アリジゴクの捕食 Antlion Capturing Trapped Ant

[miefunyata]

雨の日には捕食できないな

[dragonnutds]

after all that and escaping from the hole, i would have let the poor thing go, i think it earned its life after 2:00 of fighting to get out.

[BlackxBledxRose]

@dragonnutds Save it then

[rladngus24]

@dragonnutds and let the poor antlion starve?

[kouteienpera]

アリを応援したくなってくるのはなぜ

[110tareme]

うちの裏で見たことがる。　

[ilovemariko1]

すごいですね！　アリジゴクが生きていくための知恵でしょうね！

[Anonomous0C]

不気味には、十分と述べた。申し訳ありませんが私の日本語はイマ­イチ。

[bybcy]

あ～、うちの近所の神社にもけっこういます。そこだけ砂のへこみ­ができてるので見つけやすいですよね。子供の頃、よくアリいれて­観察してました。

手でさわっても噛まれないんですけど、手のひらに乗せると指の間­にもぐろうとしたのを覚えてます。飼ってみてもおもしろいかもし­れませんね

[coleb002]

if the ant escaped from the hole which it did i would have let it go because it prooved that it could survive

[linkinpack777]

むごいことを

[guradyiaru]

初めて見た！

てか、蟻地獄ってまだ日本に現存しているんですか？

あなたのは自然のですか？購入したものですか？

[sigma1920]

@guradyiaru

神社の床下から採集しました。

蟻地獄を撮った映像が他にもいくつかありますので、よろしければ­私のチャンネルページから蟻地獄（antlions）のプレイリ­ストをご覧下さい。

自然環境で撮った捕食シーンもあります。

[guradyiaru]

@sigma1920

いるんだ日本に・・・

今度、神社？を探してみます！

時間がないですが・・・

[vsdgfwe]

うわ～スゲーｗ　ほんまに土が削れていくんやｗ

[zinaeeda]

詳細な説明ありがたい。

[Minamiblues]

This is so cool! b(OwO)b  I didn't know an ant lion could try to collapse the tunnel to pull its prey if it doesn't catch it the first time. 8D I love this, thanks for uploading this!

[aiontori]

すげえ！

[hondas2000ap1mania]

うわあああああすげえええ

[crmtheanimefan]

how is the antlion sucking the ant threw thae sand??

[coleb002]

it flicks sand at the ant to make it fall

[tw1stedgrudge]

For anyone asking, the thing on the opposite end of the sand is probably another ant lion, eating an ant which is already half way through. If you watch about a third-to-a-half of the way through the video, the black thing (ant) is moving literally "on its own" without any real movement from the seperate pit with the struggling ant in it. Therefore, there is a second Ant Lion.

[dualbladedroxas]

ant is stupid

[fabiyokunn]

初めてみた！ありがとう！

[hockey21k]

ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ­あああああああああああああああああああああああああああ

[winryhater]

What is that thing in the pit on the right side?

[valkyrieseven]

@winryhater

Should be a half dead / drained ant.

When ant lion finish sucking the juice out of their pray they "flick them out of the sand pit.

[iamahatecrew]

OMG

this is true cruelty...

[crazynintendoman23]

he *sniffile*...... he was a fighter...he will be remembered

[GrassyNinjaStealth]

what the hell is that thing

[AGon86]

C'mon antie, you can escape 0:20, you can do it!!! Great, now rescue your friend 2:00!!! No a*****e do not go back there2:20!!! GG AntLion3:40...4:30 AntLion wins =( The song intensifies the action

[mathia34]

what is to the right of the antlions pit in a seperate pit?

[ew284]

一度はせっかく抜け出したのにまたしてもはまった。

[Nyamc0]

Your antlion has a very strange pit-trap...

[shutoraix]

アリジゴクはウスバカゲロウ、極楽トンボの幼虫と聞きましたが、­似ても似つかない。

[kxhmw360]

なにかの幼虫とお聞きしたのですが、実際は幼虫なんですか？？

[sigma1920]

はいそうです。

ウスバカゲロウの仲間の幼虫です。

飼育がうまく行けばこの後、繭を作り、変態して成虫が羽化してく­るのだそうです。

[CWillis90]

I always wondered what a human would look like if an giant Ant lion sucked him dry. Would it be any easier for a human to crawl out of a giant ant lion pit?

