I like how all of the sudden everyone in the comments have studied ants to prove their point
i already know a lot about ants and other bugs and animals
Its not that we just all of the suden know abt ants most of us have studied about ants before this video
Tbf, ants are everywhere. I already knew most ants are omnivorous because I keep finding them in my kitchen.
A lot of followers of antscanada, kurzgesagt or tierzoo.
The only reason i clicked on this video is because im so interested in ants and I've learned a lot about them
You missed the opportunity to call the world “my kitchen floor” because that’s where they always seem to end up

you actually don't need to give your creature arms for tribal stage - they will hold tools in their mouths (which makes cutscenes hilarious)
I think they also just kinda levitate if you have one of the cell stage mouths
@@notsusanna7485i think it works with the carnivore mouth

@@_kitaes_ it works with both
Most, maybe even all ants, are actually omnivorous! It's why they get into your home and invade. They want to eat all the food in it. Ants usually love sweet food. Most hymenopterans in general seem to be omnivorous.
But they are my tuna 😢
most insects like sweet foods, like bees, which are probably the most important insect, like sweet foods.
@@Greatduck777 this is true in a way you wouldn’t expect. Insects actually sense how healthy plants are and eat fermenting/dying plants because they are easier to digest. Very much like a carnivore, they eat what is most easily digestible. The evidence supporting this is that carnivores eat the stomach first because the food there has already begun to be broken down. Some animals like a cow don’t require the need for easily digestible food because of how many stomachs they have and the gut bacteria that is able to break down the complex grasses.
TL:DR insects don’t eat healthy plants because they are too difficult to digest.
@@Creator_Veeto_PAEACP even with how much I like insects, I had no idea about this, thanks for sharing this interesting knowledge.
Don't they grow a mushroom and eat that?
Or is that just a few species?
If you change the graphics settings as a baby is hatching during tribal stage, you’ll get another free baby. Best way to fill up your tribe quickly for the cost of one baby.
this comment sounds insane outside of video games
me: *takes off glasses*
baby: *duplicates*
me: wow it worked
Sheesh, literal reality glitches in game make twins
@@danielthecake8617Hahah this is especially funny cause i was joking last night with some dudes in d2 how putting on glasses makes the game HD from 480 if I'm sitting away from the screen.😂
Two for the price of one
Genuinely surprised they have not made a new spore. I still play this on occasion, and remember buying it when it first came out on disc a decade or so ago. Great game, very fun.
It was considered a massive disappointment when it was made, but if you were oblivious to the hype (as I was as a kid) it was a wonderful game.
@@rachelmayes3064 I was oblivious, I bought it when it first came out, only because I happened across it. Had not heard about it previously, and went into it with 0 expectations.
I bought it on sale for 4 bucks like a year ago because of all these CZcamsrs covering it.
Dark spore exists. But to be honest if you knew anything about the guy behind spore it's not surprising.
Last I knew of I think they are currently making a second one
Could have called the first one Antcestor.
Are you a dad by any chance?
@@samurod4335Luckily no.^^
I think they might be an aunt.
I'm partial to "AmoebAnt"
Antcestor, I like that!
Maybe Larva...? Or DecadAnt...RevanAnt?
There's also many words with "Ant" somewhere in them, like Antediluvian...
Could always call it Uncle...
actually in their younger stages they (ants) are partially transparent and the cell stage could be considered the young stage
Larval or or pupal stage?
Pupal stage think
I'm so glad to see spore content recommended to me, thank you for allowing me to relive nostalgia.
Anytime padre

Same tho
Same
4:37 you were right the first time. The abdomen is the back segment of insects, the thorax is is in thr middle, and then there's the head. The abdomen only appears to be in "the middle" of humans because we stand upright, but since insects (and everybody else) stand horizontally, theirs is at the back.
I thought he was right before i looked it up soo close 😧 at least he got the names right
I just associated "thorax" with "trunk/torso" to really solidify the same basic body part when I was younger. Both start with "T," and you wear a "t-shirt" on your thorax/trunk/torso, lol. Also, humans' torsos are shaped like a "T."
