Ant-O-Sphere
This unique system mimics the actual layout of leaf-cutter ant colonies in the tropics. The 4 spherical pods and the tubing that connects them together are life-size replicas of the chambers and passageways that the ants would normally construct underground.
Some of the spherical pods are tinted red so that the ants believe they are in darkness or very low light, allowing them to be easliy observed going about their daily routine. Soil plants and worms can also be added to the pods, creating a fascinating mini eco-system.
For ages 6 years and over.
Size of Ant-O-Sphere when built: 300mm x 300mm x 340mm

Please note: Ants are not included in the kit. Instructions are given on how to find them in the wild; alternatively order ants from our preferred supplier.
