dojo decoration. How to make a kitchen. 도장 장식. 부엌을 만드는 법. - Duration: 13:14.
hello.
I used to create a living space inside Sunfish.
There was a kitchen.
I can make the kitchen better by building a cottage later on.
Inside Sunfish, the old version of the kitchen remained.
It is a video to fix it.
They will make sinks, refrigerators, gas stoves and microwave ovens.
Of course, the cupboard.
In fact, it does not make sense to have such a facility in outer space.
I'm going to be a fictional fun.
In the first place, I have also built a bathroom and shower room.
It is rather narrower than a kitchen in a cottage.
Well, it's done this way anyway.
Thank you for watching.

HOW TO MAKE - A LEGO Laser Alarm - Duration: 3:49.
Hi! Purple Oranji here.
Today I'm going to play with lasers and make a security alarm for my room
In another video, I made an electronic door lock
out of Mindstorms LEGO
So if you haven't seen it you can check it out here, or here
I think everyone occasionally wants to keep a nosy sibling
or parent out of their room
Building on what I learned on that project
I wanted to make something more complex
So I wanted to make an alarm that would trigger
when someone tries to sneak in
Today I'll show you how I made my own laser
PEW PEW PEW
security alarm out of LEGO Mindstorms
For this project I'll be using a Lego Mindstorms EV3 brick
Mirror tiles
A red laser diode
breadboards
well a breadboard
coin battery and its holder
pin wires
As always I'll have deatiled links in the description
But first, a warning
lasers can be really dangerous so remember to be cautious and always use
the right safety glasses
so let's begin
Wow! Everything is so blue
First I started with testing the laser diode
I connected the diode to my breadboard
I tested to make sure that everything worked
I used a red 5 milli watt laser diode for this project
because is relatively low cost
and are safer than the other colors
I used a breadboard so that we can quickly test and change things as needed
I didn't spend too much time on making this look nice
because it was just a prototype
for future versions
I would like to make a better housing
next it's on to the laser platform
because small vibrations could cause the aim of the laser to be off
I made a platform out of LEGO
to hold the laser steady and also used for aiming
I used lego Digital Designer
to make and create the instructions
that I needed to build it in real life
with the laser base built
All I have to do is add the laser and test it out
For the coding, I started off by making a simplest looping alarm
once I had that, I added other enhancements
like a countdown
warning messages and an information display
I created a custom block for the countdown
so that I could easily reuse it in different places if needed
With everything loaded into the EV3
it's time to test it out
how the alarm works is by reading the light intensity
of the laser with the color sensor
the code will wait until there is a change in intensity
when the intensity changes
the alarm will trigger
I can press a button on the top
to stop and re-arm the alarm so it's ready again
Now that system works
it's time to install it somewhere fun
I decided to install it in the doorway of my room
anyone the breaks beam will trigger the alarm
Well thats it
My very own laser alarm system for my room
this is only the first version
there are many other things I can add to make it better
but it was still fun figuring out how it all worked

How to Make Quick Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise ~ Chipotle Mayo Sauce - Duration: 2:22.
I'm Tess and today I'm going to make a delicious spicy and addicting chipotle
mayo sauce. It is easy to make and great for a condiment and sauce for all kinds
of dishes.
(intro music)
I'm going to be making a Southwestern corn salad and I first need
to make a chipotle mayonnaise. I thought I'd bring you along and show you how I
make it. I'm using my food processor to mix
everything together. I have 1 cup of mayonnaise and I'm adding in a chipotle
pepper with a little bit of the adobo sauce. This is the spicy element and you
can adjust it to your liking. Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos packed in
an adobo sauce. You can find these at Walmart and once you open the can just
store them in a little lidded container in your refrigerator and they'll last a
good long time. I'm adding in a teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder, 1/4
teaspoon of cumin, a pinch of salt and a juice of half a lime. Processing this for
about 30 seconds to a minute to get everything combined. You can adjust the
seasonings to your liking and you can also add in some chili powder, oregano or cilantro.
