I spotted a species in my giant rainforest vivarium, that could end my whole ecosystem project for good, but the true mystery of its identity required the help of scientists to classify the animal appropriately and determine whether or not the creature was truly a threat to the vivarium and all its creatures within, or if it simply was a false alarm. Hope you enjoy this episode on ant taxonomy and the dangers of invasive species on ecosystems. Special thanks to Dr. Davide General and Perry Buenavente from UPLB National Museum of Natural History Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
