Ant farm (ant habitat)

An ant farm, or ant habitat, is a glass or plastic enclosure designed to observe ant colonies. It often contains tunnels, chambers, and a Mealworm or sugar source to mimic their natural environment. These habitats allow you to watch ants build intricate tunnels, communicate, and carry out daily tasks. They are valuable for education and interest in entomology, providing insight into ant behaviors and colony dynamics, while requiring minimal maintenance. Proper design ensures good airflow, moisture, and food supply, creating a sustainable environment for the ants to thrive and be studied.