If you like to counter a little bit of
the spiciness from the chipotle pepper you can add in some sweetness with some
sugar or honey. This really adds a nice touch. You could store the chipotle
mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
The chipotle mayonnaise is great on burgers, sandwiches, burritos, quesadillas, nachos,
salads including potato and macaroni salad, it's delicious on corn on the cob
and you can even use it as a dip for chips and vegetables. It is a delicious
and versatile sauce. Stay tuned for my corn salad video recipe. I hope you give
this Chipotle mayonnaise a try and enjoy.

Hi.
Welcome back to my channel.
This is Dallas from Dallas Can Do It and today we're going to make a rain cloud.
So first we're going to spray some shaving cream.
This is a cloud.
A rain cloud.
Sorry I made a little mess.
They had to clean it up.
Okay so I put some shaving cream and then I put in the drops of food coloring and then
set the timer.
It's starting to rain.
When water vapor hits cold air, it turns into droplets of water.
The drops stick together to make clouds.
When the cloud gets too much water the rain drops down and rain falls.
Look at the time!
It's time to go.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
See you next time on Dallas Can Do It.

How-To Make Jackfruit Kebabs | Kathal ke Kebab | Gourmet n Grub Veg Recipes - Duration: 4:18.
Good day my dear friends!
Moving on with the kebab series, Today I will walk you through the preparation of jackfruit
kebabs.
This is a total bonanza for vegetarians as they do not find many options in a barbecue
party.
So, let's see how we go about it.
For this we need to take green, unripe variety of jackfruit.
I Simply boiled the jackfruit and drained the extra water out of it.
One thing you have to take care is that remove the hard skin if any.
See this type of skin we need to take out.
Now, we will blend them in a food processor.
I have minced it properly.
Take 2 tsp of oil.
Roast 2 tbsp gram flour till very nice aroma starts coming out of it.
Add 1 tsp of turmeric, 2tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp cumin powder,
1 tsp green chilli.
I think it is roasted now since very nice aroma is coming out of it.
Add lots of coriander and mint leaves.
Now, I will add minced jackfruit to it, finally 1 tsp of salt.
Mix everything well.
Gram flour will help us bind our kebabs and give it a nutty flavor.
So, we take it out in a bowl like this and allow it to cool for some time.
In the mean time we will make a filling to add some more proteins to it.
Take 1 tsp of oil and saute 1/2 cup of onion into it.
Add 1/2 cup peas, 1/2 cup Indian cottage cheese that is paneer but my vegan friends can always
substitute it with crumbled tofu.
Add very little salt and that is it.
Take it out in a bowl.
Now our mixture has come to normal temperature.
We will add 2 tsp of lemon juice in it and mix it well.
Let's make the kebabs now.
We put some oil in our hand.
We can make a simple kebab like this.
Whatever shape and size you prefer and the other way is, if you want to make the kebab
with filling, we make 2 small patties like this and just flatten it on our palms.
Fill the filling like this.
keep another patty on top of it and just try to seal the ends of it and very good kebab
come out.
As you can see we have prepared all our kebab like this.
I will just put these kebabs in the oven but for more smokey flavor the barbeque lovers
can grill them in barbecue grills.
These kebabs are going in the oven.
We will be back soon.
See they have really come out well.
Golden brown from both the sides.
I have kept them in the oven for 250 degree C and flipped them once they are golden brown.
Now I have set the platter with my favorite veggies so that they don't feel left behind.
Do try these kebabs and I hope you enjoy these kebabs as much as I enjoyed making them.
If you like this recipe please give it a thumbs up and do subscribe to my youtube channel.
Many more kebabs coming up so stay tuned.
Bye Bye.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉ RECIPE-How to make a light chocolate soufflé - Duration: 3:37.
Hello « les amis » it's pierre, welcome back in my French kitchen!
Today I'm want to prove you that french pastry is not as difficult as you can think.
I'm going to show you how to create an excellent chocolate souffle.
That dessert is made with only two things…creamy base and egg whites, that's it!!
Dead simple
and It takes only 20 min to make it
If you don't want your « soufflé » to get stuck in the mold, brush it with soft
butter and coat it with caster sugar.
For the chocolate creamy base you can start to melt 100g of chocolate in a water bath.
During that time you can start to crack your eggs.
Put 3 egg whites in a cup and one yolk in another cup.
Put aside your chocolate and mix in a pastry bowl one yolk and one teaspoon of cornstarch.
