So I made a youtube channel that's growing at a decent rate, I post leopard gecko videos tuesday, ant videos on sunday and a randomn video of any type on friday. If you have the time, check it out!

 

Sorry I haven't been on any of the ant forums for the past couple of months, how's everyone doing?

 

Youtube channel: https://goo.gl/SwIqc9

 

Edit: Wow, the channel's gotten to 4700 subs! I have kind of neglected it for the past couple of months, but seeing this I'm motivated to try and make videos again. Can we hit 5000 subs by the end of the year?

Thanks! Yeah I noticed with a lot of pet youtubers that they don't use tripods, don't have enough editing and their videos flow too slowly. With my channel I hope to provide fast flowing but still useful videos about ants and leopard geckos.

Nice video, but I feel it may make people draw to quick conclusions on the ID of their ants.

I think it was not too bad for beginners. He does say "most likely", so as long as they keep that in mind. It can't be as bad as people watching Mikey's old videos and thinking every ant they see is either Formica fusca or Lasius neoniger.

I did not say it was his fault, I was implying something else, but okay, and lol. :lol:

Wow thanks for the support everybody. And yeah I tried to include as many common North American ants as possible, based on the ID questions asked on this forum. Did I miss any? And what videos do you think would be the most useful for beginners?

 There are a bunch more, southern ant genera not included in your ID video, but so far as it goes, pretty good!  (y)

Also, and I think this is important, presented entertainingly.
