I Gave My Pet Ant Colony a Baby Mouse

by



My marauder ant colony (Carebara diversa), living cozily in an ant terrarium, is exploding in numbers. The queen ant has been laying eggs non-stop, creating workers of all sizes, including large majors. But with this increase in the population of the colony comes a great hunger for food, particularly protein. So this week, I decided to give my pet ants something new to eat: a dead pinky mouse. How they dealt with eating the large mouse carcass opened my eyes about the importance of ants as nature’s detritivores and scavengers. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
