I Added a Grim Reaper Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

Күн бұрын

In my giant 1000 gallon cloud rainforest vivarium, called Pantdora, the established ecosystem faces the addition of a 'grim reaper', a notorious insect predator known as a praying mantis, as well as, a colony of crickets. But with the addition of these new animals, came a surprising discovery regarding the Great Ant War that was taking place within Pantdora. Hope you enjoy this episode, Part 9 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

The larva in the waters is an Odonata larva, suborder Zygoptera (damselflies etc.). The mantis (likely Hierodula patellifera) is a presubadult female, meaning she has yet to molt twice to reach adulthood and get wings! She won't eat much until she molts, since she was almost full before being added :).

I know it sounds crazy but me and many others have independantly encountered mantis-like creatures during extreme psychedelic experiences, I have never looked at them with the same eyes since. They spoke to me of the past of the earth and future of species, including humans, producing incredible Meso-American art to tell their story. They were also rather annoyed that I had invaded their realm and said it wasn't time for humans to come to them except for special reasons, recreation and curiosity not being one of them. Then they threw me into a void and I woke up on the floor, totally traumatized but those mantis sages were an incredible encounter (I'm not saying this is a real experience, but it felt completely real, despite probably just being a product of my mind. But why do so many people encounter mantises when they take "heroic" doses of psychedelics? (heroic is a term within the community, it just mean megadoses that make you lose all connection to reality and stop seeing the real world around you, you are transported to a realm deep inside your mind, but it can be incredibly traumatic)

As an entomology aficionado my whole life (I'm 46 now) I can't begin to tell you how excited I was when I saw my favorite animal in the whole animal kingdom, the Praying Mantis, been introduced into Pantdora. By the way, I believe that was a female since I spotted 5 segments on her abdomen instead of the 6 you usually see in most male species. Hope to see more of the tigers of the insect kingdom in future episodes of Pantdora. Keep it up.

I feel like the best way to help the marauder ants win the war is to remove the stump that is full of black crazy ants, thus removing a lot of their queens, especially since the marauders have moved. It might not solve everything but if the goal is to help the marauders well, may have to replace the stump

@Bestintheworld17 4 ай бұрын

Hey AC! Regarding the small insect you found underwater at around the 22 minute mark, my best guess judging from some of my work with other insect larvae is that that is a mayfly larvae still rather early on in development, and probably did come in accidentally with the plants you purchased. Lucky find!

@nablamakabama488 4 ай бұрын

22:15 To me it looks exactly like a damselfly larva. There might be a mayfly species that looks very similar, but I’m pretty sure it’s a damselfly. I accidentally had one in my aquarium too once, but since the room temperature was warmer than outside it emerged during winter instead of summer, and died shortly after, because my living room hadn’t the correct conditions (no prey and probably to dry) and it was way to cold to put it outside. But it was fascinating to see a damselfly fly in winter (probably not as weird in a tropical country). It will probably not grow big enough to eat your fish or shrimps like some dragonfly larva can (maybe their babies) but mine survived somehow with guppies and neocaridina davidi in the tank (just like in this case), idk never saw it eat. So maybe we’ll see a damselfly in one of the next videos.
