    I'm not sure you could realistically control these kinds of ants with predation. Your best bet would be around parasites , parasitoids and disease, etc. Most predators would just take an occasional meal, unthreatening for the demograhy, and few things would dare to close an ant’s nest. Exactly like man-eating lions. They can't stop us from owning the savanna. Sociality tends to make you that broken.

    • @nordicants6232
      @nordicants6232 Місяць тому

      Yeah I guess! Maybe a ravenous toad? The thing is I might only need to change their behaviour, causing them not to forage in the open and providing space for other opportunists… but yes very true!!

    • @justepourlacheruncom8393
      @justepourlacheruncom8393 Місяць тому

      @@nordicants6232 The parasitoids might work for disturbing ants' behaviors (it's proved for fire ants, they are more cautious and spend less time outdoors when parasitoid flies are around). But I guess a toad could do the trick , provided they will compensate with their own predation the foraging area loss. Even one predatory ants in a terrarium is a big deal given how much space and preys they need in the wild. Maybe changing the landscape to make refuges zone hard for ants to reach ? Or maybe temporary refuge with a door to cut ants access and let time for prey to reproduce. A bit like pasture areas ? By the way with a bit of coding you could use some AI machine vision tools to monitor insects populations and ants trails.

  • @tamarrajames3590
    @tamarrajames3590 Місяць тому

    Wow!!! This was unexpected. I would have thought the marauder colony more likely to have increased in numbers more quickly than the trap jaw colony. Mind you, I have only seen trap jaws in captivity, but they seemed finicky to maintain, and didn’t have explosive growth. It would seem your predators are choosing other species over the trap jaws, giving them an edge. Perhaps they are able to cause a predator more pain than the others, or they have developed a strategy of mobbing any predator in their territory, and killing them by force of numbers hence the edge of larger population. Amphibian s of some sort might be good predators for them, reproducing in water, where they are safe from the ants, and mostly in or near the water except when seeking food. A thick rubbery hide may also be an advantage. I know you are more on top of this than I am, and I will gladly see what you decide to do. I still miss that hammer head.🖤🇨🇦

    • @nordicants6232
      @nordicants6232 Місяць тому

      Thank you so much!! Always waiting for your wellwritten comment <3 yes I am thinking amphibians too… potentially toads. Just need to make sure they are safe from the centipede..? The trapjaw explosion is really unprecedented however. Trying to find out the root cause first. I will try get a hammerhead into the vivarium too! Will take a little time only hehe.

    • @tamarrajames3590
      @tamarrajames3590 Місяць тому

      @@nordicants6232 I think toads might be a really good choice. It is possible the centipede would avoid a toad with bufotoxin, but it is hard to say for sure. I just am surprised at the explosive growth of the trap jaw colony, any I have seen before are slow to grow, and easily lost,, but yours appear to go against my previous experience. Perhaps it is where they have positioned themselves in the vivarium? I love your vivarium regardless of who is in residence, and have lots of patience, your uploads are always worth waiting for. If a hammerhead turns up one day I will be delighted, but hopefully not before the imbalance is remedied. I’d hate to see one arrive only to be destroyed.🖤🇨🇦