Turn on the heat on medium and place a sauce pan with 100g of whole milk
When you can see tinny little bubbles you can put your milk on the cornstarch and yolk
mixture.
Stir it and warm it until you reach a simmer.
Put it over your chocolate and stir until you have a smooth and glassy texture.
In a mixer, add 3 egg whites and whisk them slowly at first.
after 1 min increase the speed and add 30g of sugar in three times.
That's the texture we are looking for, in France we call that a bird beak…
« Un bec d'oiseau »
Now, the final part of this recipe, we are going to mix the egg whites with the creamy base.
Let's fill the molds
By the way it's not a mold, it's just a cup
And this goes straight to the oven during 16 min at 180 Celsius or 360 Fahrenheit
Put a pinch of sea-salt…that's the secret.
It's light and there is a strong taste of chocolate…it's very good.
That's it for today, thank you for watching this video, don't forget to subscribe to
my channel… see you for another recipe « à bientôt ciao! »

Liverpool transfer news: Barcelona to make Jasper Cillessen decision next week - Duration: 2:39.
Liverpool are in the market for a new goalkeeper in the wake of Loris Karius' woeful Champions League final performance
And Cillessen has emerged as a potential target with Roma holding firm on Alisson Becker and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak too pricey
Spanish newspaper Sport suggest Liverpool could swoop for the Holland international as they replace Karius between the sticks
And it has been revealed meetings will take place next week in order to discuss where Cillessen's future lies beyond the summer
Barcelona are said to be eager to keep hold of Cillessen, who's seen as the ideal deputy to current No 1 Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
But they will not stand in his way if he makes it clear he wants to call time on his spell in Ter Stegen's shadow
Cillessen has a £53m (€60m) release clause written into the Barcelona contract he put pen to paper on in 2016
However, Sport indicate Nou Camp chiefs will listen to offers starting around the £27m (€30m) mark
Liverpool will not be alone in targeting Cillessen if it is decided the 29-year-old will leave Barcelona
Chelsea, who are facing losing Thibaut Courtois, will also be in pursuit of the former Ajax star's signature too
Barcelona would like to tie up a deal for Cillessen as quickly as possible if required so they can snap up a replacement
Barcelona had to wait until the final week of the transfer window in 2016 to buy Cillessen after Claudio Bravo left for Manchester City
And they don't want to find themselves in a difficult position as they accept Cillessen's desire to move to further his career is only natural

#GIS# How To Make Homemade Organic Pesticide? | Garlic,Pest Control | Spring,Summer Pest - Duration: 6:44.
Assalamu'alaikum
How to Make Insecticides and Fungicides from Garlic
Tools and ingredients needed are
3 grains of garlic
mortar and pestle
spoon
1 spoon liquid soap
1 liter water
recycled mineral bottle
mouthpiece
filter
sprayer
How to make
grind the garlic
mix it with 1 liter water
put the liquid into the bottle
store at room temperature for 24 hours before it can use
Garlic pesticides should be used no more than 3 days after the storage process
this is example of garlic pesticide that has been stored for 24 hours
How to Use Garlic Pesticides
Using spray tools
strain the garlic pesticides and put it into the spray
put and mix the liquid soap into the sprayer
organic pesticides ready for use
do spray evenly on the leaves that look exposed to pests
spray until leaves getting wet with pesticides
pests on tomatoes plants
examples of pests that have died after being sprayed
Garlic pesticides can also be splashed to the soil to prevent pests coming from ground
Why using liquid soap in garlic pesticides?
To increase the work of sprayed pesticides on plants that have waxy leaves such as taro leaves and broccoli.
The waxy leaves will be very difficult to absorb pesticides because the water will not stick and even tends to fall to the ground after being sprayed.
It also happens when we spray the pesticide on the pest whose skin is covered with wax
That's all from us. Thanks for watching

[DIY] How to make CS drift gear for Mini-Q and Mini-Z - Duration: 6:08.
Hello, and welcome to Beaver's Hobby Channel.
In this video I am going to show you how to make a DIY CS gear for Sinohobby Mini-Q.
And this also works for Kyosho Mini-Z too.
If you are new to my channel and don't know what CS drift is,
you can watch my introduction to CS drift video from link in the description.
