My New Ultra Rare Blue Ant Colony

The rare Blue Ant (Polyrhachis cyaniventris) has always been my dream ant species, but I formerly refused to keep them after discovering how biodiverse and specific their natural habitat, a cloud rainforest, is. But now that I actually had a fully developed cloud rainforest ecosystem in which I could house a colony of blue ants, I jumped on the opportunity when a friend sent me a colony he had collected. It was a total dream come true and I couldn't wait to learn more about them, specifically their nesting behaviours. Hope you enjoy this Season 5, Episode 12 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
