side of its head, then I looked again later on and saw that it had this white stuff coming through its mouth and a little piece stuck to its head. why am I only seeing this I have a history of really clear visual hallucinations but I think this is real!! 🙁
You have so many colonies, and a large following, you could start an ant selling website, and don’t worry about be punished for any laws broken, why you may ask, it is the fact no one cares about that law.
please do not say it is very illegal to sell ants from other countries because they could destroy ecosystems if they ever get big and you decide to let the future queens and male ants in the wild
@@randy-x for general ant keeping, as of now I’d recommend High Tech Ants, byFormica, Tar Heel Ants, Aus Ants, and there are probably some more good ones but those are the ones I’ve either kept ants in or heard are really good

Very cool!
I like these kinds of longer videos much more entertaining to watch than the shorts. I still enjoy all content you make. Keep it up!
Thanks Oliver! My plan is to dedicate this youtube channel to longer videos! I plan on making more, hoping you all like them and watch them.❤️

Thank you for the info I love ants and didnt know that leaf cutters ants mandibles actually dull neat
You got your clip in daily dose of internet! Congrats, never thought you would be shouted out from a TH-camr like him!
You should do an ant tour on all of your ants
We love Ants they are our cousins we as Xenomorphs share same as Lifecycle as them and protect our Hive at any cost!
Godzilla had a stroke reading this and fucking died
Cute little minims doing their little leafy fungus jobs
This is why leaf cutter ants are my favorite species of ants I wanna raise one when I am older :)
SO INSPIRING DUDE! I've never thought ants were so cool
i bet that fungus spike would be a sick decoration if it could be preserved
I don’t know why I feel good watching these ants 😂
My boy and I like watching your videos
Wow!! The fungus garden is so big!! Is this Bertha's colony or is it Tick and Tack's colony?
This is Tick and Tack’s colony. They are always hidden now lol
Sup I know you
@@LightsCameraAnts Ohh
@@Ant392 ayyyy sup
@@SGTransportEnthusiast11 hehe
Thought the thumbnail said "HUAE QUEEN"
How do you manage the humidity in the Fundus garden?
I water the plaster at the bottom of the nest and that plaster retains moisture and humidity
Amazing set up!
Yoooooo! You got on Daily Dose of Internet today! Congratulations!
Ik! Thanks! ❤️
Ik he is a bad ant keeper he is new and he always touches the queen and shine lights to the ant colony

Do they eat a specific type of leaves or can you give them any leaves?
He said in the F-ING VIDEO they use LEAVES to grow FUNGUS and eat THAT you DOOR KNOB
Cool comment
That’s big jaws. “Queen”
today i say a black ant queen that STILL HAD WINGS?!?!?! i saw it during boy scout camp, it was awsome
One of my favorite queen ants
can you show us a longer in the area videos please about ants
What kind of repellent do you use, or slippery thing do you use to keep the ants from climbing up? Alcohol and powder? or do you think the less natural way is better that you can just buy?
2:33 So the leaves are... fungible?
The ant queen is like the xenomorph queen
She doesnt
I subbed plus how do you not get discusted when they walk on you?
I love leaf cutters. I wish it was easier to get one in Flordia lol. Carpenters run the roost here
FULL VIDEOS PLEASE!!
Can you please do longer version videos? 10 minutes and more. 3 minutes isnt enough
Yeah I’m trying to figure it out. I want to make long videos but at the same time I don’t want to drag out the story longer than it needs to be
@@LightsCameraAnts Thanks a lot!

wait... they even compost? am I understanding that right?
Love from MCGI💕
I love your leaf cutter ants
Definitely should make longer videos love learning about ants

Hello I’m a new follower
Bro the leaf cutter ant queen is a titan
i just want a queen ant so badly
Oh and im new to your videos❤
I love ants they are my 6 favorite animals ants snd there are anout 1000 different types of ants❤
my question is, is the fungus okay to touch because I love ants but fungus is my phobia
Their fungus home is beautiful to me
These ants look cool
Have you ever run out of food? If not how do you get food
THEY HAVE RECOVERED !!!!!
This makes me want to see what the 'fruit' produced by the fungus garden looks like...
I wish I had a ant for a pet
Same😊
Can you make a ant war using invasive ants if you don't want its ok
There fungus garden is
MASSIVE!!!
Yeah it’s gotten much bigger since when I first got them! A lot of the workers are hiding within the fungus so there’s always more that you would think at first.

