Rhinoceros Beetles (Xylotrupes gideon philippinensis) are truly some of the most spectacular and majestic creatures of the insect world. This is why I was thrilled to add some beetle larvae to our growing menagerie of creatures in the 'Antiverse' (my Ant Room).
Back in October, when I first got the scarab beetle grubs, I prepared growth chambers for them, to house them as they developed into beetles. I was told they were going to emerge by Christmas time, but when both Christmas and New Year passed with no beetle in sight, I finally made the decision supported by your votes, to go in and look for them! What we discover in this video will truly amaze you, as well as my grand idea for us to have some fun with a beetle tournament.
Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

It's all fun and games until one starts flying.
Exactly what i was thinking XD
🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Lmao fr

Then the parrot will eat it
I had a rhino beetle like that once.
One day I was playing with it and showing it to my dormmates at my boarding school (which is where I found it). It was so fun to look at it crawl around on my arm and scare my friends with it. It was all fun and games until my friend was holding it, letting it climb his arm when... it’s shell opened spreading it’s giant wings. It stood still for a few seconds. What little time we had to react, some of my friends ran, some stood still cold in fear, some screamed. The one with the beetle on his hand tried not to panic. And then... it flew. Buzzing around, the dorm everyone was in chaos until it landed on my friends towel where someone picked it up and make sure it didn’t go of flying again. We decided it was time to let it go at that point. It was fun playing with him, but you know as they say... if you love it let it go
That's a really messed up story.
@DasAntiNaziBroetchen how its funny? Why are people so over sensitive
@@HushDJusahe let it go....
6:08 :
AntsCanada:"talking"
The beetle:STOP TALKING AND HELP ME GET UP
The first beetle was like "WHAT DO YOU WANT GO AWAY HUMAN" 😂
this is like a new genre, insect unboxing? insect mystery box surprise? insect reveal?
Im am completely ok with this. I want more insect unboxing vids.
yeah
Sounds great for me!
Nope its drama
You can understand why the ancient Egyptians saw these beatles as sacred. The transformation must have convinced them that resurrection was possible
1:52 The terrarium in his room is clearly a cover for his massive weed farm lol
14:45 or somewhere rite there it looks like bud in his tank lol
the first beetle be like: *yo wtf let me sleep*
ikr
*my spirit animal*
MoOd
Lol
beetle no pls just pls let me sleep asap!
bug dude to female beetle: gorgeous to look at and ‘SOLIDLY’ built
female beetle: blushes （＾∇＾）

Larva: HEY CAN A WORM GET SOME PRIVACY
Cacoon thingy: im still sleeping
Beetle: TIME TO BREAK SOME FINGERS
Second beetle: Daaaad noooo... 5 more minutes! I'll wake up later!
I swear this guy needs to be a show on TV like is anyone else feeling that
Yes i think so too
Hell ya man I can agree
I honestly think he already is
Yep
Yes, he makes it so exciting almost like a sope opera. Exuce my spelling I do apologise.
"Can you guess what these chambers contained?"
I'm gonna go ahead and guess beatles.
I don't think Paul McCartney or any of his chums would fit.
@@nymphaeales9149 yeah I agree.
Beatles = band, beetles = insects lol.
No, it was ME! DIO!
the beatles damaged our collective consciousness by making so many people to this day misspell beetles
When he was saying 'precious finds' I found myself whispering, "please be females, please be females, please be females..." Yes, I actually cheered when the girls were revealed! lol!
I'm suddenly addicted to bugs. Which is so weird because I'm a bug-o-phobic. BIG time. I despise all insects. Yet here I am. Cheering for insects and actually smiling when they do well. So strange. Lordy, I may end up with an ant colony of my own one day soon.
honestly i used to be terrified of bugs but then i got really into keeping isopods and all of that just. vanished. me n bugs are homies now for real
I love how he is called Ants Canada, which would imply an ant channel and he still films videos about other mini beasts.
Me too
For your next batch of beetle larvae put one dog food piece per week in each enclosure. This helps the beetles grow into much bigger adults, mostly having bigger horns. Also congrats on the beetles!
Like so ants Canada can see so next time he gets even bigger beetles!
Thumbs this up guys so he sees :D
Woah that's a really cool fact thanks!
Wow interesting facts!
Zeus
The Outdoor Explorer Actually not all beetle larvae can feed on dog food piece maybe some beetles such as the Goliathus species’ larvae can feed on dog food as their larvae is a little carnivorous.
This bloke is honestly the best, he is positive and enthusiastic about sharing something he loves
Agreed. Though his old videos (2 years ago and earlier) are a lot different from his new videos in good and bad ways. I feel like it's a lot more tailored now to work along with a large audience, and I feel are now slightly less personal.
actually, he's asian.
Don't forget educational, I love learning about these beautiful creatures :)
me and my sisters used to find these, thanks for the nostalgia
I used to catch June beetles when I was young, a very common thing to do in summer if you live in the countryside in the Philippines, but these giant beetles I kinda avoid, they kinda scared me. They are pretty harmless but looks scary when flying lol.
Ah yes, salagubang. Fun times those were.

