- Join Miles on the second episode of The Ant Explorer as we check out the ants of Swan Creek in Southwestern Montana. The Ant Explorer is a new series of documentary-style videos from The Ant Network that are designed to take viewers along with us on our research and outreach filming expeditions in the great outdoors.
Produced by Ben Schwartz
Directed by Miles Maxcer
This episode was filmed in late September 2018 and early January 2019.
Great video! Look forward to the next instalment! :-)
Thank you!
how easy is it for a Camponotus lownei queen ant to get stressed?
Idk
Bro imagine being lucky enough to find a solenopsis molesta queen
What is that saying? Moss always points to where the ants are? *Miles walks into the moss and nearly drowns*
Just found your channel and wanted to let you know I think you are the best ant related channel on you tube. Well done! Great production value well presented and informative. Thanks for the effort!
Thank you very much! We love hearing the positive feedback. It helps us stay motivated to keep producing high quality content for you guys!
Do you like hearing negetive feedback?
Camponotus vicinus isn’t the only polygynous species in the USA and Canada, there’s also Camponotus neariticus, and other species
Really enjoyed this video! Keep it up.
Absolutely love your videos! Can't wait to see how this channel goes!
Thank you, Ant Invasion!
3:04 I smoked 3 blunts and still couldn't find one. Oh well, ill look tomorrow with 4 maybe 5.
Fantastic video - I am so jealous of the diversity of species in that area
Thank you, Planet Ant! Yes, we are lucky!
I enyoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing!:)
Thank you! Be sure to share with your friends!
@@MilesMaxcer yes i will and your welcome to check out
and share my channel also.
I love this channel
0:28 that terrified me for a sec
Hello Miles, after listening to pronunciation of C. vicinus, I was wondering if it is correct. Where do you base your pronunciations of Genus/species from? If from Latin it should be 'viˈt͡ʃi.nus', correct? This would help in the future as it seems you are well versed in binomial nomenclature. Thanks!
Hi there! I will look into this. I learned this particular pronunciation from an entomologist mentor. Thank you for your comment!
One of our research entomologists supported the pronunciation that is in the video, but admitted that there are multiple ways to approach it. Given that we are dealing with a "dead" language, there are many discrepancies and there are few "right" answers.
I agree, even if you wanted to pronounce it in Latin, you would need to choose between two styles of pronunciation: classical or ecclesiastical Latin. Either way, the effects would be minor. I only asked as it would seem that a standardized pronunciation would be a key feature in Biology. I wonder why something like this is not implemented?
Great work !!!
Well, i really enjoy this, i really notice the effort on this video. Good job guys! Keep going, new sub here.
Thank you, Jose!
In my opinion your best video 👏 all of them are good though
Thanks King Crockett! We've released more since - what's your favorite now?
My god love your vids! 🐜🐜🐜
Ps I wish I could have Formica Rufa but I live in Australia ;-;
Thank you so much! At least you have some really wonderful ant species in Australia.
The Ant Network yeah, I just found a unidentified queen but I really want bull ants
10:57 Are those polyxenid millipedes in the Myrmica nest? I wonder if they are myrmecophiles of some sort...
Yes! Good eyes. Polyxenid millipedes are frequently observed in ant nests, though their role in them isn't understood (to my knowledge). - Miles
I need that ant sucking device immediately. For ant science, of course
David Buck haha
Great video!
Thank you! Be sure to share with friends!
Can you make a video on how to make tak vaccum device
I have a camponotus clarithorax that is polygnous
Do ants get blind from a torch
Where can you get a tube to suck up the ants like you do?
We talked more about the aspirator tool in the first episode of The Ant Explorer: czcams.com/video/WcgDhBOU-NU/video.html&t

Filter: www.autozone.com/filters-and-pcv/fuel-filter/duralast-fuel-filter/246932_953903_17721 (Just look for something very similar at a local automobile parts store)
What camera do you use?
We use many cameras and different equipment. This video was shot with a Canon T6i, and we have since upgraded to the mirrorless Canon EOS R system.
Great learning content. I just wanted to know how do you call that Ant catcher pipe and tube that you are wearing. did you make it or what do you call it? Thank you
Thank you, Mohammad! It is called an aspirator, and we have a video about it here: czcams.com/video/fjWrPNCmEvQ/video.html
Geralmente as espécies de formigas onivoras entre outros seres buscam lugares humidos como por exemplo de baixo de padras grande e pequenas,lá o calor não chega a baixa a humildade e criando um sistema de aeramento é o local perfeito onde elas buscam nidificar em ecossistemas diversos para sua incidência natural.
1:30 that queens not fertile she hasn’t flown and mated yet.
good point Mr Bass, what do you think about this, Ant Network?
Where can I get one of those ant suckers?
Hi Jack! Check out our video on insect aspirators. There’s a link in the video description. - Miles
@@MilesMaxcer Awesome, thanks!
which aphaeno species is polygynous?
The polygynous Aphaenogaster species featured in this video is Aphaenogaster occidentalis.
I would capture the queens
