- Aluminium Casting of a Jumping Jack Bull Ant Nest (Myrmecia nigrocinta) by Australian Ant Art™
australianantart
The first casting from this weekend where we cast five different Jumping Jack nests with varying results. Jumping Jack Bull Ants are very aggressive ants and will swarm out from a nest and hunt down the intruder, bringing their nasty venomous stings. They are about 13 mm long but can jump up to 10 cm. Each worker can reproduce and they can also enslave other species of ants. Also, the ground catches fire.
Cast Dimensions:
Weight: 9.9 kg (21.8 lb)
Height: 740 mm (29.1")
Length: 500 mm (19.7")
Width: 340 mm (13.4")

It's crazy how different species in ants have such drastically different hives!
Nests?
I’ve always heard of their homes referred to as nests.
Love the casual grass fire going in the background
Wow. This might be my favorite casting ever. The size of the chambers is incredible.
Very cool! Thanks, ants😁.
Yeah, well, those ants are pretty big.
Any one else notice that ant that yeeted it into the Molten lol
yes !! I noticed !!
I saw that too!
time stamp?
Yeeted?

That is really awesome but I can’t help but to think of the ants going up to the rim and seeing molten lava I bet they wrote story’s about this
Ya'll get millions of views on your first 6 videos then dont post for 2 years.. Keep them coming! We clearly like them
Still haven't seen an estimate of how many 100K sets of ants lost their home in this. Fairly big side chambers in that nest.
Probably got attacked by militant vegans and animal rights types.
Had to wait until the ants build new ones🤣
Probably got arrested for starting a wild fire
This one is just a week after Covid began !! Probably had more time and opportunity during Covid ... Thats all !! :)))
Its about time y'all came out with a new video. Been waiting a long minute. Lol
We have a couple more coming and a lot of other material to make many videos... just need the time to cut them together.
@@australianantart1376 yay! good to hear!
It’s obvious you have been doing this for some time. Using all the right safety equipment. Really a well run operation. Well done.
I guess you didn’t see the guy barefooted while pouring molten aluminum.
Ant #1: 'Hey, what's that whooshing sound I hear'? Ant#2: 'Dunno, I was kinda worried about the heat I'm feeling'.....
ok "jumping jack bull ant?" yea no thanks i don't want bull ant's jumping on my face i'm not goin to Australia
smart. nastiest ant in the world.
Have seen so many of these nests destroyed by molten aluminium its a wonder the ants are not extinc.
This species takes around 3 months for a colonies first workers to arrive and they they work for years to achieve massive colonies like this, to be killed it 20 minutes by some CZcamsrs seeking views 😢
How quickly people forget about Australia burning to the ground
:D. Check date in video... Also, Australia burns to the ground also every year.
@@australianantart1376 Yeah because people like you start fries.
Fires*
@@coolcrittersaustralia6062 - Right. Blame the people _right there_ who plainly _PUT OUT_ the fire they accidentally started. That's the best way to deal with _all_ the reasons parts of Australia are so dry.
@@coolcrittersaustralia6062
How dare you!
Regards, Greta.
This was news to me. Previously I only knew of one species of jumping bull ant, M pilosula. I was stung once as a child and remember it as more painful than the sting of M gulosa, which is twice as big.
Yeah, the pilosula give a very nasty sting. These guys are not as bad. "Jumping Jack" is a term that is also applied to this species. They really do like to jump.
No ants were harmed during the making of this video
Those lucky few ants that made it out before the pour...
They'll die anyways bc the Queen is dead
they were cremated to be part of sculpture
0:59 that poor ant jumped straight into the molten aluminum
Very brave! I heard those buggers have a nasty bite.
How is this brave, they are so tiny and when you’ve got molten aluminium and poring it into their home it’s not the hardest job
@@BonezyBoy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_jumper_ant Four recent deaths.
From the article:
"The ant venom is particularly immunogenic for an insect venom; the venom causes about 90% of Australian ant allergies. In endemic areas, up to 3% of the human population has developed an allergy to the venom and about half of these allergic people can suffer from anaphylactic reactions (increased heart rate, falling blood pressure, and other symptoms), which can lead to death on rare occasions. Between 1980 and 2000, four deaths were due to anaphylaxis from jack jumper stings"
Allergies like this are something that you can develop, rather than be born with. These guys are at risk of exactly that. As they point out in other videos, this isn't exactly the safest of professions.
