Quality content!
been watching a couple of this guys vids, (no idea why tbh ), he is almost âannoyinglyâ enthusiastic about ants/his narration lol, but still some neat or half-interesting stuff here and there
saw this and recalled our resident Mr Ant-man @hivefleetbothan talk about escaping ants(or something), and thought this was some pretty neat ânatural remedyâ/interaction he decided to think of, even if maybe not as âpracticalâ during ant study/âscience handling purposesâ
Thanks for the call out!
No such thingâŠ
There are way more interesting ant-termite interactions⊠But, the termites have the more interesting sides to this conflictâŠ
These termites have ballistic snot they shoot to entangle ants (and ant-eaters).
Now as to the spider v ant thing⊠Fire ants figure out how to escape all the time. it is mainly because they are so annoyingly aggressive for space. I just finished preparing my masterâs work, and I got a little scared that somebody else might be doing my stuff! Luckily it didnât seem to be the same project. Bullet dodged, especially 3 days away from my defense! It is well documented that ants (and insects in general) are strongly reactive to spider webbing, you can do this just about anywhere and bugs tend to avoid those areas.
Also, I am unsure why the filmer would try to use live web building spiders⊠Especially if they had a giant source of webbing nearby. Fire ants (for those interested) tend to be hyper aggressive towards stuff (especially if this is a nest that was harvested from nature instead of being hand reared) and they view most invertebrates as food not friends (or predators).
The last year heâs just been kinda absent to make his book. I know, seems pretty outta left field but i donât blame the guy. Him making generally disturbing or off putting animations for Youtube and Other TV stations for over a decade. Yeah, heâd probably wanna do something different.
BUT. He did actually make a new bowel wrenching video, that i suggest donât watching unless you donât have anything against innards?!?
I know GameGrumps is essentially a Letâs Play channel, but, like I mentioned in another thread, I especially love their weekly 10 Minute Power Hour. Theyâre pretty wacky, and not for everyone, but I love these guys goofing around on camera, and maybe somebody else here does as well. I linked a recent episode I found particularly funny.
Also, thereâs this channel called Potential History I can recommend to anyone interested in memes, tanks and WW2. Granted, some videos are influenced by World of Tanks, but I donât play the game at all (War Thunder is better. Fight me. ) and still find all of his videos both interesting and kinda funny.
very informative, itâs like i went to kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, college, and university, all in 2 min
I lost it as âthis is a Jackie Chanâ omg
This channel is amazing. The patience involved⊠I canât even.
Although I suppose it is somewhat game-relatedâŠ
I have been summoned. If you want an excellent book about army ants, there is a really good summary of everything science knows about it (written in 1995 by William H. Gotwald Jr.) which I highly recommend.: Army ants: the biology of social predation.
Bridge-making is cool, but you know whatâs cooler? Psychedelic brainwashing.
Apologies for the cheesy effects.
why are you just relying on your antennae when you have âtwoâ eyes right there, -thatâs clearly an imposter, just look at her dagnabbit!!
⊠tsk, silly evolution
-i do find it sorta amusing ants/bees âjustâ deciding to become/replace a queen,
would sorta think the ruler would have measures in place against such insurrection to be able to occur in her mere petty âpeasantsâ/drones, and only allow her chosen royal bloodline to be pure
âGuards, off with her head!!!â
As cute as this is, Pigeon Pop is a rip-off of Kekeflipâs work.
I have shared KĂ©kĂ©âs work with you guys before and I love it.
Iâm absolutely disgusted by that game.
