If you want to play a game about ants or termites, play Empires of the Undergrowth. It's primarily an ant game but you can play as termites too, it's really fun!
I must say that this was one of my favorite videos done by Terra Mater. I truly appreciate the time and effort necessary from your videographers to collect this footage and your writers for compiling the narrative needed for this short, ~6 minute video. As a teacher, this is something I want to find the time to share with my students. As a parent of an infant, this is something I want to save so that I can share with my daughter when she's old enough for it to be salient.
Termites use a morse-code alarm system. Once a soldier encounters an attack, they bash their heads agains the ground in a pattern wich gets replicated by nearby soldiers. this way the entire hive quickly knows whats going on. they also build labyrinths to stall attackers. They have also been observed to mass soldiers in large groups before attacking. In the end you can compare an ant army like a giant mass of soldiers with runners spreading the intel-pheromones across the army. it takes time and is often chaotic with many conflicting pheromones each individual ant has to decide on wich pheromone to follow and prioritise. In contrast to that the termite armies are like a military where every soldier has a radio and can make decisions based on quantity of the chatter to determine target priority. Its a little bit like an online pvp game service: servers = active battles. the termite players can hear their teams player counts and threat urgency based on the morse code and can join the servers that need more people. The ants can only see the open servers and have to guess wich one is full or empty until friends come and tell them where the action is. Overall the Termites lack the numbers of the ants, but their coordination is superior. But in the end both sides can only guess on their enemies numbers. So it often happens that entire ant armies run guns blazing into a termite colony 10 times their size with a predictable outcome, as seen in this video.
Hello @algae_wafer, thank you for your comment. At 3:45, we show ants raiding for grubs, meaning they are seeking out larvae of other insects as a food source. Sometimes, ants can raid other insect colonies, including termite mounds, to gather these larvae. This is part of the intense survival dynamics in the insect world where resources are limited and competition is fierce. Ants and termites have been known to have conflicts and rivalries too. We hope this clears up your confusion 😊
Beneath ant hills they can build underground tunnel networks over 6ft deep with specialized rooms and complex foraging tunnels miles across under the soil.
@@gohsk1512 same with termites, but it depends on which species the termites and ands are,and the region they are at. usually ants will do better if u are talking about the wood eater termites,but the fungus growing and stuff,not really,they are alot bigger.
Termites are strong in numbers, strength, and they are great builders. Ants can't defeat the whole army, but they can take the queen and king and doom the termite kingdom.
This termite colony species may be Macrotermes bellicosus aka african termites, known to be the largest currently known termite in the world and that includes its queen and soldiers if i remember correctly there should be minor soldiers and major soldiers you can tell which is which by their jaws and the color of their head. But i didnt know Marauder ants also eat african termites what I've known so far is the Driver ants, Megaponera. A, Crematogaster. S and Paltothyreus. T that's all I've known for now.
This rivalry (ant vs termite) is more ancient than Roman empire infact many more empires.. also this battle can be found in every backyard, also termites are literal engineers in soil, sometimes build too much into our homes..😂😂
' that is a wrong grammar word... bugs / insects are NOT '' who ''... right word is a '' WHICH '' one would be winner... '' who '' is a only person... not animal / not bugs-insects

I just completed the game +1
I have it and it's so underrated
@@sharpy1120 It is a great game and very few know it
Just found the game this morning 👍
@@ERKMain I know the game from the demo, I recommend watching old videos to see how much it has changed

This needs to be longer. It reminds me of an old documentary called "Besieged Fortress"
Cool documentary name!
@@terramater I think's it's still on amazon. It's very good.
Absolutely amazing video as always ❤, this should be getting millions of views!
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching it!
Hahaha the thumbnail 😂
Full action!
@@terramateroh no why'd u change it 😢
@@JJ-ji9xxwhat was it?
Waht was it?
Great video, really fascinating interaction. Insects are amazing little creatures!
They're 100% underestimated!
3:38
This is my favorite clip. It's like the ant is putting the termite in a ear naked choke.
4:05
This one had me giggling. It looks like the termite is barking like a dog at the ant
Truly wild to know! Incredible video🐜👍