I am going to modify only the rear main gear
and use solid axle from Sinohobby CS kit.
But if you don't have this CS kit
you can make a solid axle for CS gear from standard differential too.
I also have videos showing you how to do just that.
Again, links are in the description.
Let's start by looking at the rear main gear that I am going to modify in to CS gear.
This is the spur gear or rear main gear for 94 mm wheelbase.
And this is the pinion gear that I am going to use.
It is 16T which will give the car 2.0 CS ratio.
You can find it easily pretty much anywhere on the internet
by searching for "plastic gear for small toys and robot".
Putting them side by side and we can see that the only thing need to be done
is widen the hole on the pinion gear so it can fit over the rear main gear.
The shaft diameter is 4.8 mm
luckily this pinion gear has the same length as the shaft so I don't need to modify that.
If you need to modify the length of the pinion gear,
you only have to sand or file it down until it has the same length.
To widen the hole, use drill bits starting from a small one
and increase the size one at a time.
What you are about to see was my first attempt,
that's why the gear was blue.
So don't be surprised why the actual finished one is white.
A lot of sacrifice has been made in the making of this mod.
I start by using 3 mm drill bit with hand drill to slowly widen the hole.
Then increase the size of the drill bit by half a millimeter at a time.
The final one is 5 mm.
This drill bit doesn't fit my hand drill so I have to use my cordless drill instead.
Be patience every step because you don't want to end up with a hole that is off centre.
And here it is, pinion gear to use with rear main gear.
Now I can put them together by pressing the rear main gear in to this hole like this.
And it is done.
This gear is tight fit so I don't even need to glue it in.
What left to do is putting it in the car and adjust the rear diff
or in this case solid axle to mesh with this gear properly.
Normally I use 2 shims each side for 1.75 CS ratio.
So I am going to move one shim from the right side to the left.
Now I have 3 shims on the left and one shim on the right.
Put it back and check the gear mesh.
This seems to be working well so I can reassemble the car and go for drifting.
Before that, let's check if it is really 2.0 CS ratio.
And here is how it drifts.
It may be a bit difficult to see in the video.
So I am going to describe to you the difference between this one and 1.75 CS ratio that I had before.
With 2.0 CS ratio I can kick the back out much easier than before.
But I have to work the throttle and steering more than before as well.
However this car is still very easy to drive.
What you are seeing here was my first time with this CS ratio on this car
and as you can see it drifts very well.
Now I'm gonna stop talking and let you enjoy the rest of this drifting footage.
That's it for this video.
Please subscribe if you haven't done it yet
and hit the bell icon to get notification whenever I upload a new video.
Thanks for watching. And see you again next time.

How to Build an Ant Nest | Natural Formicarium - Duration: 28:03.
Hi guys, my name's Jordan, and in this video, we're going to be creating some naturalistic
formicaria.
Containing soil, plants, and other crucial organisms.
Basically, mini ecosystems, perfectly catered for the keeping of ants.
To start off, you're going to need an enclosure of some sort.
To give you guys some options, I'm going with 3 distinctive styles.
The first, one our medium sized, 'Ants Australia' Outworlds, made of acrylic.
The second, a tall glass jar.
And thirdly, a 4-foot-long, glass fish tank.
I prefer enclosures with flat sides, and avoid ones which have
rounded sides, like this this cylindrical jar.
As viewing through, results in visual distortion, making it hard to observe anything inside
in great detail.
Much like viewing ants within test tube setups.
But I'm going to try it out, just for the sake of variety.
The size of enclosure you go for should depend on the size of your ant colony, and how much
growing room they'll need over time.
Typically, the larger the setup, the better.
Although, just keep in mind, the larger you go, the more you'll need to invest into
materials and general maintenance.
Once you've picked an enclosure which best suits your needs, we're going to start layering
in our substrate.
What we'll first need to do, is create a drainage layer.
I'm creating mine by laying down some small stones.
Before filling up one of our outworlds, I'm going to need to seal off the entrance port.
To do this, I'm simply unscrewing the front panel and replacing it with a solid one.
Which comes included in the kit.
All ready to go.
Try to lay the stones down evenly, just a few centimeters high is plenty.
A great alternative to stones are clay balls.
