I live in TN is there still a chance of finding a queen still? Its starting to get cold...I know their more easy to find during the spring and summer.
WELL YOU SHOULDVE DID THIS>>>>> IF YOU FIND ONE OF THESE...... FEED IT TO YOUR PET SPIDER OR A SPIDER WEB THAT A SPIDER LIVES In :D lets see what happens to her body :3
Today is the 26th of July and I captured a queen when it still had its wings and i put it in a jar and it has started digging a hole already to start a colony, if you want to start an ant colony then make sure tgat you;
Feed them with sugar, syrup or honey
Give them water every day and keep the soil moist or they will die overnight
Care for them and add soil if you need to and give them leaves or bits of bark to make their environment more suitable
@theslothfulone i found a queen fire ant in my house when i was on my computer yesterday loli gave it a big cheeto and it doesnt eat it i gave it sugar it still doesnt eat it and by the way i have it in my ipod case
@interVention559 they do have energy stores in their abdomens so you may not be able to fedd it until it has started laying eggs and needs energy to keep producing them however this is just a guess as I don't really know much about fire ant's, but I expect it's probably pissed off that it doesn't have anywhere to properly burrow. however it will eventually lay eggs regardless of where you keep it, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with keeping it in a see-through container, after all...
@interVention559 ...people have done it before but when it DOES start laying eggs I would suggest putting it in a larger container, if you want more info. on fire ants then I would suggest looking it up but I hope what I've just said will help you.
from far she looks like a cockoroach. poor thing, having to give birth constantly. im going to make an ant farm but im not so sure about getting the queen(i feel bad about taking her away from where she should be, underground or hiding)....hmm..idk..any suggestions as to how to start my ant farm?
i wanna find 2 different queens and make battles after 3 months, and then get like 10 fire ant soldiers, they'll be like spartans in there! yeah that would be cool
Had a mad idea when reading Bernard Werber's Empire of the Ants yesterday. Can someone with an intelligent, experienced mind tell me if i can actually keep an ant colony in a well sealed, properly ventilated fishtank? Told you it was a mad idea. Can i keep at least a small colony? Thanks. I'm from Scotland BTW.
Dude im going to go on a hunt for the queen ant and Im going fucking kill it! I hate ants, they have no purpose on earth. The only insect that I still hate but don't mind theyre existence are bees, because they help pollinate shit.
@HOLLYWOODBOY818 No purpose on earth? You sir are wrong. They are natures garbage men. They clean up dead insects and animals. Every insect (even the most annoying) have a purpose on earth.
lol i was playing basketball 1 hr ago and on the wall after destroying an ant farm a queen poped out lol i knew it was a queen so i put it in a bag and brought it home.
it trying to find a proper nest right now. but i keeps switching betwean them.
this guy gives info i say just pray to god that at any moment an ant queen will pop out. or just destroy a nest and waith for 20 mins. i got bit probably 30 times doing this
@oliver2555 Not at all. They mate once with one partner and they have enough sperm for the rest of their lifes and the oldest ant in capture was 31 years old (Lasius Niger, The black garden ant).
@Lkonae catching a "princess" still flying makes it a one in a million chance that you caught one that has mated but didnt realize/landed. On the other hand, picking up an already landed queen that shed one or two of her wings, you will have only one out of a hundred or a thousand that was not fertilized. Among them, though, some have other problems and will die, their nuptial flight too stressful, weak etc. In short: take one from the ground, after shedding her wings.
@bugsd4 actually I don't know, whether they try. these are like 9 mm and their mandibles (the jaw) are so small that they can't make you feel their bite. you skin is so thick in comparison, it is like trying to carve an escape tunnel into rock with a banana. be careful though, since some ants may even sting or emit acid which can well irritate the skin or provoke allergic response, swelling, pain, etc. but these in the picture not so much.
@bugsd4 I've never had a new queen bite me. They are usually too timid. Common black ants DO bite, but aren't very painful. Larger ants however pack a larger punch.
@OverKillers666 the workers can live without a queen, yes, but it is different. and they will just die without new workers coming. it is like a body without a head.
@AMDEATH45 depends. if you do it all right (which is, right season, right species, right time), you can see the first small eggs within 24-48 hours. set them free when in doubt, since there might be queens that don't found on their own ("claustral"). they will not be happy with you, they need to find another ant nest to infiltrate.
