Where I live in California I would say that Argentine ants are the most common ant you see walking around. They make long trails and travel long distances when they are out looking for food. A few months back I was out on a walk and was lucky enough to see a massive colony moving, they had several nest openings all along a side walk and were moving all their eggs, brood, and pupil into a hole in the base of a tree. It was really cool watching them move and what made it even more exciting to me was seeing all the virgin queens and male alates walking along and moving into the new nest site. Argentine ants are small in comparison to some ants but tough. I’ve seen them in an ant war before with several of them hanging onto the legs of much larger ants, very cool and fascinating, but sad to see native carpenter ants displaced.

Great video, Jordan! Those little mites are definitely interesting. It always amazes me how these types of creatures just appear out of seemingly no where (I'm assuming you didn't introduce them!). As for your contest, I'm from Southern Ontario in Canada. I would have to say that the two species that I see most often is Tetramorium (Pavement Ants) and Camponotus pennsylvanicus. I just recently acquired the Camponotus colony and they've currently taking their winter nap. One neat thing that they did when I placed them into their current home was one worker brought in a bunch of dirt from their outworld and closed off one of the rooms providing moisture... I guess this is a species that prefers a dry nest. I thought that this was a pretty cool adaptation! As for my Tetramorium species, I caught the queen back in late July and they're not about 15 workers strong. They're pretty picky with their food, definitely fun experimenting - they're currently loving small bits of almond. They're they're a bit larger in colony size, I hope to move them into my classroom so that my students can watch them grow too.

The most abundant ant species in my area is Rytidoponera Metallica. I was sitting round a campfire once got stung over 10 times on my feet, who knew there was a nest there? They are everywhere in my area and the queens are hard to tell apart from the workers which makes quite frustrating to find/raise. I have however been lucky enough to find a queen not too long ago. I love that they semi-claustral because it makes raising them much more interactive, also many ants are soft and delicate, but Ritdo.P have extremely hard exoskeletons which makes them easier to catch. Somthing I've noticed from observation is that there colours are not perfectly uniform, some are darker and slightly blue and some are your classic green. It's abit frustrating seeing them all the time when I go anting instead of the other species I'm after, but I'd definitely miss them if they weren't around. Definitely one of my fravorites! :)

I have been long awaiting this video. I do the same exact thing. My neighborhood is absolutely FILLED with Argentine ants. When I first started this hobby, I was so disheartened since I couldn't find any other species other than Argentine ants, which do not fly, meaning I could not capture my own young queen. Today, I have a couple slow growing camponotus I bought, but my favorite is a collection of Argentine colonies I have joined together. They would have been killed, and so I captured as many as I could instead, before they were sprayed, several with several colonies. I absolutely love them since the colony is so big and all I have ever wanted from this hobby is to have a big enough colony that no matter what, if I feed them or look at them, they are sure to be something amazing and interesting. Plus they do not hibernate, and that is a bonus. Should we make a superhero team named the "humanitarian Argentine ant resistance"? Instead of killing your giant colony, maybe you should give them to a museum or research group? The museum can show them off, like leafcutter ants are often used. Or a research group could learn tons just like you did, or use the incredible population to be able to do tests with no need to wait for more workers. Who knows? Another cool thing is that the colonies are immortal. The queens will have their own elates, but the other queens in the colony will also have their own, so there won't be inbreeding. The huge amount of queens and their strange breeding style allows Argentine ant queens to be one of the few, if not only, species that you can actually "breed". Pretty cool when you think about it, huh? Well, I have gone on forever now, so that's enough. Love your channel dude!

The most common ant in my area is fire ants and Argentine ants, both of them are invasive. I'm from central valley California and I plan on being an entomologist. There are many other kinds of ants in my area, but most of them are fire ants and Argentine ants. I like watching and feeding both kinds of ants because of the way that all the workers instantly help each other when one ant spots an attacker or food. Fun fact: Fire ants are from the genus Solenopsis which sounds similar to the chemical compound that they sting with called Solenopsin

@Ants Australia - I know this video is years old, but I will still comment. The only thing I have a concern with is how to clean the different chambers? The entire top sheet is one piece with dozens of screws and doesn't seem to have side access at all. I mean, those mites may eat some of the poop but it's still good to be able to clean the bathroom area of the enclosure. What? unscrew each screw, lift the entire cover, having triple digit escapees, to as fast as fuck boi wipe away the sewage to hopefully get that done and get it recapped and secured down while hopefully not killing any of the Daughter Workers in the process? I am sure in 2021, this has been thought of, I am going to look at your store after I type this comment, but from this video, I see the cleaning situation as being a problem.