Clay is much lighter than rock, making it much more suitable for larger setups.
As it'll make them a little easier to transport later on, if need be.
This drainage layer will help prevent your soil, which we'll be adding in later on,
from becoming water-logged.
Which can cause the substrate to rot, thus, providing ideal conditions for harmful bacteria
and fungi to thrive.
So the idea is that any excess water in your setup, will seep down through the substrate
above, and settle within the small gaps between all the rocks, or clay, below.
Allowing the soil to sufficiently drain and dry out.
Next, what we need to do is cover over your drainage layer.
This is to prevent the soil above from entering, and thus, inhibiting its effectiveness.
For this large setup, I'm using some shade cloth which has been cut to shape.
Some fine window screen would work great for this too.
Or for a more natural approach, a carpet of moss or some coconut husk acts as excellent
alternative.
Not only will it filter out the soil, but it will absorb up any excess moisture too.
For my smaller setups here, I'm going with some coconut husk.
Make sure you've covered the entire surface area so there aren't any gaps.
Next step, we're adding in a layer of charcoal.
When water passes down through this layer, and into the drainage layer below, the charcoal
helps purify it.
It acts like a sponge, absorbing in the water, and neutralizing certain toxins within.
Lessening the chance of harmful microbes building up.
Just make sure the charcoal you use doesn't have any added chemicals.
Finally, it's time to add in some soil.
For these two, I'm adding in some potting mix, specially design for terraria.
And for the fish tank, just some soil from the back yard.
What sort of substrate you go for should depend on what your ants like.
Some species might prefer rather dense and sandy soil, whereas others, might prefer more
of a loose, bark-like substrate.
So, do a bit of research.
Go outside and have a look at what sort of substrate the particular species you intend
on housing are usually found in.
You can also do some experimenting by filling up one side of your setup with one type of
substrate, and the other with something different.
And simply observe which side the ants prefer.
You'll want to add in a decent layer of substrate, to give the ants plenty of room
for constructing their tunnels and chambers.
And if you're going to be adding in some plants, just make sure you leave enough vertical
space for them to grow in.
You'll notice I'm not layering the soil flat, like I did in the previous stages.
Instead, I'm sloping the surface downwards towards the front, and creating subtle hills
and valleys.
This gives the ants an increased amount of surface area to explore and gives the setup
some added dimension too.
Next, comes the fun part.
The decorating.
For this setup, I'm first adding in some plants.
You'll need to carefully consider which plants will best suit your particular setup,
and the ants which will inhabit it.
For example, it wouldn't be a good idea to pick water loving plants when you're
housing an ant species which prefers relatively dry conditions.
As it may be quite tricky trying to please them both.
And other things to consider would be the soil conditions – does the soil you picked
out for the ants, also suit the plants?
And of course, lighting – how much, and what sort of light, do the plants require?
Will they get enough light naturally from a nearby window?
Or might they need artificial lighting?
For my outworld setup, I haven't got a whole lot of vertical space to work with.
So I've picked some low growing plants, which will, in time, entirety carpet the surface.
Tallest plants to the back is best.
And then, I'm just adding in some small rocks, sticks, and a gumnut.
And finally, filling in any remaining gaps with a bit of coconut husk.
For my jar setup, I'm keeping things super basic.
All I'm doing is simply placing in some seeds, which in about a week or two, will
begin to germinate and spring to life.
These seeds are from an easy to grow herb, known as peppermint.
So not only will this add some greenery to the setup, but it will also give off a pleasant,
minty aroma, and of course, tastes great too.
And finally, for my large tank setup, I've added in some driftwood, and plenty of rocks
too.
I've found ants often love nesting directly beneath solid surfaces, such as these, utilizing
them as a sturdy ceiling for their homes.
So, hopefully this will make mine feel right at home.
If the ants you're going to be housing are a wood dwelling species, like 'Carpenter
Ants', then some small branches would be much appreciated for them.
And to liven up the setup, I've also added in some small tussocks of grass,
and some beautifully vibrant mosses.
And for the finishing touch, a thin layer of red sand, found naturally throughout central
Australia.
I think it gives the setup some great contrast.
Once you're happy with your design, it's time to hydrate.
Regular tap water is fine for this.
Although, you're probably best using rain or distilled water.