@NuptialFlight i would say aproximately 3 days ago the swarm of young queens happened i caught around 5 and stupidly put them in the same area (a clear plastic box filled with damp dirt about 8 cm deep ) the queens ended up having a fight to the death now there is one queen left and she has already laid a few eggs yesterday i also put in aprox 3 ant workers the species is lasius niger any tips on what to feed etc
@garsole2 i checked on the queen today and i cannot find her i think she might have dug underground and started laying eggs but i am not sure,however two of the workers have disapered but some of them pop up from underground i think that they have been with the queen but i am not sure as i cannot see under the dirt i put in it ,the colony i had in another clear box died i think it is because the queen was not laying eggs and the workers died out.
neh I'm planning on making my own ant farm..and I'm having a hard time finding a queen in the garden since they're mostly in the cracks of cement..but if i put a non mated female in an already filled ant farm,will it become fertilized and be the queen?
@yachiru0peanut No, she would never mate they must mate with a male with wings and by the time you catch one they might have died out. But I dont think they will mate under NONFREEDOM condition cause they might be too uncomfortable.
Hey I'm starting in the ant area . I found 2 queens a week ago but they never lay eggs. I live in Alabama and fall is just starting there are a lot of carpenter ants here but they take so long to become A big colony. Do you no any tipe of ants around here.
How would I go about catching an ant queen? I live in southern Ontario, it's early August, and I'm pretty sure its Carpenter ants that I'm seeing around, if that helps. As well, I've seen your other videos, and it occured to me that I don't have access to test tubes. Anything else you could recommend? One last thing: do you have the precise measurements and ingredients for making gypsum plaster? I tried to "ballpark it", and it was a disaster.
lol i got simple way just throw a water melon out w8 a while and come out with bug vacuum no harm done and they coem in full so u dont provide dinner for that day =)
o god are queen ants like 2 or 3 times the regular size of ants? I think i stepped on one outside... It was a black ant (not being racist just giving details)
lol just making sure bcuz this chinese girl was saying something in chinese and she said "nigga" or something and this girl next to her got offended. o.0
omg yay! i thought i saw a queen ant with a big ass(or rump) but then thought it was like a large soldier or something D=
Can ants have wings? Like i saw a ant with wings and i smacked it down(thought it was a misquito) and broke off a wing... T-T
yes they have wingswhen they are in condition to lay eggs they will rip there wings off but look in the street like this vid says and im positive you will find one
Do queen ants walk on streets and alleys? My alley way is pretty big and Im hoping to find one there before i start collecting those small ants. I have a lot of them in my garden
where i live (texas)they have streets damn near everywhere so check the street but otherwise check anywhere on the ground where its humid and also hurry and get ur queens cuz the nuptial flight is almost over
Hello there awesomw videos :). To find an ant queen
1 dig around a nest and then put the whole nest in a container of plastic that doesn't let the ants get out (or siply a container with a top)
2 If you have dead flowers, dont forget to check in the dirt inside the flower pot.Thats how i found 7 queens today
3 if you are too lazy to dig, w8 for the nuptial flight months (July-August) and w8 to see a winged female getting impregnated or look under wood logs or big stones in your garden
There were 7-8 queens in that nest. Unbelievable but true. I captured 5 of them and the rest 3 are now in my antworks aquarium.They have laid plenty of eggs but they dont dig too much...
when you start with ants, you want some and you want them now, I get it. if you just want to watch them, get some workers and keep them at home. that doesnt hurt the nest so much. digging around is really ruining the day for those ants, just imagine how they took years to get there when you destroy this in a matter of minutes. picking up a queen in nuptial flight is the coolest way to start the hobby, my opinion!
I agree that its better to do it this way from a moral point of view, but its extremely difficult i think. I tried to do that, i found like 20 males but no females, what are the odds of finding a queen before she digs in the ground?
im back from my trip! she is stil alive, it does look as nothing happend in the week i was gone. at the place where i was i also saw ant queens running around XD
sigh... ive looked everywhere for a queen ant and cant find one.. I've dug up ant holes, but i always loose the hole when i dig... i want the queen so bad...
if she has a big bottom and already laid eggs she is probably founding claustral. You can leave her alone for weeks now and she will probably be fine.
I think the colony's are intresting. I want to get sugar ant's. NOT FIRE ANT'S!!! HELP

