A good name for the colony could be the "Infinite Empire"
THIS!!!!!!!! This right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🐜
Yeah!
Maybe the "Infinity Empire"
Yeah!!!
OK this name might be good or bad
Me doest even know a single species of ants Antscanada: can you determine the species of that ants Me:Ants
I thought it was fire ants
same XD
"ah yes, the red colored ants, the orange colored ants, the slighty bigger orange ants, the dark colored ants, the slightly bigger dark ants, the other big dark ants with long jaws, and the very small ants, I know my stuff, totally"
ant be ant
@@No-vn7vc ._.
The guy who just took the colony just gave the other colonies in that area a great relief. A great event happened their ant history books. Bro imagine being in a colony who's enemy is a colony with literal mass of an empire having more than a hundred queens laying eggs and then suddenly some giant takes it away.
Beneath the soil, where shadows creep, In the quiet of night, when all is asleep, The ants gather 'round, in solemn grace, To utter their prayer in this sacred space. "O mighty humans, guardians dear, In realms unseen, you did appear. With kindness vast, you took our plight, Guiding us through the veils of night. Blessed be the hands that saved our kin, From foes that sought to do us in. In your shadow, we find our solace, Protected from dangers that once did menace. Grant us strength as we toil each day, In our humble tunnels, we find our way. May your wisdom guide our paths, Shielding us from nature's wraths. For you, we offer our humble song, In reverence deep, where we belong. O mighty humans, in realms afar, Watch over us beneath the star. As night descends and shadows fall, We rest assured, your love does call. Keep us safe in your embrace, Until the dawn, with gentle grace." In quiet whispers, their prayer ascends, To realms beyond, where love transcends. And as they rest in the earth's embrace, They find comfort in the humans' grace.
"The native resistance" is a good name for that colony because it will help the the native ants and its great resistance against the invasive ants
How about naming them "Royal Guards" since they have so many Queens and they will also help you protect the ant house. edit: Why does everyone think "Royal Guards" is a reference???
Also they would be guarding his property from invaders
Hxh?
Sounds cool, made me think of The Gerudos'
Love this idea
@@ShadowDragon-zb1wc The new any house has a lot of invasive ant species nearby and these native ants will help in fighting against the invasive ants.
AC Family, thank you for watching! I can’t believe this supercolony! So what should we do with them? VOTE by hitting LIKE in the Replies BELOW:
Hit *LIKE* if you vote: Let them go at the Ant House this week! You shouldn’t take in new ant colonies especially if you are moving soon!
Hit *LIKE* if you vote: Let most of them go (the ants that moved into the larger test tube) at the Ant House this week, but keep the ants living in the smaller test tube.
Hit *LIKE* if you vote: Keep them forever and just release alates during nuptial flight at the Ant House! See comments for my name suggestion!
Hit *LIKE* if you vote: Keep them for awhile, and release them later when they're larger! I wanna see what this supercolony is like. See comments for housing suggestion!
Hi like to vote *JOHN CENA!*
Underneath a park near my old house, I saw what I now believe to be a ant super colony. I remember them climbing up to my (4 floor up) home and getting food. Another example was when me and my friend lifted a brick around 7 years ago and saw hundreds of ants and even some larger ones, witch I now believe to be multiple queens.
Ehh probably not big doesn’t mean supercolony most ant colonies have 1000s of ants
So I think that we should keep them, it will be interesting to see how much a 100 queen polygyny will grow. Their set-up could be alot of tunnels and alot of big containers, so they can grow and grow. Also their name should be: The Colossal Polygynies/Polygyny
Title: 100+ queens Me: it’s over, the ants have won.
Yes
i am like 100+ queens i am like ammmmmmm soo many queens n wtf
I like turtle's
and 100+ likes :O
We’re done for comrade, tell my mother and family goodbye..
it can be called, “The Solar Eclipses” since it comes and goes in a lifetime. and it’s also black and big so yeah
*yes*
You know whats also black and big?

