Ant Works Desktop Ant Colony

An ant colony on your desktop You bet! Based on a NASA Space shuttle experiment to see how ants would tunnel in micro gravity. Ant Works is a self contained ant habitat that requires no additional food or water. Simply insert ants into the clear nutrient gel, secure the lid and let the 3 D tunnelling show begin! Either collect your own ants or order via mail ordering details included in packaging... The Ant Works is filled with a highly nutritious non toxic gel into which you prod four little holes to get the tunnel network started. Now get out into the garden or park and catch about 15 ants to populate the colony. Put them in the Ant Works, replace the lid... and watch. Within days the ants will burrow out an amazing pattern of channels, each clearly visible in cross section through the walls of the container. Maintenance is minimal. Besides providing a safe ecologically correct habitat, the gel also provides the ants' food. You simply need to open the lid for a moment once a month to aerate the interior.
