Michael "Mikey" John Yadan Tumanguil Pestano Bustos (born: June 23, 1981 (1981-06-23) [age 42]), better known online as AntsCanada (or BustosAntsCanada), is a Canadian YouTuber. It started out as a place for him to document the development of his ant colonies, as well as video tutorials on how to raise ant colonies before transitioning into more ep...
Mikey Bustos was born in the Weston neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario and raised in Canada to Filipino parents. In his early 20s, he became a contestant on the first season of Canadian Idol, which earned him popularity all over the country. He eventually made it to the finals where he won 7th place overall. Afterwards, Bustos has starred in various television and radio shows, as well as releasing various musical albums.
Asides from AntsCanada, Bustos has three other YouTube channels. They are his personal channel Mikey Bustos, his music channel Mikey Bustos Music, and his vlog channel MikeyBustosVLOGS.
Bustos developed a fascination with ants while he was still living in Canada. He uploaded his first video on July 14, 2009 (the same day he opened the channel) which documents his newfound Myrmica rubra ant colony. Since then, the channel started to evolve to showing tutorial videos on how to maintain a healthy ant colony.
In late 2016, the channel saw a boost in popularity. With the channel gaining more views, the videos slowly started to turn episodic in nature. Bustos started to give the audience and fans (which he calls the AC Family) a closer look into the lives of ants and, when he calls for it, gives them a choice as to what he should do to help improve the living conditions of his colonies. And in late August of 2017, the AntsCanada ant channel reached 1 million subscribers.
As of March 9, 2021, Bustos currently has 3 ant colonies that he documents on the channel. They are colonies of Fire Ants (Phoenix Empire), Yellow Crazy Ants (Golden Empire), and Asian Bullet Ants (Black Panthers, 2nd generation).
The following is a list of various previously kept ant colonies:
•AntsCanada was been nominated for the 2020 tenth annual Streamy Awards in the Documentary and Creator Products categories. The Streamy Awards took place on December 13, 2020.
•Mikey has been featured in DiaTabs commercials in the Philippines two times as the main character; first being Boyet, the second being himself.
•Depsite his namesake, Mikey cares for a variety of other animals, including sugar gliders, an emerald boa, a tarantula, and a dog.
•He is also developing an outdoor animal sancturary for injured wildlife.
•1 million subscribers: August 28, 2017.
•2 million subscribers: July 26, 2018.
•3 million subscribers: July 6, 2019.
•4 million subscribers: March 8, 2021.