[CWillis90]

There was a alien monster that hunted like this in Ememy Mine only it used a Tentacle/Tongue like that of the Sarlacc of The Great Pit of Carkoon in Star Wars and the Graboids' snake tongues in Tremors

[poker112433]

以前本か何かで蟻に返り討ちになることもあるって見た

[sigma1920]

なるほどー。虫の世界も大変みたいですね。

私が読んだ本によると、

アリは大顎で敵を噛んでからでないと蟻酸を放出しないが、アリジ­ゴクは一般にその隙を与えず毒液を注入するらしいです。実験的に­蟻酸をアリジゴクの頭部に垂らすと獲物を離すとのことです。

[AIYUTUYO]

砂かけてアリを滑らそうとしてるのか？ｗ

アリジゴクって知恵あるんだなｗ

[Winny8563]

ごめんなさい；；

既に蟻を捕らえて吸汁しています

ええ

解説見なきゃよかった・・・ｗ

[Winny8563]

右側のやつはなんだろうか・・・

[sigma1920]

アリジゴクに吸われているアリです。

解説文を読んでちょ。

[EricZombie]

Ants.

Not the brightest things in the world.

[sigma1920]

ants.

one of the most flourished terrestrial animals in the world.

some researchers says that the total biomass of ants is greater than that of human beings.

thx for watching!

[megastagbeetle]

lol the antlion is like fuck you you fucking die bitch and then he starts flicking sand lol

[h4rk4t]

ROFL!!!!!! that made my morning . thankyou sir xD

[gmonday]

poor ant

[dracovenata]

wtf is that flying ting at 1:50-2:00 lol its like a moth or sumting but ya pretty cool i like 2 catch em all the time pretty cool wut they do

[sigma1920]

u know what?

it's a tiny unidentified flying object -- strictly classified.

now that u discivered it, u will be abducted soon. lol

yeah, i'm drunk cuz it's new year's eve!

thx 4 watchin

[gloatgoat]

that ant is pretty smart

[mastela88]

whats that thing to the right?

[sigma1920]

i had two captive antlions.

the stationary one on the right was simply sucking an ant which was given before filming.

thx for watching!

[gatz705]

I think it is other ant.

[playsafe869]

woooo if u stare at the screen 4 ages it appears that the camera is zooming in very slowly, well it did 2 me

[semonoko]

なかなかオリジナリティーな動画ですね。

最近の子供たちは「蟻地獄」という言葉はしっていても

実際に蟻地獄を見たことはないでしょうね。

私はもう30年以上見ていません。

おもしろい動画ありがとうございます。

[sigma1920]

お褒め頂きまして恐縮です。

固定ウェブカメラで飼育容器を上から撮っただけなので特に独創性­はありません（冷汗

当時はその後飼育に失敗して成虫まで育てられませんでした。

今度もう一度リベンジしたいものです。

虫と触れ合った実体験の無い人が増えているのは何か非常にまずい­気が私もしています。

[LionGoddess1]

what a way to die.. :S

[0x20]

すごいなー。

捕獲方法は、混合タイプもいるのだろうけど、

罠を作って準備し、獲物を待って捕獲するタイプと

自ら獲物を捕獲しにいくタイプの生物に分けられるのでしょうね。­

[sigma1920]

アリジゴクや造網性クモは罠を作るタイプですけど、種類によって­作り方（デザイン）が色々で面白いです。罠作り行動がどのように­進化（洗練化）していったのか考えるとワクワクしますね。（本の­受け売り）

アメンボは一見ただの待ち伏せタイプですけど、水面をクモの網の­ように使っている気がします。

コメントありがとうございました。

[JingleJoe]

jesus, what the hell is everyone's problem? It's an ant, and this is how ant lions eat, pretty ineresting if you ask me ;) so quit your whining and enjoy the show. :)

[playsafe869]

[izumoiwami]

蟻地獄見つけたら蟻さがして放り込んで観察するのが小学生のたし­なみ

[rachaelx1993]

[DarkHonour]

ミュージックはそんな動画と合わせないけど雰囲気がホラー映画の­ように変わったｗ

[LeoTokyo]

What's the name of the song you used? lol

[akutti961877]

右で動いてるのはなんなのよｗ

悲しくなってくるｗ

[kirisakimaru]

よお～～～こそよお～～～こそ、ククックク、よお～やく来てくれ­たなあ私の独壇場―――蟻地獄へククク

蟻地獄観るのは何年ぶりかねえｗ

[gunsandroses3601]

[sigma1920]

i made a time-lapse vid of them digging sand pits.

[Magzone7]

What is the thing on the right? Another antlion?

[sigma1920]

[flyakiteGDI]

#+*@#&%)# !

[takapea]

アリジゴク腹立つＷＷ

[kizzelproducts]

what?????

[rampart23]

lol what is some nuclear waste mutates them and they make giant pitfalls and eat people :O

[Kadamon019]

They already did in Half Life 2 o.o

[spiderdude543]

thanks for the replys sigma! looking forward to your futuristic antlion vidios.

[spiderdude543]

If you have ever played diablo 2 the ant lions look a bit like sand maggots.Maybe they got the idea from antlions

[spiderdude543]

how are your ant lions going now? by the way, is that sugar in that boll? i plan on doing that lol!

