This unique system mimics the actual layout of leaf-cutter ant colonies in the tropics. The 4 spherical pods and the tubing that connects them together are life-size replicas of the chambers and passageways that the ants would normally construct underground, and are tinted red, so that the ants believe they are in total darkness, even though they can easily be observed going about their daily routine. Soil, plants and worms can also be added to the pods, creating a fascinating mini eco-system.
Please note: Ants are not included in the kit. Instructions are given on how to find them in the wild; alternatively order ants from our preferred supplier.
