Ever wondered how an ant colony starts?
An ant colony is a population of a single ant species able to maintain its complete lifecycle.
Well, you are about to see that happen as we fly through time reading the life stages of an ant colony's genesis starting just from a queen to a thriving ant colony in just reading this several pages.
I am gathering this information to just show you how our natural ecosystem runs fluently.
LET'S START....DAY 1 BEGINS...
I first spotted an ant in my fisher tank and let this grow his colony. This ant was very much cuter than you could think. But I hope you would feel very interested in reading this whole story of an ant colony's growth.
after releasing that ant I was a bit worried about her future. In some videos, I saw that some of the YouTuber's experiments to start a new ant colony were quite dangerous.
but despite all failure attempts one of the YouTubers did not give up and in the end the YouTuber was successful His success inspired me so much and I started to make my ant colony.
after releasing that little ant I observed his steps. I discovered that at first, she was observing the inner environment. It took about a few hours for him to understand the unknown environment.
I hope he might understand that it was his new home where she had to start his new colony. the soil height was 2 meters. Because they need deeper soil to build their colony. In some videos on YouTube, I saw that some of the species of ants build their colony about 5-20 meters deep in the soil.
after a couple of hours when her exploring was over I gave her a point of honey so that she could restore her energy for a long journey .
As I sat quietly observing, I saw her consume some sweet nectar and then begin constructing a cozy abode underground. It was fascinating to watch her use her tiny legs to dig out a small entrance, and then carefully shape the walls of her nest using a mixture of mud and saliva. The process was slow but steady, and it was clear that the ant was determined to create a safe and secure home for herself and her future offspring. Witnessing this natural phenomenon was truly a wonderful experience, and it left me feeling grateful for the beauty and intricacy of the world around us.
After finishing my work, I decided to call it a night as it was already 1 am. I turned off all the lights, got into bed, and closed my eyes, hoping to have a peaceful and restful sleep.
