Discovering & Naming A New Species of Ant in My Yard

Imagine discovering a new ant species and being able to give it a scientific name. That dream just got a little bit closer to becoming a reality this week. In this episode, we return to #Antopia, my backyard, where I happened to discover a peculiar new ant that I hadn't yet seen. Upon research, I was shocked to discover that we may have stumbled upon a novel ant discovery! Hope you enjoy this week's episode! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I like how he calls himself an ordinary ant keeper like he isnt building a house specifically for ant keeping.

[notzaney]

Ants: Literally has 16, 000+ different species

Me (sees 3 different species in one place): *"bruhh, Ants"*

[plasmatichaze]

The one guy who doesn't get upset when he finds ants in his kitchen

[elcrit]

Mother nature: how many spikes would you like? They dont really protect you or anything, because what eats you really doesnt care.
Insects: *Y E S*

[hot]

Ant: is missing a tooth unlike the other ones

Scientists: ah yes,

[qwest]

Imagine being on the defending end of a war, and then a giant creature the size of mount everest starts helping you.

I went away for maybe a year, and only now did YouTube start recommending me this channel again. I just find you casually finding a new species of ant and building a whole house for ants and exotic animals.

You definitely have gone far

[iseeyou]

Scientists: determine species of ants by their diet, way of living, and body structure
Me: red ant, black ant, green ant

[notplayingnow]

I love how you say "we" made this discovery while you went out filming in your backyard while I watched a video in my room with the aircon on and eating snacks. Ah yes the amount of work i put in is extrordinary.

The ant was a gift from mother nature for valentine’s day, with the pink/red and heart shaped gaster

[treysimon]

I think we should call it the Cupid Ant. It has a heart-shaped gaster, a cute face, spikes that could represent arrows, and it was discovered around Valentines Day!

[Kapcerballs]

What's the coolest thing about this experience is that the ant you discovered actually looks very unique.

[ShaunCockerill]

Ants: covers the sticky stuff in rocks.
Fly: removes the rocks to get to the sticky stuff.

[CuriousityFTW]

Normally all these ants look the same to me, but that one was just gorgeous.

[lucid_god]

Ant: has one hair out of place
Scientists: holy crap a new species

[uriqislowerthan]

4:40 random beat drop that for some reason is an absolute banger.

[TheNoteblockLizard]

I knew it wouldn't be too long before you started asking for names for the individual colonies within Antopia! XD
This was a very exciting video! Can't wait to learn more about what you manage to unearth about this unfamiliar ant :D

[eternalrinnegan]

I haven't watched in 3 years

And now all of this...
You've gone far AC Father

[Wffls]

Ant: *bites me*
Me: “kill it ..”
Him: “oh hey buddy! Are you hungry?”
