Ant Formicarium

thingiverse

Ant formicarium designed off the antkit series, i also designed a cover for the size 2 formicarium which i am using now and can see in the pictures, i bought an A4 sheet of acrylic which i cut to size and for the hole to put water through i got a hot needle and you just keeping piercing the acrylic until you get a hole then just widen the hole its very easy, just be careful to not leave the needle in the glass too long otherwise it will cool down and the acrylic will mold round the needle. i am currently keeping a 2 queen myrmica rubra around 30ish workers and a messor barbarus colony of around 120+ workers they both seem to love the formicariums and the water bars seem really useful for the messor colony as ive seen they put the seeds which they are about to chew next to the water to soften it up.
