They are all awesome and I'm grateful for their generosity. Check em out
"Cute sweet baby with its back opening up and stuff...!" 😆👍
Hi, you have a couple of interesting ants in your video, the host of your epiphite are Phillidris sp., while the red ants are a Colobopsis sp. in the C. cilindrica group also known as exploding ants, since the minor workers when threatened explode and exude a sticky substance that is smeared onto predators to repel them.
Do you have a full shot of the vivarium? Also, have you ever thought about setting up a live 24 hours camera of the vivarium for the audience to watch?
I have! Maybe in the future... and concenrning a full shot view its kinda hard since it is soooo huge!
@@nordicants6232 similar to the last shot only the more active area in the viv? if there is one or perhaps set up a few options with different cameras and areas bu that would mean $$
The vivarium is not yours it's theirs ahaha. I love how you show this microcosmo in areally cool 'raw' way
So true! Hahahah thank you so much man :D
This is not infamous ants plants it s a amazing ando wonderfull plant special with adaptations living ants this magnificets
roberto suarez nice engrish buddy
Have you ever showed a full-scale view of the vivarium on the channel? I've watched multiple episodes, yet still don't have much of an idea of how large it is.
Ya I’d like to know the specs of the size
2 meters and 70 cm, and you just like a ”yo mama joke”... its too big for the camera ;D
That was my main query.
This guys is the best! You go nordic ants! Thanks for inpiering me to create my antsPortugal channel, watching you grow as an ant dedicated channel really changed my mind about youtube
Thank you so much! Inspiring people is really something :-) sure you will as well
Nice Vivarium! Keep up the good work. I’m considering making one and making a video on it. 👍🏼
Good stuff ;)
Ay its novo ants lol
@@PrimalRenegade17 nice
Novo Ants haha nice to see you here too
You're alive!! Glad to see you're doing good man, great video as always!
Great music in opening
I think the slug is the enlarged spieces
Your Video are as better as the videos from antscanada. I could watch you the whole day! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you soso much!!! Have a fANTastic day :D
Nordic Ants you too man ✌️
I'd say they're better! NA doesn't spend 20 minutes rambling about nothing
Antscanada is cool but Nordic ants are cool too,I dunno why i like 🐜 ant
When was the last time ants Canada did a ant video
I quite liked this episode of: Can you ID this species for me?
Yes, im basically asking questions throughout the video
They look kinda like Aztec ants. Those are really cool! They usually have a really cool symbiotic relationship with cecropia trees
I love your Snug ( intermediate group of mollus s between snails and slugs...they have a partial shell, or a kind of plate under their mantle....fascinating creatures.
Snug! Never heard of that name, sounds so cool
I was so excited when I saw that you posted
Thank you sm!!
wow Nordic! Glad to see your awesome video! i bet you never get bored watching all the organismes in your vivarium!
Never! Hahaha thanks :D
You're back! Nice video. Please upload more 😃
I don’t think those are crematogaster they don’t have a heart shaped gaster but they remind me of something
Same!
Ian Horch they are
I liked the video cause of the music :D
every episode from u is amazing and i cant express how much i love those videos !
I cant express how much i love you guys for enjoying :D
Those are Azteca! The head is the giveaway.
This is the best ant channel
Wow thanks!!! :o
Thanks for the update!
You are one of my favorite channels!!!!! It’s always a treat to see you upload :)
Thank you so much!!! :D
So cool! Keep up the good work and post more videos!!!
I would love to see a return of a big ant species like the dinosaur ants or something like that they gave the ecosystem a presence of something big roaming the jungle like environment
True! They really were something...
oh man I need to turn notifications on id been checking every now and then for a new video, I love stuff dude
Thanks man! Really appreciate it
Oh meee gooodness a video!
9:56 this is beyond science
Jose E Leon u said it for me ;D
glad there will be more vids
thank you for posting
love your vids! there like mini movies!
brother i really enjoy your videos
Thank you :D
Wow! Amazing video!