Are you sure that they are queens and not males or unfertilized queens?

Males are very slim and leggy. The females do not lose there wings until they have been fertilized and ready to lay eggs

How would I go about catching an ant queen? I live in southern Ontario, it's early August, and I'm pretty sure its Carpenter ants that I'm seeing around, if that helps. As well, I've seen your other videos, and it occured to me that I don't have access to test tubes. Anything else you could recommend? One last thing: do you have the precise measurements and ingredients for making gypsum plaster? I tried to "ballpark it", and it was a disaster.
Thanks! :D

Carpenter ant queens are huge. But they dont make the best pet ants as it can take a carpenter ant colony 14 years to reach full size.

o god are queen ants like 2 or 3 times the regular size of ants? I think i stepped on one outside... It was a black ant (not being racist just giving details)

lol just making sure bcuz this chinese girl was saying something in chinese and she said "nigga" or something and this girl next to her got offended. o.0
omg yay! i thought i saw a queen ant with a big ass(or rump) but then thought it was like a large soldier or something D=
Can ants have wings? Like i saw a ant with wings and i smacked it down(thought it was a misquito) and broke off a wing... T-T
jasonthemage 2 years ago
yes they have wingswhen they are in condition to lay eggs they will rip there wings off but look in the street like this vid says and im positive you will find one
look for it on a hot humid day around
1 o' clock

Do queen ants walk on streets and alleys? My alley way is pretty big and Im hoping to find one there before i start collecting those small ants. I have a lot of them in my garden
jasonthemage 2 years ago
where i live (texas)they have streets damn near everywhere so check the street but otherwise check anywhere on the ground where its humid and also hurry and get ur queens cuz the nuptial flight is almost over

Hello there awesomw videos :). To find an ant queen
1 dig around a nest and then put the whole nest in a container of plastic that doesn't let the ants get out (or siply a container with a top)
2 If you have dead flowers, dont forget to check in the dirt inside the flower pot.Thats how i found 7 queens today
3 if you are too lazy to dig, w8 for the nuptial flight months (July-August) and w8 to see a winged female getting impregnated or look under wood logs or big stones in your garden

NEVER DIG OUT AN ANT NEST!
this is Terrible .
And the Chance to catch the Queen is so low ! You can even kill her.
Think of the nestless ants that you leave behind.
Theyre dying slowly.
PLS reimagine that.

There were 7-8 queens in that nest. Unbelievable but true. I captured 5 of them and the rest 3 are now in my antworks aquarium.They have laid plenty of eggs but they dont dig too much...
Georgedegriek 2 years ago
when you start with ants, you want some and you want them now, I get it. if you just want to watch them, get some workers and keep them at home. that doesnt hurt the nest so much. digging around is really ruining the day for those ants, just imagine how they took years to get there when you destroy this in a matter of minutes. picking up a queen in nuptial flight is the coolest way to start the hobby, my opinion!

I agree that its better to do it this way from a moral point of view, but its extremely difficult i think. I tried to do that, i found like 20 males but no females, what are the odds of finding a queen before she digs in the ground?

Jezus dude there like 1.000.000.000.000.000.000 ants!!!

over a week im on a trip for a week, can i leave my ant queen alone for a week? (i think its possiblle but for sure i wantr to know)
ceddio 2 years ago
if she has a big bottom and already laid eggs she is probably founding claustral. You can leave her alone for weeks now and she will probably be fine.

my queen ant is a Lasius Niger. she already laid eggs on the second day and she is protecting them now in her own room
ceddio 2 years ago
can you catch a queen ant and add it to a bunch of ants you have already caught?
Puffinyat 2 years ago
this might work or not. depends on many things. for Lasis flavus I have a video - see at the right side under "Lasius flavus queen affiliation"