So as to avoid adding in any unwanted chemicals.
How much, and how often you water should depend on the size of your setup, it's evaporation
rates, and what sort of humidity levels your inhabitants require.
I highly recommend placing in a hygrometer, so you can accurately gauge these levels.
I've secured one on the inside of my jar setup just using some blu tack, like so.
You might want to also leave some dry patches throughout the setup, giving the ants a moisture
gradient to work with.
If you're using one of our outworlds, just be aware that they aren't water tight.
So, if you flood one, the water will slowly leak out from the bottom.
I'm putting a little potting tray beneath mine, so as to protect the surface of the
table beneath.
This leakage, while seemly impractical, is actually quite a good thing.
As it allows for improved drainage.
Reducing the chances of harmful bacteria and fungi from developing, and catering better for arid dwelling
ant species, and plants like succulents, which do best when their roots periodically dry
out.
Plus, if you fill your tray up with water, it can act like a moat.
Discouraging the ants from escaping, and foreign ants from invading.
However, the most effective way to escape proof your setup, and prevent wild ants from
invading, would be to apply a barrier of PTFE all around the
upper inner edges of your enclosure.
Before you apply this liquid, make sure you clear the surface area of any dust and moisture.
For my outworld setup, I'm simply coating the inner edges, bordering the lid, using
a cotton cue tip, like so.
Once this liquid dries, the area becomes super slippery, making it very difficult for ants
to pass over it, without losing their grip, and falling back down to the bottom.
For the jar setup, normally, I would coat this area here.
However, the ants I'm going to be housing are incapable of climbing up smooth surfaces,
like plastic and glass.
So, no fluon required.
And lastly for the fish tank, a barrier around this area would be sufficient for containing
most ant species.
Although, some ants, who are a little more adept at climbing, will likely have no troubles
scaling up the silicone sealant in the corners.
Silicone isn't as smooth a surface as the glass, and so, even when it's coated in
fluon, it proves to create weak points in the barrier.
So for my setup, I'm not taking any chances, instead, I'm utilizing one of our custom
designed, laser cut, acrylic lids, which has been secured on with some aquarium safe silicone.
The lid has a large opening on either side, the only way in, and out.
Once the inner edges of which are coated with fluon, the ants would
need to walk upside down over the barrier, definitely not an easy task.
The lids are also lined with thousands of tiny holes for ventilation.
Much like the sliding lids featured on our outworlds.
If you wanted to make one of these yourself, you could get a sheet of acrylic and cut it
to shape using a specialized blade.
For extra security, a tight-fitting lid is definitely a great option.
Just be aware that closing off your enclosure will reduce evaporation rates and increase
the humidity levels within.
So, you won't need to hydrate the setup nearly as often.
This high humidity may also result in condensation build up, and thus, render your fluon barrier
ineffective.
So, it's a good idea to use a lid which offers plenty of ventilation, like these ones.
Alright, almost done.
Next, we're adding in a cleanup crew.
Some helpful bugs, in the form of springtails and isopods.
These bugs will actively consume any organic matter, like dead leaves and fungi.
And then, excrete them out as fertilizer, cleansing and enriching the soil.
You'll just have to be a little bit careful with the bugs you choose, however.
In some cases, the ants might see them as food, and relentlessly seek out and attack
them.
I've found most ant species don't really go after springtails.
I think it's because they're far too small and agile to be worth the effort in catching.
So I'm adding in a bunch to mine.
And another great thing about springtails is they're very easy to raise.
Here's a culture I started a few months back, just from a couple of hundred individuals.
Now, they must be well into the tens of thousands strong.
Now the cleanup crew's in, we're finally ready to add in some ants!
For my outworld setup, I'm going for a young colony of Strobe Ants (Opisthopsis sp.)
Who are housed in a tubs and tubes setup.
I'm simply placing their tube straight in, like so.
For the jar setup, I'm introducing a small colony of Green-headed Ants (Rhytidoponera sp.).
Also, from a test tube setup, one which isn't looking so great.
You can see it's starting to get a little moldy.
So they're more than ready to be moved out.
Again, I'm just placing the tube directly into the enclosure.