Great work boiii !!!! Keep up the good work, enjoying content ✌️✌️
Superb video! Love so much about it! The life and the amount of new things to learn about is extraordinary. There’s so many epic things. I love your aspirations and I hope the community grows appropriately. This stuff should be more common.
9:55 NordicAnts.exe has stopped working. Please rest workers ants and reset pheromone trails.
*beep beep*
OK! good video as always! and by tradition I have questions: 0:50 what is it? I think that this is not crematogaster because they have not a sharp ass and completely in the fur (if they actively move and lift them - maybe crematogaster) i think this is Meranoplus I just saw a little new moss:( 1:50 strawberry? cool! 10:25 lasius umbratus! and the question is where are the termites !!??!??! white scavengers??!! I hope they will be shown in the next video. and the main question is why Now the soil looks like it is dead? It was different in the video about the dino ants, and as an option, add an carrion beetles. The main thing is homework, so good luck!
First it is some sort of cricket that Coimbra outsider the vivarium! And yes it is a species of strawberry! And yeah the subterranean squad is getting little if no covering atm which is a shame! Will try to change that :D hahah thanks for watching
AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH
5:10 Those web apparently being mites webs, no spiders webs. The leaves of schefflera plant looks like suffering by mites attack.
Nice Video it is worth to wait for those Videos
Thanksss man! :D
Your updates are always worth the wait. I could watch your vivarium for hours on end it is so fascinating, and your inhabitants all appear so healthy and active. The new ant plant is quite strange, it will be interesting to see if the two species will tolerate each other in the same plant. Thank you for taking the time to make this video update, things change so quickly in there it seems. Was that last little critter a skink of some kind? Stay well and keep happy...🖤🇨🇦
Thank you so so much! Yeah i am impatient to get to know what will eventually happend with that plant :D and yes its a skink that i really didnt know about xD
Nordic Ants Yay!!! I love skinks. I’m very intrigued by your big slug, and you are right...it most resembles the Canadian camel slug, but I don’t see how it could be. How wonderful that it bred young in the vivarium though.🖤🇨🇦
I don’t know if this is too late to get noticed, but I believe those ants are in the genus philidris. It’s the genus that most commonly inhabits myrmecodia.
Awesome video, I just cought a prenolepis imparis queen yesterday.
Winter is coming!
@@nordicants6232 haha yep
Cool video as usual, and keep it up!
Thanks man :D
clicked so fast my finger broke through my mousepad. Been waiting for new vid!
Hope the pad is ok :o hahaha thanks!!
can't help with ID but the large slug's baby's back is opening and closing around an internal shell! Looks like it has a more prominent shell as a baby than an adult but the adult may also have an internal shell there. Could be a species which is technically considered a snail with a reduced shell rather than a slug edit: yellow-shelled semi-slug, pamarion martensi?
Will have a look and thank you so much for looking! great thoughts :D
10:07 Diacamma :)
Yes! D rugosum :D
@@nordicants6232 fANTastic :D
i love how he's often so sure of what he has in his vivarium, and then other times he's got *absolutely no clue* XD
Keep uploading
Amazing!
We missed u
Missed you
Finally your back !!!!
Me encanta ver tus videos, en especial todos lo que tienen que ver con el vivario. ¡A seguir así! 💪
Gracias mi am(ore)igo! xD
@@nordicants6232 😂👏👏
Fantastic vivarium 😃😃😃😃
Thanks! :D
keep it going
Ahhhhh! Its a slug! Imma die! The cuteness! Ahhhhh!
About the idea of mapping the food web, is it to late to say that it has become so complicated that you can’t keep track of it If so, everyone can help, but only if you show the most recent footage of the terrarium per video
Im currently not with the vivarium :( but i will map it by the end of june!!
@@nordicants6232 let us know if you have any trouble
Cool vid!
