  2. Link several modules to each other with a bridge to continue development,
  3. Make beautiful observations in your hands: 360° observations,
  4. Guarantee the survival of your ants against dehydration,
  5. Prevent any escape,
  6. Prepare the move to a larger anthill or biotope in excellent conditions.

Ideal for: 

Young colonies of tropical ants (Harpegnatos, Carebara, Diacamma, Odontomachus, etc.) and European (Lasius, Pheidole, Messor, Camponotus, etc.). Suitable for species up to 16mm long.

 

Technical characteristics:

  • Island Concept: place the module in a large container with water for several weeks.
  • Escapes are avoided and moisture is absorbed by capillary action.
  • All in one, the top is a hunting area.
  • 100% natural with a material specially developed by Fourmiculture for the benefit of ants.
  • Close to natural porous stone, ensures a healthy support, limits bacteria.
  • A totally unique creation, each piece is handcrafted and differs from the others.

Usage tips :

  • Choose a well-sealed plastic container or aquarium filled with approximately 2cm of water.
  • Be creative if you wish and create a beautiful aqua-terrarium 🙂
  • Replace the water regularly, especially if ants throw waste into it to keep the nest clean.
  • Apply additional anti-escape to the top of the cylinder walls on the inside if you want double protection.
  • Place your nest in a warm place or use a heat lamp for optimal conditions (usually 27°C).
  • Connect several modules together if you want to take advantage of this concept on a larger scale and develop your colony for a long time.
