Understanding the Intrigacy of Ants Formicariums
Formicariums for ants made of glass. Our ANTCUBE glass formicarium is also available in combination with Ytong or plaster nests. Glass is a sustainable material that lasts a long time without scratching too quickly or becoming milky. Also, unlike acrylic or plastic, glass is heat and moisture-resistant.
The sizes of the starter sets (S, M, L) differ only in the distance between the plates of the ant farm and the size of the holes for connection to ant arenas and other ant farms (both matching the size of the ant species).
S = 6mm for small species like Myrmica
M = 10mm for medium species like Lasius and Formica
L = 20mm for large species such as Camponotus with nest insert and also for smaller ant species.
Incredibly captivating, Ants Formicariums are usually a hit with nature enthusiasts. These miniature ecosystems give us a detailed glimpse into the busy lives of ants, displaying their intricate tunnel systems and comprehensive organization. By understanding their behavior and interaction in these formicariums, we can gain deeper knowledge about this amazing insect species.
Setting up an ants formicarium can be a rewarding process. It's not just about the aesthetic appeal, but providing a proper habitat for the ants also plays a huge role. While prepared formicariums are easily available, some enthusiasts prefer creating their own. Ant formicariums commonly involve layers of soil, sand, or a similar substrate. These layers allow ants to burrow and create tunnels, replicating their natural environment. Lighting options allow owners to observe the ants without disturbing them.
But, why are ants formicariums so popular? The answer is simple. They offer a slice of nature that you can observe up close, without causing any harm to the ants or their habitat. While ants can be pests in your home, in a formicarium, they are fascinating creatures to observe. So, whether you are an ant enthusiast, a teacher looking for a new classroom addition, or someone interested in ecosystems, an ants formicarium can be an informative and enjoyable venture.
