Ant Farm Color: Clear Size: A Includes: 1x ant nest, excluding other accessories Key benefits Direct observation of ant colony behavior and life cycle: watch foraging, drinking, nest building and egg laying in a clear, contained environment. Educational and practical: supports handson exploration of entomology, ecology and biology for students, hobbyists and curious minds. Realistic, moistureretaining habitat: materials and design mimic natural conditions to support stable ant activity. Features and materials Material composition: permeable concrete, model gypsum, volcanic stone, calcium sand and desert sand. Gypsum nesting material provides good moisture retention for a stable microenvironment. Permeable concrete and mixed sands create a substrate similar to ants natural habitat, allowing natural digging and tunnel formation. Clear construction offers unobstructed viewing of tunnels and colony tasks. Nest cover plate uses a magnetic design for easy removal and reattachment. Red shading sheet can be inserted as needed to reduce light exposure and help ants feel more secure. Function and performance Designed to support core ant behaviors: foraging for food, drinking, nest construction and egg laying, enabling intuitive observation of social organization and division of labor. Durable substrate materials maintain structure and moisture balance while allowing visible tunnel patterns to form. Simple access via magnetic cover facilitates feeding, cleaning and observation without disturbing the colony. Practical applications Classroom science experiment: use as a demonstration tool to teach life cycles, social behavior and ecosystem basics in biology lessons. Home education and hobby keeping: raise and observe ants as a lowmaintenance pet project that encourages curiosity and responsible care. Field observation and study: a portable, clear nest for hobby entomologists to document behavior and colony development. What is included and compatibility Includes one ant nest unit only. Other accessories such as ants, food, tools and habitat stands are not included. Size A and clear color provide a standard observation setup; confirm size A meets your space and species requirements before introducing a colony. Usage notes Insert the red shading sheet to reduce light stress on the colony. Handle the magnetic cover gently to avoid sudden disturbances. Maintain appropriate moisture levels in the gypsum substrate to support ant activity. This ant farm provides a realistic, viewable habitat that supports educational observation and practical ant keeping while using materials that retain moisture and resemble a natural substrate.
