I now have two videos of ants making noise. I wish I'd captured the sound of a Veromessor chewing on its formicarium - that was loud, too, like GNAW GNAW GNAW GNAW - but at least there are these two: a fraggle tapping at me, and now, loudly slurping thirsty Pogonomyrmex.

 

Gaster-tapping C. fragilis:

 

 

 

Slurping Pogonomyrmex (ignore lovebirds chirping):

I love it when a little ant tries to take a person on. They are so brave.

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<.
