Wenn das Herz der Kolonie krank wird | Atta mexicana Umzug

What happens when the heart of a leafcutter ant colony malfunctions? In leafcutter ants like Atta mexicana, the survival of the entire colony depends on a single organism: their fungus. But what happens when the conditions are no longer right? In this video, we follow the complete relocation of an approximately 1.5-year-old Atta mexicana colony to a new system. Together, we analyze why the existing setup became increasingly problematic, the role of humidity, waste disposal, and microclimate—and what you absolutely must consider when relocating a leafcutter ant colony. We not only demonstrate the sensitive handling of the ants but also follow the colony's development over several weeks. How does the fungus react to the move? Does the colony recover? And how can you tell that something is wrong with leafcutter ants? 🐜 More about ant keeping & formicariums: ANTSTORE: https://www.antstore.net ANTCUBE: https://www.antcube.shop #AttaMexicana #LeafcutterAnts #Ants #Antstore #Formicarium #Ants #AntKeeping #LeafcutterAnts #Atta #Documentation