[sigma1920]

nope, it was not a sugar bowl! lol

that was sifted dirt collected from their native pits.

i used an old tea-strainer.

[sigma1920]

after some thoughts, it might be a pretty good idea or an ideal trap.

u know, open sugar bowl attracts rows of ant for sure.

yeah, that may present an ideal hunting field for antlions. lol

and a maintenance-free setup for lazy breeders. rotfl

[spiderdude543]

How are your ant lions going now?

[sigma1920]

unfortunately, a few days after taking those vid series, they were found dead buried in the sand, RIP.

they were my first pet antlions.

so, something must have been wrong with my rearing....

i wanna see their development until the adult emerges.

[spiderdude543]

This vidio is awesome.I have sand lions in my backyard, there every were.i will have videos of them soon.

[sigma1920]

hi, thanx.

looking forward to watching ur vid!

in my wild imagination, australian wild antlions are so huge that they ambush roos in vast desert. lol

btw, glad to meet another spiderman-iac!

[kai3214]

holy ones dead u better have realeest them later on

[CaRC1n0g3n]

Antlions remind me of the Sarlaac/Great Pit of Carkoon from Star Wars =p

[IloveSPIDERZ]

We get those in the Pine Bush. I love them. They are SOOOOO awesome!

[sigma1920]

thx for the info.

i am gonna look there, too for antlions.

i've heard that some antlion species in the dune and forest(?) hunt preys without making pitfalls.

i would like to see them sometime.

can't wait summer.

[IloveSPIDERZ]

nice.

[jerumd]

Daaaaaaaam!! Just try to imagine landing on planet mars with those things the size of a car waiting underground for an ambush! That would scare the living daylights out of me if I fall into one of those pits.

[sigma1920]

ha-ha, sounds like a blockbuster sci-fi horror!

i would wanna see that.

btw, what if an antlion crawling on the ground happens to fall in the neighbouring trap? lol

(the hunter becomes the hunted?)

[jerumd]

LOL!! Well I guess was just watching too much television if ya know what I mean?? LOL!! But yea, it is true coz I once experimented by dropping a smaller one on a much bigger antlion's pit and just devoured the smaller antlion after a short brief fight. But when I put the "same size" (Match) on a sizable adversary, the battle intensifies and ended up injuring each other but they cannot kill each other. Some just retreats by backing their butts deep for an escape.

[sigma1920]

wow!!

that is very much interesting, thanks.

let's make and post a vid of the experiment!

are they immune to their own venom?

[jerumd]

Don't have a video cam just yet, but will eventually get one if financially ready. And yes they are immune to their own venom (Digestive Acids). But if holding on for too long on each other, there is a chance that one of them might die from a fight coz, they only eat from the tips of their fangs. The venom starts digesting once holding on from the tip of their fangs then sucks the prey dry. So basically they have two mouths on the tip of their fangs.

[sigma1920]

that makes sense.

thanks for informative feedbacks.

[donnysworld420]

antlion=) WOOOOT!

[AllSystemsGo314]

Imagine the struggle for the little ant only winding up in the jaws of the mean antlion!

I sneer at survival of the fittest!

[Petersaberros]

lol, ant go our of range, but dummy get back and ended

[HOLYHAMSTERITSMEEEEE]

lol the ant was all like, "ohhh, i will dump on you and hope you die."

[Xpliter]

come here little bitch ant! im HUNGGRY

[halosniper4]

lol

[jhineno]

蟻地獄の飼育ケース自体が罠。

この蟻さんはお外なら逃げられたはず。

そう考えると、蟻地獄って狩りが下手ですね。

あそこまで追い詰めておきながら逃げられるなんて・・・・

[dragonheadthing]

Nice video! I spent many days as a kid feeding ants to these in the backyard. :)

[troymantis]

ive always wanted to see an antlion in action! all ive seen are empty pits and the adult creatures.

thanks.

[qumquat13]

nice I only heard of antlions from half life 2 lolz but yeah they look really cool

[dafinest02]

haha thats cool

[EvanOwnzPh00lz]

Can you explain what an antlion is?

[sigma1920]

thx for watching.

have you never seen antlions around your house?

antlion is the larval stage insect of the family Myrmeleontidae.

its adult looks like a dragonfly.

to see what it looks like out of the sand, check it out the related vid of mine "antlions walk backward only".

you may also enjoy the vid series of "andy's antlion hunt" here in youtube. (absolutely nice edutainment!)

for more detailed info, try wikipedia.

[IceTeaEdwin]

nice combination of music!

[sigma1920]

thanks for watching.

the music was a random choice in the audioswap at testtube.

check it out the link "show audio info" below the player window.
