Baby Roaches

I believe filmed the most gruesome, disturbing. This here is my Fire Ant colony, which you, the viewers have voted to be called &quot. The Fire Nation. Quote, and as they say, all was well until the fire nation attacked. You see, I've been receiving an unbelievable amount of requests to feed. I've been very reluctant to do so. Ethically, it was always hard for me to feed live prey, and so I've always fed freshly killed insects. Somehow I felt it would lessen their suffering. But for this blog decided to put my ethics aside, and show all of you curious once and for all. What it's like to feed an aggressive ant colony like these live insects. In this blog, I feed these fire ant colony three sizes of cockroaches. Baby Roaches You’ll see them struggle, and you'll see them dying, but what's most shocking is what happens at the end. I completely didn't expect that and what you guys. I Will see in this blog will probably traumatize you for a very long time. And so I must warn you guys, viewer discretion is strongly advised. Welcome everyone to the Ants Canada ant channel. All right, so let's take it back to where all of this first started.

Last night I introduced The Fire Nation to their newest home, an AC Outworld. Naturally decorated using a desert and Oasis biome (inaudible, sorry). The ants took to the land right away. And I loved watching them move in. If you want to watch the ants moving into this unit. Click this I-card here to watch the ants moving in, or you could watch this blog and click it later. I’ll also put the link in the description box. So it's been exactly 24 hours since Fire Nation has moved into. This new unit, and already they've begun to customize the space. Check out this hole they made. It leads directly into the nest. They've also created other holes, as seen here. This nest entrance seems to be a popular one, 'cause I see a lot of ants hiding deep inside, guarding the entrance. It seems they really-really like this space. Ants are usually very picky when it comes to their real estate. Just like most humans, ants also like their property perfect, and pristine. Check out this ant, who's taken it upon herself, to chop up this piece of Spanish moss. It seems she wants to move it out of the way. I find ants to be amazing at planning and design.

It seems ants collectively have an idea of what structures. They want to keep around their homes, and which they want to get rid of and clear up. Outside you might come across some anthills, or ant nests out in the wild. You'll notice that a lot of them have had the area cleared. If this new Baby Roaches space will become another satellite nest. They’ll need the space cleared to accommodate all of the traffic. That will be passing through this area. Of course, somewhere around here. They're going to dump all their garbage and establish a graveyard site. Oh yeah, and a bathroom near me. Okay, now know you guys are dying to see what it looks like Inside the nest so here. We go this here is one of the many entrances and if you look to [the] back. You’ll see a bunch of ants crowding around and just kind of hanging out. The floor is covered with a thin layer of sand which they’ve customized and moved into several piles. This layer of sand is what will be holding the moisture which will humidify. This entire nest space these ants like their nests. Moderately dry, but they do need humidity Especially for the brood these ends hanging out. There in the back are kind of camping out there Sort of testing. Space and are kind of gauging whether or not.

This new space will make a suitable satellite nest for Fellow sisters. The Brood and possibly the Queen I Suspect Fire nation will start to move into this nest in about four or five days. If it passes colony approval of course Now if you look over here these ants are crowding around. One of the entrances If this is going to be one of theirs. New bases you better believe they're going to be defending it like crazy. By the way, guys this entire unit took less than an hour to make. Use two simple products from our shop at. I Facebook live-streaming click this. I card here to watch the Facebook live stream or click the link. I’ll put it in the description box. Now fire ants wouldn't be fire ants. if they weren't breaking the rules, as you can see here. These girls are completely tunneling through. the hardening ground plate and creating their tunnels. Baby Roaches  I’m sure it won't be long before this entire unit will have tunnels that these ants have made. It’s as if the cavern I gave them simply wasn't enough. Look at their progress in just 24 hours! Now I know some of you guys might be asking, why I see tape down There I place tape here just for that extra insurance. Because fire ants can chew through most adhesives, they chew through glue, silicone, and a hot glue gun. So if you're paranoid like me, you place tape in all places where the acrylic meets another acrylic. Okay, I can already hear you guys and a lot. I’m going to see cockroaches being eaten and the epic gross ending.

Okay, but before I get to that let me say a few things. First, it's always a good idea to pre-kill your insects this ensures. That your ants don't get injured while they're eating their prey. But also for those of you with less aggressive species, it helps the ants out. So if their prey insects are already dead many ant species are more. Specialized in Scavenging and feeding on other creatures. That is already dead many ants are important decomposers more so than they. Predators Okay, but these fire ants are indeed predators. They are super aggressive and are fully capable of taking down prey many times their size. By the way, guys if dealing with fire ants[I] highly suggest. You wear gloves when [working] around them because of their stings. Hurt and can cause swollen itchy bumps which last week’s Fire ants use. Their powerful stings and sharp jaws subdue their prey and are ready to attack any time. They're particularly aggressive when confronting creatures on their property and Finally. I'd like to make one thing clear find fire ants demand a great amount of respect.

I'm not going to be you tuber who's going to sensationalize their predatory instincts. So my hope for this blog is that all of you guys. Watching will gain some kind of insight into the intricacies of their predatory. Behavior in other words Education guys, not entertainment. So here we go feeding fire nation live insects okay. So let's start now with [a] Baby Roaches. It only takes a few seconds before a few workers subdue. It stings it and paralyzes him fire ants. Has a toxin called Solenoids Neurotoxin which they inject using a very sharp stinger? This baby cockroach had no chance at all. What it can do now is Breathe as it becomes more. More paralyzed other ants swarm in and begin cutting it up for consumption. It’ll likely take these ends just a few hours to [have] this baby cockroach processed. Okay, now it's time [for] me to feed a slightly larger cockroach named. Instantly the cockroach begins to make a run. It as it runs about the fire ants cling on and begin stinging it vigorously. Excruciating pain the cockroach continues to run and struggle. But in the end, it's no use. This thing's eventually subdued the cockroach and paralyze it as well. It seems like a lot more ants on the surface were agitated by [this] cockroach Baby Roaches because of the size and the commotion it was causing Speaking of a commotion it seems. We have a special guest making an appearance just to check out.

What everyone's raving about on the surface Do you see her over there? It’s a virgin queen elate born from the original queen. That's just waiting around now for nuptial flight Reproductive ends like. This queen as well as males are born at a certain period of the Colony's development. And they pretty much wait around the nest until the great nuptial flight. Where they breed and start colonies of their Looks like. She's not too interested in this cockroach, for now, so she heads back to inspect the [new]. Nest these worker ants will continue to work on this cockroach for the next 10 hours. So and The Majors which are the larger ends will be the ones to help cut it up Just. Because its exoskeleton is a little tougher and these majors have huge heads. Full of muscle specializing in cutting[alright], and finally. [I'm] going to feed an adult cockroach to this very hungry and aggressive ant colony. Now You must remember that this adult cockroach is many times larger than the ants Instantly.