Wow you know what thats pretty good

200+ queens ? Are these easily invasive ? They most be a force of nature :o
They are natime
ok
Release them to the Antopia if they're native ants
I think "The resistance" suits well to the purpose of the colony
O U I
Haha
Mycylium resistance?
@@elishafichtenberg7742 It was Mumbo
@@elishafichtenberg7742 finally a man of culture
Name suggestion, they could be "The Cavalry" since they will be driving out the invasive ants, they are like reinforcements in the battle
Yeah you're right
thats actually a good name!
The Winged Hussars!
all good names and i instantly knew what he was going to do with them as soon as i clicked on this vid
Keep them for awhile and then let them go
I vote.... KEEP THE ANT COLONY! and release the plates when they start having nuptial flights!
It means the ants tolerates more than one Queen
I imagine waking up as a new worker ant is like when you sleep for 12 hours, wake up and have no idea what time it is and are a bit disoriented but you know you have to go to work
Worker Ants are humans confirmed
I think Ants have little naps during the day
And you wake up to about 1000 ants in your face

when you move in youre house, you should have a outdoor feeding table that you put food on every morning to see the wild ants.
But, they might kill the colonies
That could get so out of control or be so cool

The good name for the good aunt colony, infinite ants colony
Imagine being a random ant just out and about and coming back to find your whole colony is gone
"Its so cool how they automatically know what to do!" Or, they have 100 screaming siblings all shouting what to do, as soon as they awake. lol
True lol
Underated comment tho :
Like a boot camp ahahaha! ON YOUR FEET MOVE THAT STICK MOVE THAT STICK! RUN RUN RUN!
ON UR FEET SOLDIER WE GOTT A ROACH TO EAT
NOICE
I think a good name for these ants would be either “The Nanobots” (due to their tiny size), or “The Royals” (due to the multiple queens).
Yesss! Like and reply on this comment for the algorithm!
Hahaha the queen of england and her royal guards
The nanobots makes them sound futuristic, I like it!
Nano ants
YASS I LOVE THE NANOBOTS
3 years late but what i would do is house them and release future queens over the years to make sure they have a better opportunity to thrive in the wild
AC: I'll give them some food to help the move. Ants: ALL PRAISE THE ANT GOD!!
😂😂😂

Ants canada: aren't they gorgeous Me: yes yes they are
Hey! I know this was two years ago but you have inspired me to help out wild ants in my area! When i was little i had a old plastic fish tank- i put dirt moss and drift wood in it! I put it out into the wild and put a few blueberries in it- as well as apple pieces! A year later ants went inside by themselves and even formed tunnles underneath it! I was sad because my mom wanted me to move it but I didn’t have the heart to do it- so when i did i saw so many ants in the tunnels and even some eggs! They safely moved the eggs and themselves in the tunnels- im so happy though that the ant colony lived for a good five years before disappearing! You inspire me so much! Thank you.
Let's call them "The Centum Knights" Centum is Latin and means one hundred So it's like thousand of knights serving 100 queens
great idea!
this need more votes. bring out the fake ballots :)
Like unas annus means 1 year in latin
why not centum equites then
@@FullMetalMachine That would fit too of cours :)

omg! finally, i got a heart from the creator of worlds itself thank you ANTSCANADA!!!
Yes
Is it possible to have a hybrid hive? An enclosed setup that has its hunting grounds in the outdoors. They can be watched, semi protected and partially fes while doing some hunting outdoors and allowing the new queens to fly out.
‘Hey guys I’m a new pupi ant and my exoskeleton is just hardening-‘ *casually gets trampled on by thousands of ants*

Watch the damn videos and learn to like ants. Now that you're here you're not going anywhere bud😂 this channels too good.
he's so happy. I love it too but im not big on antkeeping.
keep the ants and name them solar leaders
when you put the roach in the ants swarmed the roach because you placed it on the brood [The baby/young ants], the ants were protecting the brood from the still moving roach
The real question is: How the heck did his friend transferred all the ants from a BIG RICE BAG into a small Tupperware...
With hard work and dedication
Dark Magics

witchcraft obviously lol
IK Lol
"the resistance" PLZ
Good name
3:40 Consider naming it the united kingdom of the pheidoles
Man studying ants like there’s a test on it Friday
I think you should keep Them till nocturnal flights. Here you should catch the Queens to start a new colony, and then release this massive one into the Wild.
That would be sick!
This right here. This needs to happen
i think that too
I also think you should keep them and only release the winged Queens when they're ready to fly.
That moment when u wish u were an ant so u can automatically know what u r supposed to do when ur mature
Felt
That is me but the opposite
Meh but they only live for 2-12 months depending on the species
Keep them and let go the queens elyts (sorry for miss spelling a word or two)
Keep it for like 10 years or More PLSS i really like to see that huge colony on your channel
Polymorphism in ants: The workers of the colony have different sizes. Some are small and some are big workers with large heads.

What if the Ant Colony was named “The Eternals”?
Nah someone's idea is better
And they have a doom guy shrine?

