    Awesome. I wish there were some Videos like this for some of the Other Types of Trap-Jaw Ants. There is this one type I really like. It has really Long mandibles, with spikes near the end of the mandibles. And the ant is red and small enough to make it's nests in Twigs.

    In Colombia he have a kind of ant like this, but it had wings, I don’t know if it is the same kind, but I hated them because they loved to hang around the shower in my house and they were super agresive, they will pretty much attack immediately and their sting was very painful.

    Whiskers. They have actual whiskers.
    I keep saying that ants are really nothing more than very tiny, very complex cats. Constantly licking and cleaning themselves and everything else in sight. Washing their faces. Going out to hunt, then bringing prey back for the babies. They even live in colonies like cats do. Their breeding females are called 'queens,' just like cats. (Edit: They can also fall from insane heights and not get hurt.)
    There. I said it. Ants are little cats.
    And yes. I'm prepared to die on this hill.
    Call the boys, "Toms" and the larvae 'kits' and then we'll complete the circle. (Do it, science. Do it, do it...)

    I recently found a colony of these nesting at the base of a sago palm in my yard. What should i do with them? I need to prune the palm and im not sure if I should get rid of the ants or try not to disturb them as much as possible. Are they beneficial?

    • @AntLab
      @AntLab  Před 3 lety +2

      They are not a pest species for humans, their colonies don’t grow that big either. I wouldn’t worry about them. If you disturb their nesting site enough, they’ll like move on their own. But they are cool ants to have around! Consider yourself lucky!
