Army Ants and Biodiversity - UN mission in Thailand's untamed jungle! (overwhelming ant-experience)
One of the few non "vivariumistic" uploads, but don't worry as we will soon see a vivarium update approximately next week! This video is about ants and their importance in the Thai jungle, especially the ants of the genus Carebara(asian army ants)!
I have been given the privilege to come aboard a UNDP supervised mission into Western forest complex wildlife sanctuary. Authorizing me to delve into jungle that very few people get to see. Given that no tourists or other civilians are allowed to enter this intact forest it was gorged with wildlife. Given that I am such an entomology nerd I just couldn’t resist filming some of it for you. Come along as I not only showcase the evolutionary masterpieces such as ants, beetles and much more but also what a UNDP field mission could look like!
This video concerns the cutting-edge strategy of BIO-FINANCE applied in a wildlife sanctuary of west-Thailand whereby a group of experts examine and questions the park and its facilities to make them more self sustainable and efficient so that they can generate money coherently as the protection and biodiversity of the park increases.
Stay tuned for the next weeks vivarium update and have a fANTastic day,
Nordic Ants :D

Antlions are not moths but Myrmeleontidae (nevroptera) larvae
That is a mothlike butterfly no? :o
They are not related to moth ( lepidoptera ) :)
Google "antlion adult"
Unfortunately no. :( “The insect order Neuroptera, or net-winged insects, includes the lacewings, mantidflies, antlions, and their relatives.”
Nice video keep it up!
Great video 😊!
love yor Videos
Once again showing up ants Canada. I don’t think antsC has ever even gone outside.
oh vivarium pls my boi...
IT IS! this was just some work video i had to do! next week :D
ok i was just so happy when you upload the vid and i was like this has to be about the vivarium
you can live in the vivarium myrmicaria brunnea. they build tunnels to the source of food (like termites) and they caring aphids and beetles Coriade
I like this type of video :)
arguably those last shots of animals eating "elates" were actually animals eating moths
It was moths! But they were also eating aeletes :-)
That was a very interesting mating scene. Before and after
Ur back
FINALLY bACK:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
When are you going to post
5:06 whats the song
I would like to sell some tetrimorium queens I caught a few days ago and I don't know how or where to sell them
Im going to put termites in a vivarium i made... Something i need to know about termites in vivariums???
Add wet wood inside! They eat old veggies and fruits too
Thank you
I sure hope you caught at least one of those carebara queens lol
ofc! :D
Nordic Ants lol cool
Do weekly or at the very least bi-weekly uploads !!!!!!! I prefer this over antscanada

Gasp!!!!!! Of superness that there a Nordic vid BooYaaaaaa!!!!
Y u no upload xD
Now!!!
This morning there was a guy at my house spraying for spiders and I had my window open in my ant room because no one fucking told me so now about 100 to 150 dollars of ant colonies are probably going to die
:(
Those look like pheidole or big headed ants
They were called pheidologeton before! :D
Nordic Ants Oh ok
Nordic Ants Wait are you talking about carabara diversa
Hopefully u caught a Queen 👸 ant
19th
What kind of ants is this? 9:49
some big crematogaster species!
Nooooo I just dropped from 100 subscribers to 99 😵
Awn :(
Ant love forever Nordic 🙏🏻
Ant Nation Make that 102
First to like and comment
In my opinion, the species you took for army ants belongs to the Pheidologeton genus. These ants are known for conducting massive and impressive hunting raids, but are not nomadic. Thus, they can not be consider as army ants (when the species belonging to the Dorylus genus are).
Cyrille Fougere i know! They are now classed as carebara, but they are known as asian army ants :D army ant for me applies for ”shreddage” of the forest floor! But yeah..
"Do you think the UN is necessary?" No, what is the point of the UN if countries don't have to listen to it...The UN can vote on whatever it likes but until countries have to follow that vote it's a waste of time.
Ohhh a countering comment!
All elected members are elected by the countries though? And there is alot of diplomacy but that is must in order to make every countries word heard which once again is a must if we have to make global decisions on a bigger scale and go forward on a global scale. No country is stopped from going forward even further, but the un is like a big pushing net that drags all countries towards equal goals slowly but surely. Dont you think its nessesary that all countries rally for plastic waste and CC?
But the UN have not teeth, they can vote for something year in year out for 20 years but still doesn't get done. Take Cuba for example for around 20 years the UN have been voting to end the US embargo against Cuba and every year the US ignore it. Last year the vote was 191-2 so 191 countries voted to end it while Israel (shocker) and the US voted to keep it and has anything changed? Yes, the US are treating Cuba even worse now! My point is what is the point of having an elected body that can't do anything? They can tell someone to do something until they are blue in the face but they don't have to listen. I agree about plastics and CC, I want to see something done about that, I really do but I don't think the UN can do anything.
UN is not helping the people in syria, iraq, lebanon etc. They are not good, but some parts of the united nation like WHO are good.
That i do agree on! :D environmental issues then?
Nordic Ants yeah it is helpful for the environmental issues. Btw thnx for replying
One of my teachers had a book about assassin bugs and gave it to me thinking it was about ants because there was a pile of dead ants on the cover that the assassin bug has killed. Then I had to explain that the ants were dead and that it was about assassin bugs and not ants
Cool teacher!
Yea he was great but sadly I'm in the 9th grade now and I don't have him anymore 🙁. Great video by the way
