1,000 Ants vs. Challenges

What did you think?

Video summary

Press to jump

0:23The colony enters a flat dirt nest and begins digging toward a layer containing crickets and jelly food.
3:52A suspended string bridge takes the ants above an aquarium of water-shooting archerfish.
9:07A multi-room course presents honeycomb, flies and packed dirt, with cracks offering unintended shortcuts.
11:50The final challenge places glue webs between the ants and a prize platform guarded by a jumping spider.
15:40The outcome of the jumping-spider challenge arrives.

The bridge is a suspended string, and the fish below can shoot water. TerraGreen calls this stretch of his ant obstacle course the "Archer Fish Bridge of Doom." When some ants fall into the aquarium, he interrupts his commentary with a question: "Wait, is it cheating if I save these guys?"

Posted in July, "1,000 Ants vs. Challenges" is gaining roughly 190,000 views a day, more than twelve times its usual daily pace. It is an older upload having a fresh burst of attention while TerraGreen's November spider comparison is also drawing viewers.

The ant video starts underground rather than over water. A flat dirt nest lets the camera follow the colony digging toward crickets and jelly food. "I did not expect them to dig all of this out overnight," TerraGreen says as the tunnels develop.

From there, his homemade courses become increasingly elaborate: the aquarium crossing, a multi-room gauntlet with a packed dirt barrier, then glue webs leading toward a platform guarded by a regal jumping spider. The ants don't always follow his intended route. Cracks in the gauntlet offer shortcuts through the construction.

That tension between the planned course and the colony's own movements carries into the comments. Viewers discuss the tunneling and suggest that ants turning back may be returning to communicate with the colony. Others joke about how absurdly large TerraGreen's future ant challenges might become.

Another part of his animal catalog reached a milestone alongside this resurgence: "I Got The World's Largest Pets..." has passed ten million views.

Respect to the guy who counted every single ant

The tunnel challenge was my favorite part — watching the colony reroute and keep digging while the crickets tore through the tunnels really shows how they problem-solve as one unit.