It seems like you got bigger during the creature stage even though you never wanted to, very interesting that a bigger brain forces a bigger body lol
In some ways it makes sense, except in real life you could just make your SKULL bigger and not everything else haha, unless you are growing a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger brain. If a mouse wanted a brain as big as a human they'd have to get quite a lot bigger to accommodate it. But then if you just want your brain to get a bit bigger then you just end up with a balloon head like humans have.

@@catpoke9557Why do you full cap every other word?
@@czpiaor I don't
@@czpiaoryeah that wasn’t every other word, a lot of fully capped tho
One of my favorite strategies for the creature stage is to ally with rogue creatures and make them pack members. With their 250 hp, they are excellent frontline fighters. And they're usually decked out with all the finest social "gear." Because they travel alone, it is much easier to befriend them and then add them to your pack.
But my favorite part is that you can take them with you to the tribal stage. If they're still alive and still pack members, they will appear in the little corral/paddock as domesticated animals! I like to send off the tribe members to hunt and/or gather and have the chief gather eggs from the paddock. The best part is that when you are attacked, by other tribes or possibly wild animals, the domesticated rogue creatures will help you defend you land. They also retain their 250 health.
In fact, for those of you who might not be aware yet, ANY pack members that weren't your species that were still alive when you evolved will be in the paddock as domesticated animals. You can gather eggs from them as well. If they aren't rogues, their health won't be even close to those tank powerhouses.
Fun fact fire ants are not poisonous but instead have stingers
Most ants aren't poisonous, they're usually fully edible except for the stinger
fire ants do have toxins injected by the stinger though. a toxic alkaloid venom called solenopsin.
@user-ug2gf7yy2t he's still technically correct, but i think it's by accident lmao. They're venomous, not poisonous.
Yeah ants usually aren't poisonous
If you eat it and die it's poisonous if it bites you and you die it's venomous,somehow very confusing
They’re also omnivore ants
And they also eat anything they see
Yeah but the pincers look cool
Fun fact- Queen ants actually have the wings. They get the wings fly and mate then they shed their wings and go burrow deep somewhere they feel safe and then have their babies/army and you'll never see them again unless you dig them up.
Both queens and males,only workers don't because they don't need to,why waste energy on something you don't need
@@avasuikatodoroki7061 Both of these are false. The drones on their own don't have wings. Those are elates. The queens lose their wings when they go from elate to queen, and the male elates die after breeding.
@@fullmoonshadow6967 i got that from Google,but thanks for the info
The queens also digest and repurpose their flight muscles to make more bbys!
I love how odd and special insects are. They're so interesting and even when in the same species they can vary so wildly. Thank you to all you guys sharing knowledge about our little friends. (Even if some people aren't up to date on/ don't know how the little guys work.)
I believe antlions are lacewing larva? Something like that. Bassically they start life with max stats (as antlions) and lose everything to be able to fly and mate... then die.
Antlions are Antlions, they’re their own thing.
@@madeofmeats No, the comment got it right. Antlions eventually grow up to be lacewings, even if they don't have a very long life expectancy.
@@fuabtreter7302 no, they belong to the same order of Neuroptera, or what’s known as “net winged insects”, but what’s commonly known as a lacewing insect and an antlion are two separate families. Lacewings are part of the family Chrysopidae and Antlions are Myrmeleontidae. I study insects for my degree, please google this stuff before you’re confidently wrong.
@@fuabtreter7302 no actually, lacewings and Antlions belong to the same order of Neuroptera but they’re their own separate families. Lacewings are family Chrysopidae and Antlions are Myrmeleontidae. Hope this helps.
@@madeofmeats Damn, that's why I hate common names. You're right. The confusion comes from adult antlions often being referred to as "antlion lacewings", also commonly (falsely) abbreviated as just lacewings. I appreciate the correction!
