Great vid ❤️❤️
Nice queen
Thanks man, super cool species!
For some reason, those look like tetramorium caespitum to me
Good luck with this one!
Thanks man! New video this weekend on their progress so stay tuned!
I would love to see some of your other colonies! Great Job Mate 😉👌
The collection is slowly rebuilding with bull ants one of the next to be showcased! Thanks man!
@@ant.invasion oooh 😮 Exciting!
Lol u both have bull ant queen but I don't cause I am from Asia where no bull ant are there :(
Tetramorium bicarinatum ❤️ you can give her wild workers to kelp bolster her numbers. There super social. Lemme know if you have any questions as founding can be fiddly
Wow no way seriously?? I’ve often lifted plant pots in my kitchen and found heaps of workers and brood, how should I go about adding workers/brood, I’ve heard of putting them in the fridge yet how safe is that?
You can place the workers and brood straight into the tube with no pre prep :) good chance your house really has 1 big colony :p the queen's come out to forage for protein mostly so if you caught them while hungry might explain the no eggs. Next time you find some workers and brood stick them in with her :)
Ayyye no way you legend! I think I’ll give it a shot tomorrow and film it too, would make for an awesome video I reckon!! I’ll let you know how it goes!
Yay, Ant Invasion in! No need to apologise for the short video Eli! Great content as always, and the regular new videos these days are a delight - couldn't ask for more. Actually, we could ask for more... There was a time long, long, long ago when your brother was going to set up his own ant CZcams channel too. Would you be good enough to remind him that we're all still waiting! :p
Wow a true longtime ant invasion fan! Perhaps there may be a creation of a new channel! You’ll have to wait and see 😉! Thanks man!!
They are not Monomorium Pharonis they are Tetramorium Bicarinatum!
Thank you! In fact I’m currently working on a video correcting myself on that identification, stay tuned!
Nice video bro
Thanks TheUrbanAntKeeper!!!
Are you sure it is a Monomorium Pharaonis queen, because I thought they looked different, anyway good luck with her.
That’s a very good question, I did some research online and apparently they can often be misidentified, would you have any suggestions on similar species that it could be?
@@ant.invasion Not really but in my memory, the M.Pharaonis queens looked longer and had a bigger gaster, meanwhile this queen looks more like semi clastrual as it is very similar to my Myrmica queen in size and shape. So I am thinking that it is possibly some other Monomorium species or Tetramorium Bicarinatum. Of course I could very well be wrong and it actually is Monomorium Pharaonis.
Wow thank you guys!!! I just searched it up and looks basically identical, I think you guys hit the jackpot on this one I can’t thank you enough!!!
@@ant.invasion No worries, some ant species can be very similar so mistakes are understandable.
Good luck with her! Monomorium are very fun to keep.
Then again, she does sort of look like Tetramorium bicarinatum, which are about 10x cooler! They can inbreed, so the amount of queens in the colony increases over time.
I've been looking for these things for ages, I want a colony so badly-
⁽ᴵ'ᵐ ʷᶦˡˡᶦⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵘʸ ᵃⁿʸ ᵐᵒʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᶠᶦⁿᵈ⁾
Yes dude!!! I believe they are tetramorium, considering I added 25 wild workers just today and the queen gladly accepted them!!!
Both of the mentioned species inbreed. The mean number of queens per colony in the wild of Monomorium pharaonis is over 100.
Hey Eli I have been watching you since well 320 subs and watch all your videos I am thinking of making my own ant channel and one day meeting you I am in Australia too but in the central coast but there is so many ants doing nuptial flights and already captured like 3 rainbow ant queens you should start a colany of them and do a series the them if you do a possible name would be the mighty rainbow union or the rainbow knights of rainbow kingdom lol I also got big headed queens too anyways you are epic and I see those ants all the time but never find any queens so I hope you’re one goes well 🙂
Firstly, thank you so much man!!! For sure man, go for it dude film what you enjoy, what you find fun and do whatever makes you happy, you’ll enjoy every second of it!! I think that’s an awesome idea dude, start a series covering some beginner ant species, let’s build the community back up!!!!
@@ant.invasion I am thinking of filming me catching queens but it’s raining now so if it’s sunny tomorrow I will go looking and take my phone since I don’t have a camera but if not I can do it in a few weeks you are the best and keep at it and you should keep rainbow ants they are fun to watch and my channel will need a name for the channel any ideas Eli
Yes dude that’d be awesome! Start with the basics and go from there let me know dude!!
I’ve seen a few monomorium pharaonis in my time, and this ain’t one of ‘em!
Indeed brotherin! Im lead to believe they’re now a different species that may except foreign colony members 🤩
this isnt monomorium thats tetramorium bicar another invasive tho
I think I caught one of these the other day also.. are they full claustral or semi?
I believe they may be semi claustral depending on the species however I’m releasing a video specifically outlining that, this weekend so turn notification bells on so you don’t miss it, super interesting info about this queen!!
@@ant.invasion cool looking forward to it! :)
First
Notification gang I see? 😁
