Do you think that this box (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PC4KNFS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details) is big enough to house a colony for its first formicarium if set up in the manner shown here:

I have actually bought that exact box, but it is not very see-through, and it's kind of blurry. try searching for acrylic display cases. I think a 4"x4"x4" box would be good.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
