Over here in new mexico, we have these black ants with yellow/orange abdomens, and these guys are TANKS. One time, i stomped on one, and that lil thing could still move. They also have bad stingers, and i got stung by one before. Lemme tell you it does NOT feel good. They can also be red in color, and they just walk around in our garden. They pick up anything they can find, and we used to have a giant colony of these suckers in our aunti's backyard. I would go up to their colonies, and flood them with water, however, their colonies stayed up. Ever since 2023, that colony has either left or died out. They can be pesky, but are very cool and wonderful ants in coloring, and how silly they can be.

It's always incredibly impressive to see the extreme dependencies evolution enables. These kidnapper ants can't survive without the help of other species, just as some orchids depend on a single flying insect species for reproduction. Such extreme adaptation to tiny niches is certainly very delicate and requires a lot of evolutionary work (other colonies are usually fought off rather than welcomed into the nest, but evolution gives everyone a chance.

Why ants are so fond of liquidcoming out of. of other insects Ants gain sweet/nutrition, but those who produce it, where do they obtain their nutritional needs Or is sharing sweet a reasonable cost for a secret service Symbiosis with ants causes such a curiosity. Compactly edited interesting video. Small, quick moving objects are not easy to film, even sting! Keep it up! Wasp next

Kidnappers are just crazy. Can anyone imagine how such a thing happened/evolved in the wild Can't chew! Picking up pupae from other colonies would not make much sense. Targeting DIFFERENT species! It might be originated from nutritional purposes, but. Impossible to follow up a scenario. Beyond imagination. Deep Look must find inklings at least.

I’m just thinking how if Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to help the flood victims in Texas and there was a pool of water and these little fire ants were floating on their ant raft and he walked into them trying to help look for survivors and he starts screaming ANTS! On the top of his lungs going up his legs

Fire ants know how to use airbus. (Nobody believed me)
They bait a fly with food offered, fly took the food bait, fire ant ride on fly, and flew anyway is a new location space in the area to explore (just spread like fire)
i had seen that when i was 9 years old, they had tricks

What a fantastic job by Deep Look workers! Ants that sting! Put an yellow & black stripes & a pair of wings! Over & over again said in the video means it's unlike a needle of single use/dose, but more like a fang of venomous snakes, right Scary.

I wonder what would happen if kidnapper ants were forced into close proximity to another colony. Would they eventually just merge as a colony Stop kidnapping and protect the other queen Or would they glitch out and destroy her

There are many different species of ants. There are species of ants that sting people very painfully. They often move in groups and are very disciplined. I really like their habits. Thank you Admin for showing me these videos.

To be fair when it comes to the kidnapper ants, their victims basically do the same tasks they'd otherwise do in their other colony Out of curiosity do they only grab worker ant larvae or do they grab potential soldier larvae as well

As a kid I once layed down beneath a car to get a football. to my dismay I had just layed down, belly first, on top of a fire ant mound. That was not a fun day at the emergency room

Ants are so cool, the come in so many different variations. And have adapted to almost every single ecosystem they’ve encountered. I want to get a colony of my own one day

To me, honeypot ants are truly a biological wonder! Who would have thought that such a tiny creature could turn its own body into a food storage vessel for the whole colony

Recycled content and narrating worse after every change. Not trying to be rude but after each change it's getting harder and harder to actually hear what is being said.

The trope is that cockroaches will inherit the earth, but the more you learn about ants the more obvious it becomes that they will rule the earth if/when we're gone.

Thank you for the up close footage of how these animals work. I know ants don't think like humans do, but I always wondered what's going through their head.