And finally, for my fish tank, I'm introducing a colony of Australia's iconic, Giant Bull
Ants (Myrmecia pyriformis), which I currently have housed within a couple of ytong nests,
hooked up to one of our large sized outworlds.
This species of ant is one of the largest in world.
With workers measuring in at around 30mm in length, and the queens even larger still.
And as you can see, this colony's quite large too.
They currently have around 40 workers present, and there's lots more on the way.
Just look at all that brood.
I love how they've neatly organized them based upon what level of development they're at.
First you've got the eggs…the larvae…and finally, the pupae.
So to introduce these guys, using light, I've managed to move them all into this single
nest, and from here, I'm simply placing them into the tank, and setting them free.
To entice the ants to move out of their old nests, there's a few things you can do.
Firstly, try poking some shallow holes into the soil, to save the ants some digging.
Ants are all about efficiency, so offering them a head start acts as a great incentive
for them to move in.
Also, in this way, you can essentially dictate the general area the ants will end up nesting in.
For example, you might want them closer towards the front, so you can potentially get a better
view of their underground activity.
Additionally, you can use some heat to entice the ants further.
Using a heating mat or cable.
For my Big-headed ant setup, which has undergone quite the re-scape since featured last, I'm
currently using a heat mat which I've secured onto the front.
As you can see, the ants love nesting right up against it, offering an excellent view
of their activity.
Alternatively, if you're running lights over your setup, or just other appliances
nearby, you can utilize the heat radiating from their power plugs.
Here's a setup we created a few months back, home to a large colony of Golden-tailed Sugar ants.
You can see they really appreciate the warmth in which these power packs provide.
Maneuvering the majority of their brood within clear view, right up against the glass.
I've done the same thing for the Bull Ants too, so hopefully I get some similar results.
You can also try feeding the ants.
Only some small portions, just so the ants get a taste of the food, encouraging them
to seek out more, thus, inadvertently, getting them to explore and become more comfortable
in their new environment.
Here, I'm offering the bull ants some honey, served in an acorn cupule, which acts a neat-little,
natural, feeding dish.
And of course, exposing the ants to light is always a good way to get them moving.
Just make sure they're not exposed to direct sunlight or overly hot lights, as this may
cause the ants to overheat, and or, result in excessive condensation build up within
their nest, which could potentially drown the ants.
In my case, it wasn't long before the strobe ants began exploring their new environment.
Notice these ants move in a rather jittery fashion?
It's almost like you're watching them at 10 frames per second.
Hence their common name of "strobe ant".
Their eyes are also quite large, and unusually, positioned towards the back of their heads.
Allowing them almost a 360-degree field of view.
Very unique ants for sure.
The reason I picked strobe ants for this particular setup, is because they're from up north
in Queensland, and so, are well suited to the high humidity levels, in which this enclosure
provides.
Shout out to Eli over at Ant Invasion for sending us these guys.
I highly recommend checking out his YouTube channel.
I'll leave the link the description below.
After a couple of weeks, they're still yet move out from their test tube.
Young ant colonies, with only a few workers present, tend to be quite hesitant to abandon
their familiar home for a new one.
Especially since it's been working so well for them for so long.
So, I may be waiting quite a while before these guys build up the courage to move.
So, when moving ants, a little patience may be needed, as is often the case when it comes
to ant keeping.
As for the green-heads on the other hand, as soon as I placed them in, the workers poured
out, and immediately began burrowing into the soil right by the entrance of their tube.
Their hard work quickly drew the attention of the other inhabitants, the isopods and
springtails.
They felt the ants' newly dug chamber was the perfect spot to seek shelter from the
harsh filming lights above, and opportunistically squeezed themselves in.
And pretty soon, the queen came along to join the party too.
The ants weren't too happy with the presence of the isopods, eventually driving them off
with a quick succession of bites.
But they weren't at all fussed with the spring tails.
The two tend to get along quite well.
Which seems to be a common theme with Green-headed ants.
Whenever I uncover a wild nest, I almost always see an abundance of springtails living happily
amongst them.
As you can imagine, these Green-headed Ants get their name from their shimmering green
colouration.
But they're incredibly iridescent.
Ranging from green, to red, to purple, and even gold.
Very pretty looking ants.
For the Bull Ants, same as the green-heads, they started digging in almost immediately.