@@flovd77 ok
You said queens, does this colony have multiple? Is that usual for leaf cutters?
I’m looking to get my own Atta cephalotes that I saw from your tiktik but I’m worried about the care and step up, have u got any tips
I want to keep some ants.
How do you take care of leaf cutter ants Beacause if I get some I don't want them to fall of that stick connecting them to there leafs and there nest
Do you know if you're allowed to keep leaf cutter ants in Canada??
Hey love the vids but maybe upload some more vidoes not alot more shorts
I have a question one day I would like to start my own leafcutter ant colony but can you use basically from outside
Question is the colony they live in the entire fungus and if so how do they start a new nest?
I wish I could have ants but my mom is allergic to them so I can't risk them getting out
I can't help but wonder how do you keep your hands from escaping a setup like that?
Where is he? I mean, no rush, just wanna make sure he’s okay. Hasn’t posted anything in a while 😕😕😕
Pls try taking care of antlion
Are leaf cutter ants easy to keep?
Yes, they are. Just need a good setup and they will do just fine.
@@LightsCameraAnts Thanks!
I wanna try these hobby how do i get the queen to lay eggs?
Do you have to refill the container with leaves everyday?
Where can we find the colony setup we really dont get it in our surrounding shops can you give us a link to buy on Amazon and a video of how to setup it for first time with bigginer tips (really needed bro)
For leaf cutter ants or other ant species?
Any for beginners
@@LightsCameraAnts any kind for beginners
Where do you buy your ants?
Yea I'm be so paranoid to
I want to be an ant now!😢
Is there a king and queen in the ant colony and what are the ants with wings called?
no but the ants with wing are called alates
How come there is two queen ants in the leafcutter colony rather than there just bieng one?
How did you make your set up?
I want to keep leaf cutters in the future, but I am afraid a bit of the massiv size they can grow... do you have any suggestions how to keep them smaller?
I mean 8million workers need a big sized room and like a full garbage-sack of fresh leafs every day... :_D
Ah yes. So you can keep them small. Just limit their space and food. You can also fill off workers to get rid of some swarms
@@LightsCameraAnts Ah ok. Thanks for the answer. I keep this in mind, if I buy a colony in the future. :)
@@LightsCameraAnts Seems you forgot to leave a heart on the Queen's comment 😐 though i gave you two subs
How do you get soldier ants?
I NEED HELP IM TRYING TO GET A NT COLONY OUT OF THE TEST TUBE BUT THEY TOOK 21 HOURS AND THEY ARE STILL IN THE TUBE
I have a really really like really important question that I think I'm the only person on earth seeing this-
why do carpenter ants (specifically carpenter ants) have little white balls coming out of their mouth, it could be tiny balls or fluffy white stuff coming through their mouths!? When I looked at the carpenter ant laying on its back in my candle I saw some white nasty little worms or balls on the side of its head, then I looked again later on and saw that it had this white stuff coming through its mouth and a little piece stuck to its head.
why am I only seeing this I have a history of really clear visual hallucinations but I think this is real!! 🙁
have you ever killed an ant and why?
did you killed it by accident?
You have so many colonies, and a large following, you could start an ant selling website, and don’t worry about be punished for any laws broken, why you may ask, it is the fact no one cares about that law.
please do not say it is very illegal to sell ants from other countries because they could destroy ecosystems if they ever get big and you decide to let the future queens and male ants in the wild
*i thought weaver queens was the largest*
Can u create a ant war??
Are you able to buy these ants or are they more of a exotic variety
If you are in texas, there is a species of leafcutters. So if you live i texas i guess u could try to find one online/outside
ants are the best i love ant i go to resses and i pertet ant
More videos less tik toks!!!
Thanks the idea. Hopefully I can take time out of my day to make more longer videos for TH-cam. Hopefully you all enjoy them too!
The house at the end looks like a castle reaching to the sky. Dipe
Yeah it’s super cool how they structure their fungus garden
Where do you buy your equipment? I think you said it in another video, but I can't find it. 😅
You can buy rose petals, plaster of paris, tubing, and clear containers all online
@@LightsCameraAnts which stores would you recommend(for ant keeping supplies)?
@@randy-x for general ant keeping, as of now I’d recommend High Tech Ants, byFormica, Tar Heel Ants, Aus Ants, and there are probably some more good ones but those are the ones I’ve either kept ants in or heard are really good
@@LightsCameraAnts thanks!
Yo where did you get this ants?
Are Ants Basically Small Humans
WHERE ARE YOU GETING THEM😭