I have learned that they frequently battle each other,are polygynous, can have several thousands of workers in their colonies and they are not polymorphic.Though they are not polymorphic, they are still my favorite species because of their colony size and ability to quickly and aggressively bring down and claim prey. #antsaustrailia

Hey Jordan, I love your channel. Anyway, I live in Fremont California and the most common ant species in my area is Linepithema humile, the same invasive argentine ants you see in Australia. They are so common that I didn't know there were any other ant species around here until you and Mikey Bustos and the leaf cutter ant exhibit at the California Academy of Sciences got me seriously interested in ants. Argentine ants are the only ants I have personally observed tending to sap sucking insects. Also I've noticed that in my area, Argentine ants do have nuptial flights but only for male alates. I'm guessing what happens is that the male alates fly to other colonies and mate with their queen alates underground. Also another interesting thing about ants in the Bay Area that I've noticed is that, since there is almost no rain from May to October, ants seem to have adapted to have nuptial flights during sudden heat waves instead of after rain showers as is the case in most places. I have seen almost all common ant species in the Bay Area, including Argentine ants, adopt this behavior.

I was wondering why their poo was... pulsating and fluctuating..... I'm glad you explained about the mites. The colony most likely understands the importance of their waste removal.

Solenopsis invicta called the red imported fire ant has to be the most common in central Texas here in America, you can’t take 10 steps without seeing a large ant hill full of them. They are an invasive species from South America but have actually become my first colony, catching a queen a few months ago she is close to having her first generation of workers, extremely excited I’m actually using the tubs and tubes set up you showed on this channel. Huge fan of the channel keep it up!

Why five layers? It looks like three would be enough so long as the middle layer were thick enough.

The most common ant species in my area? Definitely Camponotus pennsylvanicus. Up here in New York state, i caught my first ant queen, Camponotus pennsylvanicus! The following week i caught 3 more of the same species!(it kinda sucks because they grow slow). Fun facts? Definitely their massive super majors, and also the massive queens too! Keep up the good work!

does anyone know what to do when the population gets too big for an argentine ant colony? do i let them out into the wild or do i do something else?

If you live in an area where the species of ant is native you can let them go, but if they are not native to your area do not let them go because they will overtake other native colonies in the wild which is bad for the environment. Thank you for asking for advice before doing anything.

Hello Jordan, I am Ying Zhu from New York City, Brooklyn. The most common ants in my area are Tetramorium Immigrans, pavement ants, as expected from a city like New York. They were previously mixed with the European Tetramorium Caespitum since taxonomist could not tell if the two were different, North America vs European. And in 2017 they manage to figure it out and grant them their new official name. Like Tetramorium Caespitums they enjoy living in pavement and their wars are a sight to behold. Often in the spring and summer as I walk casually on the street, I would see a massive Ipad Pro sized or even larger mass of ants, Tetramoriums having a war. You can poke them or blow on them or shine light on them and they will completely not care, caught up in their war for territory. What makes this even more interesting is that they seem to only behave this way to each other. Tetramoriums are “invasive” in the sense they were introduced via shipping from Europe to U.S.A over time, go figure (The relationship of U.S.A and Europe goes way back after all). However, they have been safety integrate themselves and blend in into the ecosystem, in a friendly way without pushing out native species. Yet this friendliness shatters when a Tetramorium colony finds another, both colonies break out into a huge Tetramorium war. I find this behavior very fascinating. Unfortunately, I cannot get a picture of them since it is deep hibernation period here in North America, nor do I own a colony but they are interesting little packages of aggression nonetheless. And their appetite is also very amusing, being pavement ants in the city I often find them eating junk food, like soda, french fries, hamburgers, potato chips and even pizza sometimes, and it is always awesome watching how they handle each food. The city life belongs to the omnivores, those who eat anything. Thank You for holding this awesome contest. Best of luck everyone

My favourite species of ant is the ghost ant. Before, your videos I saw them as useless pests, who only steal bits of food laying about. Now, thanks to you and Ants Canada I have learned to appreciate these incredible creatures. Now, I have been actively searching for queen ants during nuptial flight. I have found a queen, which I am currently caring for. Without you, this seeming invisible world of ants has been opened. Thank you.

i really like this setup, but while watching your video, I had the idea that you could have many of these layered with a rod through one corner of each and tubes connecting each of them to one another, allowing you to swing each layer out one at a time or fan them out for display. i'm very much enjoying your channel and want to start my own ant farm from just a queen one day soon.

The most common ant species here in Florida, USA is the invasive fire ant. Every time I go out to my local park I always see different species of fire ants and multiple nests. What I have learned from them is 1. They are not a force to be reckoned with and tend to sting me often whenever I would disturb their nests 2. They are an explosive species, which is probably why they are such a notorious invasive ant!

They often found in delta areas like where i am living in ,Hanoi .These guy often found in ant hill , some hill can reach to massive size and they were made completely from SAND !
