Look good! Would love to do something along those lines for my solenopsis but they are extremely good escape artists so I can't have a open out world. :(

Re: Ant Nest Casting

For its original idea of pouring concrete in it and then digging it up to see how the structure of the nest was I thought it was a great idea. But now that its a "cool" thing to do and also everyone's trying to make money off of it as "Art" I think its stupid and very destructive!

Re: New Lasius Neoniger Queen

Check at arts and crafts stores and also hobby shops. I didn't think they would have them but they did. Also any type of science stores (especially one with kids science project kits) they carry them too.

Re: Barrier Trouble

Fluon/PTFE is what I'm going to use about 2" down from the top of my Out world, but I also have Solenopsis ants) so my out world has a lid on it so they can not escape. That's not a species you want escaping at all! LOL

Re: Beginer

You can make your own, there are ton's of videos out there on how to make your own nest/Formicarium. One of the most common and easy ones to make is using plaster-a-paris. It's cheap and easy.
