If I could hold a fruit fly I bet they'd take it from my hand. I love feeding them this way!

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<

They seem to notice the food by smell I think? And if it's fruit flies they are SO EXCITED to grab them.

I was wondering if this was possible, glad you made this video. I’m sure it won’t work for some colonies, though.
