Ant Spy-Camera

I wish I could have a spy camera in an ant-nest. I'd like to watch the ants do their daily tasks up in personal from my computer. Does something like this exist? Or even a way to construct such a thing?

Funny you say that! I will be setting up a Cam on my ants once I get the new formicaria. The cam I am using has IR LED's built in so it can see in the dark (Image is B/W) so that shouldn't disturb the nest. It is a wireless WiFi cam that will be connected to my home network so I can look at it at any time.

I have considered once I set it up posting a web link to it so others can pop on and see my ants any time they like. Trying to think of a catchy name for the cam... MadVampy's Mad Ant Cam? LOL