(This is also a reason why you DO NOT want these little beasties anywhere near a home)
Omg you put up another video finally! You just made my day, week, month and year! I hope this means you're back.
We have a couple of videos ready for release and material for more but not the time to cut them together. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Does this process actually get rid of the whole nest? Or does it damage the lawn any? Just wondering cuz this could be a two bird one stone situation. Homeowner pays to get ants removed and you get another art piece.
I mean, you WOULD have to dig a big ass hole in the lawn...
It gets rid of this one nest, but there are probably dozens more. You didn't notice the lawn on fire? If anything, he probably pays the homeowner to do this.
@@sminthian I did notice the fire! You do know fire is also good for healthy plant growth because of the carbon right? I was wondering if the liquid metal had any effect on the soil.
@@Apologies55 Doesnt effect the yard/soil aside from the hole, which is covered with dirt. In a few weeks, new grass grows and nobody knew it ever was there.
They definitely do not have to pay the homeowner!
The homeowner should be paying them to do this.
This stuff I would love to buy and display at home
Casting is dope....music not so much...I would have rather heard the sounds or a voice over.... great channel
Builds Ant Art, starts bushfire.
These are so creepy to me but I can’t stop watching
I take it 67 ants downvoted this video?
2ft plus deep . That’s amazing what ants do underground. Amazing art done .
How is that art!
@@mark261166
If you need it explaining you wouldn’t understand.
@@deletebilderberg Try me ...... How is pouring hot metal down a hole, that is not fashioned in any way at all by that person, amounting to art. What artistic talent is being used.....?
@@mark261166 Nature is the answer. The ants make all of the artwork. The guy just casted some molten aluminum to make some sort of statue out of it.
@@mrterry1756 I know what we could do..... Follow him home, wait until he has all his family over..... then poor molten Aluminium down his chimney..... and call it 'Art' .
They are great little architects … fascinating stuff, thank you ✨ Stay well
How much would u charge for that??
Makes me wonder if the artist who did album covers for the band Yes took any inspiration from these amazing structures. They really look similar.
Make it a challenge...do it with ants STILL IN THE NEST!
LOL
the ants would kill them
It was nice of them to build these tunnels so that you could use them as a mold. Better thank them next time.
Wish they could do this to all the criminals...they'd need a lot more to cover up fifteen percent of the population
Just found your channel. Cool videos!
Seeing some of the ants in that nest escaped, I'm sure one of them is currently an alcoholic writer coming out with a book on Amazon soon. "I survived man!!!!!"
Great work of art.
So this is why Australia keeps having wildfires
Yaaayyy I clicked on this video so fast!!! I missed you guys!!!
It would be interesting to include some research about why the ants build the tunnels and chambers the way they do. That kind of information would set your channel apart from the other guys who do similar work.
Bull ants are notoriously uncooperative when you ask them about why they build their tunnels and their chambers. They just don't want to share that information.
@@alexveldhuis6004 LOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!
No animals were injured during the making of this film.
When the soda cup keeps filling up with fizz
what happens to the ants??? tell me you take the time send out notices of eviction BEFORE you start pouring.
This one sounds dangerous! Yikes! Cool looking though!
Yaayyy! You're back!
Only until we go underground again...
@@australianantart1376 noooo 😭
Was the water to clean the casting or put out the bush fire? 😂
I absolutely love it.... is it for sale? ?
Not this one. It was a gift to the fella who let us on to his property to do the casting.
So what happened to the ants ??
No ants were injured during the casting of their nest. Ant nests make the most beautiful creations.
Killing ants is a labor of love
@@dedrakuhn6103 huh?
Holy jumping Jesus, that thing is HUGE! I love it!
0:58
RIP the homie on the top
Hey guys what sort of material is the crucible?
Yay your back! Keep em coming guys!
This reminds me of the city of Pompeii disaster.
Holy moly it kept takin more
So funny how there's the beginnings of a bushfire in he background and they just can't be fucked
Ants outside are like 'who hired this guy to do the remodeling'
So this is how those Australian wildfires started!
