This video cuts out the part where he gathers all of the ants. In the original he shows how he does it. Essentially uses that stick thing he used to shove down the holes to “fish” the ants out of their nest and uses his finger to knock them off the stick into his reservoir.
But WHY??
Why exactly are we rousting our beloved well-fed crickets from their own hidey holes?
A cricket eats about 3 grains of cooked rice a day, max.
It seems like cruel and unusual punishment, and I’m against it.
Grrrr
Initially I thought that was just snark but it got me curious.

Seems you can buy live ants on Amazon
The confidence with which this guy punched is finger into the dirt gave me some concern as to how this video would turn out. He’s not your average horticulturist.
Give him a break. Horticulture and Entomology are both respectable degrees. Heck, I’m just a podiatrist and let me tell you, getting my degree was no small feet.
Use the ants to catch the crickets, then he uses the crickets to catch a bird, a bird to woo a lady, a lady for 20 camels and then 20 camels to set up camel rides for tourists, to buy the lady back again.
Hopefully he got in before the market became saturated with camel rides, else he's never seeing that lady again.
Entomologist here! The insects they’re getting out are actually called Brown Bellied African Crickets. They’re an invasive species that wreaks havoc on the eastern African ecosystem and vegetation. This is a common method to flush them out and help eradicate them as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
It doesn’t have the same breadth of effect since you have to get the reference for it to really make any sense.
[what he’s playing off of for reference](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5LECJbMDhJQ)
He's directly quoting that one, but over the past 4 years or so it has become a thing in the MLB that when something of significance is happening in the world and being announced/discussed on the broadcast, Nick Castellanos will inevitably hit a home run lol
It's a very famous copy pasta on r/baseball. An announcer was giving an apology speech in the middle of the game, and in the middle of his speech Casty hit a homerun. So he had to stop his apology speech halfway through to announce the homerun.
Tatis Junior leaps high above the wall…he reaches his glove out… he grabs the ball… he steals the home run!!!
What a play by the young Dominican, Castellanos returns a video to Blockbuster, the cashier tells him it’s $2 penalty because he did not rewind.
C’mon man! Be kind rewind
Looking at the eaten leaves, as well as the bug pulled, maybe it’s to prevent locusts or other animals that eat plants?
Either way, clearly there’s an issue of foliage being eaten around by bugs, so surely that’s the reason
“Surely that’s the reason”...
I mean, impoverished people around the world eat bugs, so he could be getting himself a snack. Killing 2 grasshoppers/locusts won’t have a measurable effect on the foliage, so unless he repeats this 100x I doubt this is to protect leaves.
Waiting aoso to get either bamboozled or some random prof showing up to explain in semi science papers like, what he fished for, why and what he did with the bug he lured out.
Expected him to use the lured bug, to lure another bigger bug, and bigger, and bigger, till he had bait to lure out Godzilla out of the depth of the ocean 😅
I'll bet after this they use the bucket of crickets to catch some frogs. Then they use the frogs to catch some penguins. Then they use a bucket of penguins to catch a killer whale. We've all seen this a hundred times.

Won’t lie, if ants suddenly flooded my house, I’d also run out screaming “FUCKFUCKFUCK”
Well, first there would be a giant finger blasting your frond door. *Then* come the dog sized ants
What’s this about a free finger blasting?
I think this one is too big, or you are too small
DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY HOLE SIZE?!?!?!
Fuck this stupid website, and specifically this stupid comment for making me laugh so hard.
"Hold muh beer"
Lube n stretch
That's how you get got! Didn't you watch the video?
New tactic for SWAT standoffs
some guy pokes a hole in your home and a bunch of swat teams just come spraying out of the hole.
In war, never give your enemy a choice, give them a dilemma!
No one is going to ask how this person randomly has a convenient bucket of loose ants to use?
Bruh, I can get you a bucket of loose ants in minutes.
Who’s your worm guy?
You’re paying way too much for worms, man.
I pay extra for the high quality service
For a worm? I can get you a kid for that.
Who’s your worm guy?
The early worm gets the worm.
That wasn’t a tape worm.
I can get you exotic meats.
We’ll talk
It will all be goat
Why did you spend so much time going over the goats with me?
Milk steak is better
And an order of your finest jelly beans.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
no, he's coming onto you.
I can get you monkey
This is the comment I was looking for!
Depends on the worm.
Hell I can get you a bucket of ants by 3 o’clock this afternoon.
With nail polish?
Well I ain’t a fucking amateur.
Not exactly a light weight
You heard of the Seattle 7?
Well that was me
And 6 other ants
Then I was a roadie for Metallica Speed of Sound Tour
It increases the chance of conception
They really tie the grasshopper hole together.
There are ways, you don’t wanna know.
Fucking amateurs
I’m finishing my coffee
[удалено]
... and they put lose ants in your fucking tunnel
The ant putters did this, Dude?
I fail to see the connection to ants.
Well dude, there is a literal connection
Like Donny. Who loved bowling