For some reason this made me think of the robot spider from watch_dogs 2. Dunno why but there ya go
I'm legit getting goosebumps by the thought of it
wait wait wait,they can fly? I thought they were too bulky to fly, okay now I’m scared,I live where they are native to

Its his approach , enthusiasm, etc.
To be honest its genius .
If this style of explanation and teaching was implemented in schools I think it have a massive positive effect on tests scores and retention of information taught.
Different sized horns.
These beetles are absolutely gorgeous. And those female beetles! Their round faces are so cute! 😊
Beetles and such ive found are pretty hardy animals, I changed my leopard geckos enclosure and moved him into a bigger one and when I finally decided to clean the old enclosure after a long ass time I found a mealworm beetle just chilling in there and it had at least been two months
Poseidon is my boy.
And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would want to see a Percy Jackson Beatle.
me to!
Same, also, Poseidon has the chamber that has fungus in it, making him the one with huge horns, just saying.
I choose Poseidon cuz of percy jackson but because water attracts me im literally everything lol always choose water.
Me. I went to the lightning thief musical world tour earlier today. It was more accurate to the books then the movie and the songs were great.
me to
this man playing real life pokemon lmao
He would be a bug type trainer
I just imagine the beetles saying "Ey yo who tf turned the light on?" when they're first uncovered.
first rhino beetle: I HAVE EMERGED
If you ever find an albino rhino beetle, you’ve got to name it Kratos.
That would be cool but albinism does not exist in invertebrates due to the nature of how pigmentation occurs differently in vertebrates.
😭😭😭

@@andrezits9723 LOL
I have never in my life seen anyone so exited about some bugs
As someone suffers from entomophobia I don’t know why CZcams recommend me this video, but I am ready for a desensitization session.
Mankind: ~makes stories about gods fighting.~
Man: pretty cool I guess...
AntsCanada: ~Names some crunchy bois after gods and makes them fight to the death.~
Man: *NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE*
Lmao yeesss
Well not to the death per say but a game of war
wait fight to the DEATH
OH HELL YEAH
Everybody gangsta till the rhino beetles start flying.
I can see all girls running
@@SUPA.S17 tf
He said almost every name rong,
1. Zeus gets pronounced like zois
2. Ares is whit an other a but that sound doesn't exist in English as far as I know
4. Hephaestus gets pronounced really strange but and to explain you that, that would take pretty long
I remember this guy with his "Oh NOES!" cartoon voice. 😀
One of my favorite oldschool channels.
if rhino beetles start pestering coconuts near this dude you know who to blame.
CZcams Recommended: Hey...I bet you would like getting into ANTS videos.
Me: What the hell? How is this a thing?
Me 3 hours later: I'm picking my favorite Greek God Gladiator Rhino Beetle and my friends are placing bets.
"I'm not sure why all males weren't created equally" Hey man size doesn't matter
*laughing then begins crying*
😂💀
I love the way you narrated this! Sounds like an epic reality/ competition tv show!
I'm sure hope your rhino beetle, Zeus, would win these games.
Hades is just taking more time to grind xp, my vote is with him.
He will be max level when he arrives I’m with hades as well
Gg, god of the underworld gonna rise outta the depths like "what up"
Same. plus hades is my fave god X3
Pejti ya hades
Me too.
"I never got used to the sound."
Try raising a cicada.
No sleep right there
It would grow up with you
Yikes
Got thousands of Them in Brazil, they sound lovely!!!
It’ll take a few years or more.
"Can you guess what I found in these chambers", I'm guessing its some form of Beetle
It's all fun and games until one start moving at lightspeed, emit lighting bolts and start saying " my grandmother once told me"
Dionysus...
1. Because his name is cool
2. Because he was drunk 70% of the time
Cringy Cocconut 100% of the time.
Seems like He would like Vodka quite a Bit :D
Dionysus!
I choose Hephaestus, because in mythology he was a nice guy who invented all sorts of useful things, but was spurned for being a cripple. Also, most of the Greek Gods are horrible people. Zeus cheated on his wife dozens of times with mortal women and abducted women. Poseidon also cheated on his wife. Ares slaughtered thousands for entertainment, slept with Aphrodite (who was married to someone else) and is the master of some of the most evil and destructive spirits there are, such as Eris. Apollo murdered the Cyclopes in a hissy-fit. Dionysus was constantly drunk and had little or no sense of proper judgement. Hera killed, attacked and tortured almost all of Zeus' mortal wives and children. Athena spurned Hephaestus, and refused to befriend him due to him being a cripple. Aphrodite slept with Ares while she was already married, had to be bribed into marrying in the first place and played a significant part in starting the ten-year siege of Troy. And Hades conspired with Gaia, in order to kidnap Persephone, who was a teenager at the time!
That stuff may seem bad but something even worse is that all the gods are siblings!
A bit long
Hades didn't conspire with Gaia and didn't kidnap Persephone either, she also wasn't a teenager, Hades invited Persephone because he wanted to court her, she loved it down there because she wasn't treated like something fragile like her mother treated her. Also, Hephaestus (Trigger warning Rape) raped Aphrodite because she wouldn't sleep with him.
@I Agree
i bet Hephaestus is gonna die first..... lol
I think u did a good choice
Im so glad you kept them alive they look so great
HEPHAESTUS! HE'LL NEVER GIVE UP! HE'LL BEAT THEM LIKE AN ANVIL!
The power of the seas is with us
For Poseidon
Poseidon shall concur all >:D
Yes we're all a team in comment
poseidon for dayyyssssssssssssssss btw 5 minutes till gladioator fight right now
Agreed, the power of the sea compels us! Ha Za!