That’s not very nice. What did the ants do to deserve this?
OK, snowflake
@@Phoenix_Blader_93 not very nice
10 bit me when I was 7 and I waited years to get them back...Great job men...
They existed
Superb!
More amazing is that the happy clappy types aren’t trolling you for the outright violence against these poor little ants. More hypocrisy exposed.
That is such a messy way of digging that out.
Nice conversation statue to have on display..
No ants were harmed in the making of this video . . . . Ish
NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Bloody brilliant ! Those soldiers guard ants didn't have a clue? they run down the side where it was cool searching around wondering what this new building was they've got around their nest? one runs back over the mound and jump straight into it! LOL Poor baby :
They r just trying to survive 🤦♂️
Many ants were harmed in the making of this video 😡
Kidding ! 🤣 cool video
I agree, he killed a colony that was years old as well as their beloved queen. this is animal cruelty!
You could tell that was going to be deep from the way the aluminium sunk.
That is wild. Looks great.
Why are thee Texas ant hill casting so much finer and prettier? These things are clunky - in Texas they are thin and spiny tunnels.
Why you had to kill these ants??
Wow those buggers burrow deep….
Welcome back! We missed you!!!
Bloody hell, these guys don't dig tunnels, they dig mansions.
Is there a way to buy art like this? I think it’s beautiful it’s more of the aspect of going after then the price. What a piece of history this is and he can teach our children so much about how our world grows Not just above but also lives below ground. Please let me know if there’s a way I can purchase one of these. I don’t have a lot of money but it’s definitely worth showing it in a classroom at school for children. God bless. Stay safe and healthy. Steve.
I reckon ants are aliens & we don't even know it really there colonies look very much to what we're lead to believe 🤔🤣
One I can give a thumbs up to. Enough aluminum, and heated hot enough.
Plot Twist: the australian wild fires of 2020 were a revenge attack from the one ant that got away in the beginning.
WANDER WHO WILL MAKE THE FIRST ONE OUT OF GOLD?!
Were you the guys responsible for those crazy brush fires?
Nope
When you make a casting of ant hills are the ants in there hills
Me and my grandpa made a small one of these once and I gave it to my wife to use as a jewelry tree. She hangs her necklaces, bracelets, and rings on it.
Ha!🤣. Melt beer cans in crucible, pour down ant hole.......I'M AN ARTIST!! What a tool.
No Ants were harmed during the making of this Artwork.
Is there a market for these unique scalures...
Why don’t you guys wet down the grass before starting? I’m not sure if that would mess anything up or not but it seems there are always small fires to put out and it appears to be very distracted. Ok just curious. Keep up the good work.
It would cause the water to instantly turn into steam and explode sending bits of molten metal flying everywhere.
Yikes! That thing is huge ! 😬
Bro I think you know about that you killing total ant colony 😔 it's soo sad
Metallurgical genocidal insect art.
Sorry i just like the way it sounded ✌️.
Interesting hobby , this is the second video I've ever seen amazing. 👌
I don't think anyone can deny that these are cool as hell looking but I find it slightly disturbing that you killed 1000's if not 100's of thousands of creatures for art. It doesn't set well with me in the least.
That's badass!
I am not sure that no ant was harmed when shooting this video. How did he made them agree to moving to another place?
uh... all the ants were incinerated.
Satisfactorio al 100%!
Great job. Totally amazing.
Next there is fire around the pouring, put it out immediately so that pyromanes see it completely out.
And not a single tear was shed for those little hell spawn
Nice result, ant nests work the best, unlike yellow jackets'.
You cut two trees to do that?
Amazing! It triggers me they get displayed upside down.
That's lovely 😊❤
Look like Fire Ants to me ..😄
I wonder if anyone has excavated one of these with a suck truck. You could do it in minutes.
Tens of thousands of ants were harmed killed and maimed in the making of this video I'm so happy I hate Jack jumper ants
How neat is that?
That thing is insane!!! Are these things valuable? Other than the obvious value of the aluminum
Yeh I think I prefer the American fire ant nest castings but that’s me.
That’s just claiming thousands of lives not cool
