Today you’ll get a chance to see how ants live. The best way to know more about the insects is to make them stay in an artificial ant hill that can be made without any efforts.
That was the first house of the ants before they got a new and comfortable dwelling.
It consisted of a test-tube with a wet piece of cotton as worms will never survive in case of bad humidity. The box is considered as arena where they can hunt and gather food.
The queen is laying an egg.
A fine group of communists.
LOL funny thought.
No, it’s an absolute monarchy!
Aside from the strange brown blocks, an amazing gallery.
how did they catch the queen ant
egg producing animal….don’t forget where the most caviar consumers life.
Uh, why would I build them a house when they’ve invaded and occupied mine? I’d rather exile them to Siberia (or Afghanistan).
Well written and educational.Nice photography.
Neat! Great pictures! When I was a kid you could buy ready-made ant farms, but you had to get your own ants.
They cost 12 dollars. Ant are free just pay shipping.
Nice too show this here,in a topic,ones been to an animal park with a huge ant colony,between two pieces of window(10 by 10 meters)now that’s fun,different species of ants also,all with their own survival strategy,i hope human population never came to that point…..an(t)d became one without the double glass….:-)
Ants are awesome
I had such colony in my flat,balcony with kitchen. Mashyenka helped.
This is pretty interesting. You could perform experiments on them. This would be great to teach kids how to document their experiments etc…
But I think they would rather build their home. They have those clear “ant farms”, made out of some king of gelatin.
one ferilized queen creating a whole society that takes care of her and vice versa..
Nice ant house and splendid pictures, it would be a good school project to amaze the kids
I had ant colony very much like this. Complete with magnification glass. It was fun until one day I set it in sunny spot…
ants are fantastic animals.
Disgusting but fascinating post.