Life of a termite colony is basically akin to Medieval/Dark Ages.
Except Older, Authentic and way more Fun to study.
Interesting way to put it!
Insects are impressive! Whatva harsh and hard life they have! Respect!
Insects are totally underestimated!
true that!
Ants and termite were busy waging war with each other until furry beast with long tongue appear and slurped all of them
That poor young ant eater -- and it's mother.
I love these videos, I always learn something new and they're fun to watch.
Hi Steve! That's so nice, it motivates us to keep on doing more videos like this! ❤️
Someone needs to make a game "Ants vs Termites".
Theres a game called empires of the undergrowth, check it out!
if you want a game of it, make it, but if its too hard, listen
new saying: any hard creation made by man, he can remake it easy
Empires of the undergrowth, metebale ant update is coming with termites and driver ants. One of the best single player RTS games
Formicide, but its a long dead game, its not exactly termites vs ants but there is a termite class, the rest being ants.
There is one, "empire of the ants"
Aww I didn’t need to see that poor baby like that.
😢
Superb. Aptly filmed.
Thank you! And thanks for watching it!
Nice bro
I was rewatching Antz for the millionth time and decided to see why ants and termites don't like each other
😂
Incredible!
Did I'm the first viewer commenter❤
Woop woop 🙌
how do you all get the footage inside the nest?
Our camera crew is just amazing 🤩
1% ants and 99% termites
Wooww 🐜❤️
A TH-cam channel with exclusive content and footageواو Nice ide!
The termites got that power #AntandTermiteloveforever
Best one on termites😂.
"when the anteater had eaten the termites,karma sold her fate."
Your videos desrve more view. The quality is excellent
Thank you so much! Let's spread the word about it!
They’re like some kind of Zerg.
Even ants live an adventurous and stud life than 70% of people nowadays.
Come for this video after empires of the undergrowth release v1.0, thats crazy
Who does the voiceover in this one?
Great
🤩
what species was the termites shown in the video?
Visually to me they look like Procornitermes araujoi based on a few images I saw but i have no info on the species besides it's Latin name.
@@ivankovac7844 ty
At 3:45 it says ants stealing grubs?? What grubs? Why are there clips of ants raiding another ant colony?

@@terramater Oh ok thanks.
How the hell they get the camera in the termite mounds?
Good video, but felt very rushed.
Poor baby anteater 😱
😅
I haven't seen ants build a structure like a termite mound before so they got ants beat on architecture.
Beneath ant hills they can build underground tunnel networks over 6ft deep with specialized rooms and complex foraging tunnels miles across under the soil.

We’re just ganna ignore the baby ant eater falling prey to wildfire? Nature sucks.
What part 😮
@@Croissant_dude5:25
Yeah kinda sad…
Wildlife is mostly a man made disaster. Nature is beautiful.
Womp womp (what is wrong with me)
TURN DOWN THE MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS!!!!! cant hear anything you say!
ive never been outside for so long that i forgot anteaters exist💀😭
Call off duty:termite at war
😂😂
Termites are strong in numbers, strength, and they are great builders. Ants can't defeat the whole army, but they can take the queen and king and doom the termite kingdom.
That was seminal! Footages were too good to be true.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching it! 🤩
3:43 Wait...Termites don't have grubs do they? They are hemimetabolism!!
This termite colony species may be Macrotermes bellicosus aka african termites, known to be the largest currently known termite in the world and that includes its queen and soldiers if i remember correctly there should be minor soldiers and major soldiers you can tell which is which by their jaws and the color of their head.

Filmed in South America so not Macrotermes bellicosus..
@clooperman3745 maybe gilvus? They look similar to the african termites i might be wrong though
This rivalry (ant vs termite) is more ancient than Roman empire infact many more empires.. also this battle can be found in every backyard, also termites are literal engineers in soil, sometimes build too much into our homes..😂😂
So 😢 for ant eater
😂😂😂😂
Yeh shi tha bro 😂
I have a question what spices of termites is that 😅
Red chilli
@@Aniggaayaynayniga lmao
Gteat video!
Thank you!
The baby ant eaters life was taken by wild fire:
•The Cameraman 🙂🎥
better than season 8 got
🤣🤣🤣
How can you mention termite vs ant battles and not mention the giant glue gun on the termite's forehead?
there r times when just a few termite soldiers crowd a small entrance and hold off entire armies of ants.
They’re incredible!
Termites considered as small cocroachs
Why are anteaters called anteaters if they eat termites????
Ant eaters touché is like a worm
I like watch video you
that's great to hear! Thanks for being part of our community 🥰
My God
Termites aren’t blind. Their eyes are just really tiny ☝️
why did you change the thumbnail lol
To try something new :D
@@terramater I see, but I like the first one bc it's funny. great video! I always love your videos!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Million years of war 😄
This is like horus heresy
I love how the ants steal the termites eggs of their babies.
Thank god I'm not a Cupim, I wouldn't be able to deal with Tamanduás or Formigas...
Yeah, we it's a tough life!
Reminds me of “Antz”
A classic!
The cameraman has xrex now 💀
QUEEN of the hill if you will
Game of Thrones in 6 minutes
😂😂😂
The video was great...i just wish the outcome wasnt a babys death 😢
This was too intense for me to watch. Nature videos should be slow and relax imo eventhough nature can be brutal.
Nature can be brutal indeed!
3:13
Red ants?
Ant will win.
As ants are retreating, i heard the whistle sound which is the retreat sound from WW2