Yeah i like it
@@reaper15783 I think it should be called the Hades Dynasty.
Keep them pls there adorable
I would love to see this colony grown to a massive size, over time you could split the colony off and attempt to release part of it to the natural environment.
i say let them grow then keep them as a secret weapon if the invasive ants get too strong
At certain point, ants do protect the greenies but I'm not sure if reptile would.fit in at certain point! so on the end of story, you might need dogs to woo away certain dangerous reptiles!
That is a good idea
69 likes Edit:nvm someone unliked
I thought of that too!!! Wouldn’t that be a shock for the fire ants to suddenly have millions of ants against them!
@LCFGAMING I was asking the same thing😭
You will need a whole house when this colony reaches the peak.
He's already building a full size house for ants
He will prob need 2 to 3 terrariam
@@reclusiarchgrimaldus1269 it was a joke :)
@@pa9030 I'm being serious, he's actually building an ant house
It's a supercolony. There is no true peak. This colony can grow indefinetly.
It's been years but I think this colony should be named New Pheidolphia. Thank you.
Ants are truly the best my favorites are marauder ants❤
Personally I think you should keep them for a year or two, make them absolutely huge, like tens of millions of ants while releasing the elates before you set them free. Set up a bunch of artificial homes for them in the area, so they will likely move in to those easy nests, which means you can help the environment and if they keep in the area and go in the premade houses, you can still observe them.
Ahh thats a good idea
But won't it just demolish its neighboring ant colonies????
@@silentninja8944 yep. Basically they are doing the opposite of helping the environment. They are destroying the local ecosystem.
I like this idea!
@@lettussy this is to help remove invasive species, understandably though you may not want them too big

hey ants Canada, when you move in your new house you should have a ant colony that is all around youre house, connecting through tubes attached to the ceiling, with various stop points where you can veiw them.
polymorphism in ants means that the species has different sizes of workers from small minors to huge majors and then the massive supermajors
I support the idea of keeping them, and Releasing them back to continue their species in the wild
Call them The Big Brains and give them a space ship, alien homeworld, or computer style home
Good idea
Nah,give 'em a small replica of Markiplier's studio
BIG BRAINNN
Pfft
Yes
To be honest I actually like the idea on releasing the ant colony next to the ant house. The invasive ant are no match for the super majors
Hold onto it for a whole whole year
Ants are pretty cool to own, I mean. Who doesn’t want an army of insects that grows to demolish any bug that you see?
Keep them You can put them in your designed antscanada logo
never thought i'd watch so many ant videos but your passion makes it interesting af
Yes he do have a full of passion! But to put it on webs, this is one out of a billion web page where I could understood if not nearly but all of it stories and understand why certain ant lived the way it lived!
Same
@not a bunch of kids in a trench looks like it
Wow more than 100 queens
Option C, to only let the flying Queens get out, sounds like the best choice. That way you can send out more troops against the invasive ants, as each season you can repeat the draft. Plus the ants get to say 'Ohno my Queen' when they fly out.
AC: There is a bunch of invasive ant colonies around my house... AC's friend: I got you
I got you fam
Yeah
That colony is an invasive species
They could be named "The Eternal Empire" since they have countless number of ants and also you could address their soldiers as the "The Eternal Fleet" since there will be so many.
I like that name ;)
Thats a good name!
Thanks! :D
cool name
Nice
3 years ago i started watching ant channel but i stopped watching slowly. now im slowly coming back to this channel for nostalgia, glad the channels still running well :)
Your pretty lucky to get such a big ant colony with so many queens just because someone cut down a tree can you make them meet each other and see if they’re hostile or not
Too late but I'd call them The Queens' Legion
Ac question: Polymorhpism is the difference in shape and size of worker ants in an ant colony.
U just watched a before video didn't you
Wrong
Actually it's the type of poo which is produced
Get it right

I am not even an ant enthusiast. I just like watching
Keep em till the house is built. that way they can’t intrude on the build and so the workers don’t start killing them
Nice profile pic
Yes Anddddd You know ddlc
"The immortals" from the persian army tgat had 1000 soldiers always so a hundred queens

It's actually 10,000 Immortals always
One day, there was a ant nest in my garden and I would always put sugar next to nest. After a few months, we did repair work in the garden and the ants all disappeared :(
i think we should keep them
I have a suggestion for the new ant house: Maybe add twisty see through pipes for visitors or guests to see the amazing ants.
Name it the "Anternal Union" Yes this is a attempt of a pun about eternal union.
Ac you are amazing and i want to start looking after ants like you and again you are just amazing
Polymorphism is when ants like your favorite marauder ants come in all shapes and sizes

@@raptorfae.6645 Yup tahst true . Still miss them tho
With the large amount of queens i feel this colony needs a name somehow related to Game of Thrones. Nothing specific comes to mind though.