I love your videos
Nice Philidris
Awesome
I’m not in the know about local localities, but it looks a lot like a Florida favorite of mine, Blue tailed skink, I know it’s not blue tailed, or 5 stripe, but very similar body shape, I’m calling it a skink, they love living in leaf litter, you should try getting a ring neck snake, they’re a challenge to keep, but would thrive in the environments you’ve created!
i actually like watching ur vids more that antscanda's keep up the good,great,fantastic,etc work looove ur vids
nice intro
Thanks! :D
Thank you. I’m now trying to keep up.
check the species on alexwild's website man pretty sure i have seen them there
Smart!!
@@nordicants6232 could you try a hand at introducing burrowing crayfish?or maybe a small mouse in the terrarium??would be interesting to see the interactions
Haha..i feel you.. The moment when u no longer know what's in your vivarium. My vivarium too suddenly have different ant species appeared out of nowhere. Seems like a queen flew in during their nuptial flight.
Love it!! :D
I walk past computer.. see Nordic Ants vid.. On the way to do a job.. think "what the hell, I'll see the start"... 10:40 later im off to do my job
4:55 looks like a stinkbug XD
I love it 👍
ich wusste ich finde jemanden den ich kenne XD
You do good vids mate ive enjoyed them, And I also feel the fake is less here than other ant channels i visit
I promess you they are not(what i know) but thank you so much for the comment! :D
I thought they were termites at first
Me too ....
Awawww :( that wouldve been awesome though
Nordic Ants true
Maybe add grasshoppers they are really important and grab some super worms
Dude, you should grow one, 1hey are so easy and fast!
Lol what?? A snake?? How?? This vivarium is just wild
Hahhaahaha yup!
So cool! Omg!!!
You did an ok cockney/Australian accent :-D
Hahahahah nevertheless it was just bad however you look at it xD thanks though!
Spot on accent
Heheheh thanks man!
I think this ant species is not a cremedogaster. Cremedogaster ants have gasters that would point upwards (Unlike many others like big headed ants and aenictus army ants). But the ones that you filmed have gasters pointing downwards. Note: My mother language is not English. If you have a Problem understanding what I said earlier, don't mind saying it. And by the way nice video. I never knew such plants existed. Krep up the good work. 👍
I don't think the music was bad.. Better than some elevator music or something.
How many gallons is it??? Also amazing videos!!!!
I think that thing is a semi-slug with the name Parmarion martensi
No worries, school first, I'll always be here
Heartwarming comment!
@@nordicants6232 thank you, much. Truly respect the unique learning approach you are experiencing, I'm sure if you could you would sit and film it 24/7 and never get to editing. There's always something going on. How do you pick what to put into your videos I have no idea. Thanks again and good luck with finals.
"Weird, weird, weird bug sitting in the crown of the tree" is a stinkbug, or called a shield bug by kids
I actually genuinely improvised throughout that part and my bug-id-mechanism is not fast. But thank you so much anyways ;) heheh
Subfamily Dolichoderinae. These are in the genus Philidris, which is an ant-plant symbiote actually. I'm not sure how you identified them as Crematogaster 🤔
9.00 These are not the ants Crematogaster sp. or maybe Philidris brunnea.
You can use matabele ants to control the termites
Ants look like iridomyrmex Cordatus
Thanks will check!
Dude i have a vivariam if you can even call it that😂😂 hey nice video! I have a little baby cuan tree frog😂🐸 nice this is soooo cool
Well thanks!! Hope your froggie is all good ;)
when are you going to do a nother update on the other vivariam
Nature everybody!
Is that a Chinese hourglass spider at 4:54
Oooo maybe!
Most likely part of Dolichoderinae
That british accent killed me 😁 😁
#metoo
How the hell did you get the ants? Myrmecodia typically are hosts to very specific species! This is amazing! 10/100,000,000 ants per person! (Thats probably a good rating? Dont mind the numbers)
your slug is from the genus parmarion
Thank you sososososmuch! Will check
Bro! That’s awesome!! 🇺🇸 I live in Shoreacres Houston Texas.Which state/country do you live in?
He live in Thailand and Sweden (this vivarium in Thailand)
Correct! Amazing :D
Nice vivarium! Not sure if this is a good idea but have you though of introducing a salamander?
Will do in my temperated vivarium! :D