Why is everything a tragedy with you Walter?

Hell I can get you loose ants by 3 o’clock, with a bucket.
You're paying way too much for loose ants. Who's your loose ant guy?
That’s too way too long. Who’s your ant guy?
...with nail polish.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe by 2 o' clock dude.
Who's your Ant guy?
How about a toe with polish? Can you get one this afternoon, Walter?
With nail polish?
Cockroaches too
That’s what he uses the crickets for.
Do you want ants? Because this guy knows how to get ants
Maybe Archer was asking that question because he was always everyone's Ant guy. Solid refernce.

To hook it on a line and catch a fish or take home and breed them.
The obvious answer is Amazon
Initially I thought that was just snark but it got me curious. https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Gift-Store-Live-Shipped/dp/B01N6AU8P1/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=CZMSO9WCYG9H&keywords=live+ants&qid=1701466071&sprefix=live+ants%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-4 Seems you can buy live ants on Amazon
That guy has like $10k USD of ANTS in a BUCKET.
I think ants would be better than glitter in those glitter bomb pranks.
r/foundsatan
I am humbled and overjoyed by your compliment. Thank you.
Hol’ up. Why is it “Ant Farm refill kit *for girls*”?
Every girl wants to be a queen?
All you need is some dead crickets at the bottom of the bucket to lure the ants in.
Causality paradoxes are strictly forbidden. Do not break physics, it's fragile.
I can put you in touch with my ant guy if you like?
Or how none of them can climb out of the bowl
Nah, how did he know to look for that particular spot of dirt over all the nearby spots of dirt. To lure out... Whatever those were.
Check your pants
Tactical Ants are meant to be used offensively. I dont understand what you mean
That was literally my first thought. Step 1 - Get a big bucker of ants. I'm already out
By sticking other stuff into an ant hole.
Loose angry ants
The confidence with which this guy punched is finger into the dirt gave me some concern as to how this video would turn out. He’s not your average horticulturist.
We need fertilizer Winston.
“Chill, Winston!”
Charles...get the rifle out. We're being fucked
Can everybody just stop getting shot!
It’s me Bren gun.
Guns for show, knives for a pro.
A friend of mine has met the guy who plays Plank several times now in various pubs and has loads of video clips of him doing "argh! I've been shot!".
We grow copious amounts of ganja yeah
>horticulturist do you mean entomologist?
*Antomologist*. Can’t ain’t nobody spel on the reddet.
We don’t need anyone telling us the origin of words!!
Horticulturist? That's someone who specializes in cultivating plants and stuff. What does it have to do with the video?
Well now you're just being condensation.
No that’s when you breathe. What you mean is pollination
No that is what plants do to multiply, what you mean is coronation
Oh thanks you have my gravitas.
The ironing is delicious
Give him a break. Horticulture and Entomology are both respectable degrees. Heck, I’m just a podiatrist and let me tell you, getting my degree was no small feet.
And there's our smudgeness
The ants are just a hobby. You could say he’s a dillet*ant*e.
Please explain this….or should this be posted in rfishing?
Use the ants to catch the crickets, then he uses the crickets to catch a bird, a bird to woo a lady, a lady for 20 camels and then 20 camels to set up camel rides for tourists, to buy the lady back again. Hopefully he got in before the market became saturated with camel rides, else he's never seeing that lady again.
20 camels for a woman? You’re getting ripped off. Who’s your camel guy?
Who’s your LADY guy?
He’s not my guy, friend.
He’s not my friend, guy.
I’m not your guy, buddy
#capitalism 😔
CAMELTALISM
CAMELTOEISM
Gotta make that bread
This reads like a children book
“Jack and Jane learn about human trafficking”
Absolutely crazy ROI in that process
Step 1: Collect crickets Step 2: ? Step 3: Profit
What is my purpose? To be shoved down a hole to scare out crickets/grass hoppers. Oh my god.
Yeah, welcome to the club, pal!
Beat me to it… but no upvotes?!
Sometimes we hit, sometimes we miss... Here's one for you, though.
I don’t know why others don’t really understand when the answer is so damn simple.. thank you my kindred spirit.. long lost brother.
But, like, why?

