welcome back Q. i would keep camponotus due to the diversity and weird tendences like tandem running, also they are really visually appealing (big and colourful) and are also relatively easy to care for with usually passive behavior
@tozboz1018
Q: Camponotus definitely. they're easy to house and their population can increase rapidly. They are also harmless (except to the environment in some cases!) Being the largest genus of ant, they are very diverse with some looking stunning (eg. Camponotus pennsylvanicus). 5:25

Personally would love to keep bull ants for the rest of my life as their vision and intelligence are so marvelous. I've only ever seen them twice in the wild here in Sydney and both times they seemed so curious and interactive with me. No doubt I would keep them for life😎
@Limnic0
i really love these types of videos all the satisfaction of watching 10 update videos on the colony with a 2/20th of the time.
@Griffalow
I would choose Camponotus, there diversity makes them really interesting, some are giants, some are tiny some live in wood. They are just so incredible
@delly_4755
I have to agree with you bull ants would definitely have to be my pick. there behaviour and size is incredible but I also really enjoy it when there in the founding stage when you need to make sure the queen brings the insect back to the nest.
@thesmalllives
Yes! I have been waiting for another video of yours and I can not wait for what is to come!
@nunya7154
I'd have to go for iridomyrmex, I had a colony of meat ants a couple of years ago and they definitely kept me on my toes. I just love all the little quirks they have while still being crazy energetic and eating everything I put in their enclosure. I gave them away when school got a bit intense but i'm looking to get back into it, awesome to see you posting again btw.
@Minerafter9
Well if I could only keep one species of ant it would definitely by myrmecia. They are solo hunters, (it is fun to watch them hunt live food), they are big in size, there are lots of different species and some that have rarely been documented or looked at ( it is cool discovering the ways the ants do things and being the first one to do so) and lastly almost all species are in Australia so it is like a special opportunity that not many people have.
@EntoClash
This video is absolutely amazing. it’s funny, informative and entertaining! Can’t believe I only just found your channel!
@OffYourTopic
I love watching the beginning stages of an ant colony, the growth is always so satisfying
@antsandmoreaustralia
The only genus I would keep if I had to would also be myrmecia as I believe they are the most interesting and fun ant to watch. Almost like you can see them thinking. And they look badass!
@jackkerr3798
Camponotus all the way, they come in so many different shapes, sizes and colours while sporting so much unquie behavour throughout their genus such as tandem running, polymorphism, the size of some repletes. They are just so stunning of an ant genus. Plus the size of them makes them wonders to be enjoyed
@felixnguyen7914
glad youre back
@Tri-Ant
I'd keep camponotus as the only genus for the rest of my life since the genus camponotus has the largest amount of species compared with all other genus. Also the species of this genus are very variied. There are big ones, smaller ones, yellow ones, black ones, black ones with red pigmentation and many many more. (Btw i dont join the giveaway)
@ryanberry5020
Mate id have to agree with you. Im still yet to keep one but i do have one on the way. Nigrocincta would definatly have to be one of my faves. Buut in saying that im loving the look of suffuses atm. Got the hard questions man 😂😂
@beaverdam1199
He's back! Love too see these vids mate! and some verys cool sugar ants
@thesmalllives
Yes I am for Australia and my answer is probably the very popular answer: the Camponotus Genus. I like it because of its calm and curious personality, as well as the easy keeping generally speaking with that category of ants. Though it comes very close with other species I enjoy, like Iridomerymex Pupureus because of bold and territorial behaviour and all the Myrmecia ants for obvious reasons. My favourite is specifically banded sugar ants for their size and over all curious demeanour. PS: I hope I spelt all those names correctly.