The fire ant picture was a weaver ant and while fire ants are omnivorous the weaver ants are truly carnivores
No they aren’t. Almost all ants eat both protein food and carbohydrates in the case of most ants they get the protein from meat and insects and feed that their brood and they get their carbohydrates from sugary things. Weaver ants as example will farm aphids to get their honeydew. Almost no ant is purely carnivorous the only one I know of that just hunts are Dracula ants. They feast on the blood of their brood and the brood only needs protein so they only collect protein.
@@mr.azarian6551 Yes, and weaver ants are very fascinating, the way they build their colonies is amazing.
@@Greatduck777 what I find even more fascinating is the way they build their nests and defend the tree it is on
5:00 you could've went for a larva looking creature
The majority of ants are actually omnivores and have a farm of fungus that they use to feed the colony they also capture, kill, or scavenge other insects that they also eat
Just the leaf cutters farm fungus. Which is what they use the leaf for.
Leafcutters farm fungus, a large amount of ants harvest seeds, most if not all ants feed on sweets (which range from honeydew from aphids and other sap-driking bugs to plant produced sweets as well as honey) and on top of that ants will eat meat and other bugs, of course.
They also farm aphids for their honeydew
Not all species farm. Ants are so diverse. They live numerous different lifestyle depending on the species.
I like how spore is so old but everyone keeps playing it since its so fun XD
Other old games still get traction too, but spore doesn’t get updates. Spore is still chad
A lot of ants spray formic acid! :D They can also inject it with stingers, which they have on their buts! They need both protein and sugars to make healthy colonies, therefore they're omnivores.
6:58 "And ants do have big ole dumpersons."
Commentary at its finest.
The one thing I didn't like about spore was that unless you want to struggle during the campaign you had to use certain parts with no regards to looks. Kind of wish there was a way to upgrade weaker parts to also have higher damage.
what i always did was use the part i wanted, then hide the stat part by making it tiny
@@zedetta6239 same, but it fills complexity real fast.
As a myrmecologist, I have had to resist going on a massive thread about everything ants
Good, thank you, it would just be obnoxious
@@MisanthropicOcellusI like reading peoples paragraphs about stuff they’re interested in
Please that would be so cool
@@MisanthropicOcellus Then go somewhere else. Live and let be. Enjoying ants is harmless.
@@avasuikatodoroki7061 I second this.
I put this on as I went to bed and got hooked on it. Very good video felt very nostalgic to watch spore again. Keep it up 💯
You:What is it, the abdomen.
Me:Yes.
You:No.
Me:🤨
4:43 I think you were right on the first one, the back part is called the abdomen and the middle is the thorax.
At least, I’m pretty sure lol. I am notorious for mishearing things and I learnt that fact many many years ago so I very well could have misheard. I always second guess myself XD
@great gamer 472 ah, so I have been wrong my whole life XD
Nope, actually the middle IS the thorax (usually the body part that contains the legs and wings of the insect), while the back part is the abdomen (usually containing the digestive and reproductive organs of the insect). You can also see this in arachnids; they do not have the middle body part: they only have a head and a thorax (which in this case also contains the heart)
@@nestoramadorfebles3586 arachnids have a cephalothorax and an abdomen
@@nestoramadorfebles3586 haha I knew it!!!
I actually googled it and tried to reply with a link but the comment just wouldn’t get posted :/
@@nestoramadorfebles3586 In spiders, the thorax and the head are fused, so they have an abdomen and either a thorax, cephalothorax, or a head depending on which way you prefer to call it
Fun Fact: Most ant species are actually omnivores!
more pogged spore content
Ayyy good to see ya my mans
9:07 "Once we are 15 - let's mate" - Jancum
Not 7 year old spore content? Amazing.
In the game these ants really tiny, but if you put it to scale, it'd be more or less the size of a small dog in real life
So Australian ants then
@@silentshadow9983 As an Aussie, you are 101% correct. The smallest ant I’ve ever seen was the size of a bird 🤔
@@jahooooooo
And... How big are the birds?
