If you have always wanted to see how ants go about their daily lives and colonise their habitat, you can’t go far wrong with Antworks. This particular ant colony is different from your usual ant colony as it is formed using a highly nutritious non-toxic gel. The concept for the Antworks idea of studying insect behaviour in zero gravity was first devised by NASA. Now, this can be brought right into your own home where you can study ants in their space age jelly habitat.
You can keep the ant colony at home on your kitchen table, or you can impress your friends at work by displaying it on your desk. Once you have purchased Antworks, all you need to do is order the ants (specially bred UK ants) and put them in their new home. All accessories and instructions are included. You can then watch as they burrow and get their tunnel network started. The gel actually provides food for the ants. Once a month you need to open the lid to aerate the container, but that’s it.
Your ants will make amazing interconnecting patterns of channels and would make a great educational gift for someone. Also available (separately) is an Antworks Illuminating Light to create the perfect mood.