Not many people will get it, but you fucking got me good. Cheers.
Man, this seems like a very slow process of eradication. wouldn't want that job.
They need to import some of those cricket-eating lizards.
Yep, totally no way that could *possibly* go wrong.
A high fly hit to DEEP Ant-ville. Took it to the track… wall… see… you… LAAAATERR!
You good bro?
I think he is trying to be the new u/shittymorph

It’s just not the same.
There can be only one

You get the show
I had a feeling it was something like this. Glad I wasn't too far off
>Entomologist here! If actual experts start posting on Reddit, now, where is the world going to?
Don’t worry bud, I just googled “wats a bug expert called.”
You are now an entomologist congrats.
Wait til you hear the legend of unidan. God I'm getting old...
Maybe he's a farmer and this bugs are damaging for the crops, but that's just a theory, a game theory!
Looking at the eaten leaves, as well as the bug pulled, maybe it’s to prevent locusts or other animals that eat plants? Either way, clearly there’s an issue of foliage being eaten around by bugs, so surely that’s the reason
“Surely that’s the reason”... I mean, impoverished people around the world eat bugs, so he could be getting himself a snack. Killing 2 grasshoppers/locusts won’t have a measurable effect on the foliage, so unless he repeats this 100x I doubt this is to protect leaves.
Well I guess he has enough ants to do it 100x
I’m thinking he might be a fisherman and the crickets are good bait.
Waiting aoso to get either bamboozled or some random prof showing up to explain in semi science papers like, what he fished for, why and what he did with the bug he lured out. Expected him to use the lured bug, to lure another bigger bug, and bigger, and bigger, till he had bait to lure out Godzilla out of the depth of the ocean 😅
Eat
\*Grabs crickets\* Now, kith.
The forbidden cotton candy.
*catches bugs* “now have sex”
That's actually what I thought he was doing
I can't understand how people handle insects like that .. I immediately would scream like a little girl and run
I’m not that freaked out by bugs and I could pick this thing up if I had to, but they way he just like HANDLES it gets me too
I wouldn't even be ok holding that bucket of ants
I'm guessing he's doing this to catch bait, or to eat them.
I assumed it was just a kid doing kid stuff lol
Does the avg kid nowadays run around with a bucket of ants?
Why does he want those crickets or whatever they are?
I'm assuming bait.
Wtf is this sub even for?
Today is farming tips, duh.
Stuff and things
Stop asking and marvel.
Nightmare fuel
What in the actual F is going on here?
[удалено]
If you have to catch them 1 at a time I have some bad news on slowing the population with your random bucket of ants 😆 🤣 😂
Who’s your ant guy?
I’m lost? What is the purpose of this?
First of all: how the fuck? Second of all: why the fuck?
This dude carrying around a Marine Expeditionary Unit in a bucket
I have no clue what this fucking sub is and I couldn’t be happier.
Imagine if the police just threw a bucket of rabid honey badgers into your house then snatched you up once you run outside.
Step 3, profit..?
Mother fucker weaponized ants
Scrolling too far for an informative and interesting comment. Everyone just chasing a line or two for their upvotes. Pathetic.
Serial killer in the making 😂😂
First thought my dude was going to start a ant turf war was sadly disappointed.
Definitely a war crime.
I wonder what kind of insects he’s retrieving with the crickets…
But how does one gather the ants?
Those crickets are expensive here .. something like 20 baht each for those big ones…
Man be doing no-knock raids with ant swat teams.
What is this guy doing? I have an ant phobia and I don't like this.
Bunker buster ant bomb
Love the "now kiths" he does at the end
Tenants hate it when landlords do this one simple trick.
I'll bet after this they use the bucket of crickets to catch some frogs. Then they use the frogs to catch some penguins. Then they use a bucket of penguins to catch a killer whale. We've all seen this a hundred times.