@@Ze12365 you dont wanna know..
Next try to beat spore as an ant of medium size
There are 15000 known ant species and another 15000 possible unknown ant species, a ton of ants❤
Spore is such a unique game and I love seeing people make more content with it. ( Though I wish we could get a new version that really captured the essence of what makes for interesting)
Edited for spelling(voice to text needs editing 🤷)
Ah yes, S p o r t
Love seeing Spore videos, it’s so nostalgic and comfy. I like your editing and commentary as well, you have a lovely relaxed vibe! Subscribed, looking forward to more cozy videos from you!
Btw young ant queens have wings and once they mature they loose them
So the Proto Ant is your Antcestor - right?
protozoans move over, protoant is new meta
Your ruthless aggression is very satisfying...and Antlike. heh.
Btw, the thorax is the middle part, the abdomen is the big bulbous butt. Now although fire ants are venomous with stingers, some ants can expel acid to attack so the poison thing can still be considered accurate. And I have never heard of a ant that can produce electricity like an electric eel.
Watched some of your Spore videos and I just wanna tell you that it's nice to see how you take the evolution roleplay seriously without being dry and humorless. Your Spore series is amazing!
Wow, thank you!
this is one of my first videos by you, and I am hooked. I have always loved spore, and this reminded me of my childhood. thank you. instant subscribe.
as the boyfriend of an aspiring entomologist, antlions are not ants, they are a close relative to the lacewing and mantis fly
Ants are omnivores, tho...
i love how in late cell stage the "Ant" is actually bigger than a regular ant. using shells as reference.
Also ants have six legs
This video made me realize the potential of Spore challenges and how creative they can be. Also I love the ants designs!
I wish the cell stage could last forever, it's so mesmerizingly beautiful and relaxing
Play stuff like Agario.o :P
@@fotis3v480 Agario ain't even remotely close bro
@@pesci20002010the spore mobile game was just that.
The Feeding frenzy games offered a similar dopamine rush
6 legs ????? ants do be 6 leg guys
"Trying to think of a pun here..."
Me: "ANTCESTOR! ANTCEST- ...fuck it."
The thorax is the “connector” to the first and third parts of an ants body, like spiders, ants have enlarged abdominal pieces to their genetics which allow them to attract mates and identify themselves among each other
I'm so happy we have the ants we have today instead of those
Imagine if we met these Antonios.
Apparently they're the size of small dogs
I don't understand English well but this video was really interesting, I was especially amused by how the ants were running and jumping haha. I hope one day I can play this game
It’s an old game, but a lot of fun. I remember playing it on my older sister’s laptop.
your writing English is good, mate.
@@kritzkrieg14 thanks bro
Ant lions aren’t ants.
They are ant murderers.
So are ants
@@metal_pipe9764 The other guy just meant that antlions are the insect version of anteaters.
I don’t know where you live, but you have some real weird looking ants over there.
I like animal facts and I see a ton of people sharing their ant loving facts, so I’ll join the discussion.
Fire ants are crazy smart, they’ve been known to link their legs together during floods to form rafts, and they carry the babies and Queen on their raft. Nothing is more disturbing than seeing a large, floating pile of live Fire ants. Can tell you from experience, their sting hurts.
Some ants have been known to farm Aphids. They guard the aphids from predators and in exchange the aphids produce a sugary substance that feeds the ants.
Ants carry their dead to an ant graveyard. The ants recognize dead ants by scent, and the chemical cue that produces this scent is made by Oleic acid: a common ingredient in some cereals like Trix. Ants get very confused by Oleic acid and in one experiment, a live ant was made to smell like this chemical. This ant willingly went to the graveyard and stayed, until the scent wore off.
Speaking of scent, most ants recognize each other from scent. Many ants have poor eyesight, which some crazy species take advantage of. One example is the large blue Caterpillar, which tricks the ants into taking care of it as brood parasite.
was recommended this video. Looked at your channel expecting a million or half a million subscribers. Bruh...
