I know it's hard to believe but I mostly keep this account to try to get people to watch my ant videos. (why I want people to watch ant videos is a question I can't really fathom...) I made a really good new video today with a time lapse that shows how heat sensitive Camponotus discolor are. They move their pupae constantly to maintain ideal development conditions.
@futurebird Followed. Wonderful videos. If there’s one thing that’s continually present in all of our lives, it’s ants. We generally ignore them unless we’re killing them. How much better that we understand them. Fascinating.
@futurebird dunno abt camponotus, but i recall honeybees have phenomenal success rate at raising young to maturity vs wild non social insects. Maybe 95% vs 10% or less? All that micro managing pays off.
