Antopia

Antopia refers to the backyard area of the Ant House. The region is teaming with life, and contains many ant species of both native and invasive origins. Antopia is special since it not a creation of Mikey, but rather a wild region observed and followed by the viewers.

History
Although Antopia was first introduced in a video about the Ant House in October 2020, and the concept of the Great Antopian War was introduced in December of that year, the region had existed and the war had started long before Mikey bought the land to build on.

Ever since its first appearance, Mikey had been providing constant updates on Antopia, even discovering that an ant species known as Meranoplus bicolor had existed in the Philippines where it hadn't been documented before.

In March, 2021 Mikey bought the neighboring plot of land, thus doubling the size of Antopia. He did this to avoid having to get a permit to observe and collect ants in the area, and as a 4 million subscriber special. The new land has three distincts regions; The Forest Edge, containing Meranoplus bicolor ants, the Forest Ravine, containing Polyrhachis Saevissima, a Crematogaster species, and the Creek Path, where the rare Dilobocondyla carinata can be found.

The Dilobocondyla sp. that he found has been documented in the Philippines before, but not on the island of Luzon, where Antopia is, marking this as the second ant discovery made by Antscanada in Antopia.