I literally found a gem of a channel 😭💖
I appreciate that!
"delicious amphibian ?" Whatcha mena by that?
A green tree queen ant:"falls"
Him: a perfect photo to mimic my death
Now make a roach build, where it has as much hp as possible.
Edit: cause theyre hard to kill
Lmao i love the edit and voiceovers
Spore is one of those games that are quite old but still good
i like how he choose the same beginning cell and argue to justify lmao
4:46 one more correction: the thorax is the area of any insect’s middle part, in flying insects/ants such as the alates or drones, they have extended thoraxes to fit the flight muscles. The abdomen is the tail part.
just casually watching this at 1am, where my walls are paper fine and i can hear my brother drunkly (loudly) talking (/sing) with his friends in VR chat... while trying to fall asleep since i need to catch a train at 8am... :D
Ants are actually omnivores (but they just like meat)
Most*
Ants also have 6 legs, if we are talking about details
This is my first vid, and right as I heard that this guy won as a frog I became very interested.
As I was watching this, I just got an ad for liquid ant bait.
The voice over makes this gold tier entertainment👌
Thank you CZcams for introducing me to this dude.
"I don't see why the baby is mate calling, that dosent seem right" 🤔
Hearing the solid snake death killed me😅😂😂😂
The thorax is atually the middle part, you had it right the first time 4:42
" delicious amphibian" this quote would have made me scream at you if I was younger 😂 (I hated people who eat frogs, but now I'm fine.)
You could make a great "out of context" video with your soundbites lol
I love how spore is perfect to build ants. Since the cell stage its extremely easy to build an ant.
I thought you were gonna say "cuz you know ants got DAT ASSS." 😂😂😂
The fact that an ant lion is a ant is not true, it is a fly larvae that feeds on ants instead.
Ants also feed on ants so that's irrelevant
I'm getting flashbacks to our druid in a DND campaign that kept ranting about how ants were the ultimate form of life
Nvm I'm back, I'm going through a spores phase and you've got a relaxing voice, goodnight day 2
Wow, that was fascinating! It was the greatest documentary about Australian ants I've ever seen!
the antlion is a flying creature, similar to the dragon fly. the picture that you showed, was the larva, which is the most popular form of the antlion.
I remember when I made a herbivore that was just tall enough to simply grab the fruit trees, however I forgot how to do that as I done it once many years ago but it is possible and not that simple.
15:06 I KNEW you were going to do that, saw it coming a mile away LOL :D
Learn something new every day, I only know the antlion from terraria, and I would say it like ant-leon.
You kinda sound like technoblade, I love spore.
Ah hell yeah
May he rest in peace 💔
Am I the only person that was bothered by the fact that 1 of the 6 tentacle things during cell stage was out of sync with the other 5 tentacles? I just couldn't stop paying attention to that hahaa
I'm rlly thankfull for this video. Perfect for while I wait 40 min for the night buss after a party💀
I agree that is the perfect time to watch Jankum
biblically accurate ant
This video had the most “that’s what she said” and “pause” moments I’ve ever seen in a CZcams video
About the ants and wings thing; No. Drones don't have wings. Elates have wings. Elates are the breeders that a colony sends out during mating season to propagate during nuptial flights. After mating, a drone dies, and a new queen (female elate who's been inseminated) loses her wings.
So, two legs, venomous string, flying...are you sure you didn't make a wasp by mistake? A...two-legged wasp?
You don’t need hands to get to the tribal stage
now hold on there, there is no "us" in this equation 7:30
Ant go scrt scrt
I find ants actually quite beautiful when compared to other insects. When you see other beautiful insects under a microscope they become nightmare fuel, not ants.
I hate ants. But I do find them fascinating as well. I’m curious where this will go.
Me with spiders...hate them so much but danm they are cool
A Weaver ant queen is a good choice for the death counter
I got an ad for orkin on this video, a pest control lmao
How are you not at 1k yet?
Any day now my man