Favoring the underside of this small rock, right beside their nest.
And eventually, after perhaps discovering the warmth of the power plugs, started excavating
a little higher up too.
Beneath this piece of wood, and amongst the rocks above.
Fast forward about 12 hours later, and they'd completely moved in.
Leaving not so much as a single egg behind.
Removing their old nest revealed just how busy the ants had been.
Just look at all that uplifted soil.
Here, you can see the before and after.
It's amazing just how productive ants can be.
So what do you guys think of these naturalistic setups?
Aesthetically speaking, it's pretty hard to beat something like this, the greenery
really livens up a room.
And arguably, when they're done right, I think they're one of the most effective
ways to keep ants too.
As they allow the ants to dig, expand, and fine-tune their nest, however they see fit.
Making them a perfect environment for raising just a single queen, all the way up to a mature
colony, thousands of workers strong.
They really are designed to go the distance.
Take my Big-headed ant colony for example.
These guys have been living in this same natural setup for over 2 years now.
And it's pretty safe to say, they're doing very well.
It's always a good sign you've got a thriving colony when they begin producing winged reproductive
ants.
Especially, when they come out in the thousands strong.
Plus, you won't be just observing the growth of the ant colony, but the growth of plants
too.
Here's my jar setup a few weeks on.
You can see those peppermint seeds I sprinkled in have finally begun to germinate.
Aren't they just adorable?
There's a lot less maintenance involved with these setups too.
In a more traditional setup, any garbage the ants produce will eventually need to be cleaned
out by the keeper.
But with a naturalistic setup, organisms in the soil slowly decompose such waste.
So other than keeping the plants trimmed and hydrated, there's really very little extra
work that needs to be done.
Of course, there are some downsides.
You likely won't be able to get as clear a view of all the ants' nesting activities
as you would within a more traditional setup.
But for some, watching the ants come up to forage, and maybe occasionally seeing some
tunnels and chambers up against the sides, is more than enough.
If you want to stay updated on how these colonies progress, make sure you subscribe this channel.
We've got a lot of ants we've still yet to show you guys, and it'll take a long
while before we get through them all.
If you're not the patient type, however, I highly recommend following us on Instagram.
Here we post daily stories on everything ants!
Whether it be quick updates on our colonies, or behind the scenes on future projects.
Alright, now onto our regular contest where we giveaway one of our specially built formicaria.
In last video's contest I asked, "How has your interest in ants impacted you as
a person?"
For me, as you can imagine, ants have made quite big impact.
From a young age, I've always had a deep interest in the natural world, especially
in the small creatures, which often go unnoticed, and so, was naturally drawn to ants.
Later in life, I learned of the joys of keeping and studying ants, and soon started sharing
these findings with you guys, in the form of videos like these.
And eventually, I founded our website and online store, for all things ant keeping,
which in turn, allowed me to meet and learn from some amazing people, and open myself
up to new opportunities, of which I never expected to have, like doing talks for schools,
and even appearing on Australian television.
All thanks to ants!
But of course, none of these things would have been possible without you guys and your
incredible support throughout the years.
You've really driven me to pursue my passion, and for that I'm incredibly grateful.
So thank you guys so much!
So the winner of the contest is…Lemonhole 123 who responded, "Keeping ants has changed
my life for the better as it has shown me the beauty of nature and also the ugly side
too.
This has formed an ongoing love for the outdoors and for animals of all varieties.
I have started to find myself stopping all my friends from stepping on the ants just
for the beauty of all these creatures big and small".
So, congratulations Lemonhole, with this entry, you've just won yourself one of our size
1 ytong nests.
Nowadays, it seems a lot of people simply neglect the beautiful intricacies of nature.
A state of mind, us humans, really must change, now more than ever before.
So, it's really refreshing to hear that you, and many other entrants for this contest,
have now become more attuned to nature thanks to ants.
For our next videos contest, to celebrate the release of our new purpose build outworlds,
we're going to be giving one away.
To enter, simply answer the following, "What made you want to keep ants?"
If you're currently not keeping ants, "Why not?"
So, post your answer in the comment section below.
We'll pick out a single comment and announce them as the winner in our next video.
As always thanks for watching this video, and I hope you enjoyed.
