It's a 3d-printed nest from SimAnts.de - it's similar to a hybrid nest but about twice the size and modular (at the top you can see a module for a heating cable, another entrance is plugged with one of the 3 plugs that come with the nest and another one has the test tube attached). The best thing about them is that you can easily stick them together endlessly (like you could do a 4x4 square of them, if you chain the heating modules on the same side you could theoretically even heat the entire side of 4 nests as long as you have a cable that's long enough).
The Outworld is essentially a glass aquarium with two holes at the sides. I bought a top frame and applied the barrier there so that there's no ugly-looking white film on the sides. This works with my Camponotus as they're too large to squeeze through between the container and the frame.
