Ultisol II Ant Nest

Ultisol II Ant Nest

Discovering and learning about the fascinating life of ants from the comfort of your own home could not be easier. The Ultisol II is a large, ergonomic formicarium (that's ant farm to you and I) which simulates a series of naturalistic chambers and tunnels that would otherwise only be found deep underground within an established ant colony. 

Through the clear, see-through glass you can watch how the ants designate their own living quarters. Some species such as Harvester Ants may prefer to use the larger chambers as larders to store their seeds whilst Primitive Jumping Ants will use these to nurture their growing young larvae!

Observing how ants communicate with each other as they diligently scout and search for food in their designated foraging chamber that's included in the kit, will surely provides hours of entertainment. 

The Ultisol II Ant Nest is suitable for larger colonies that require an upgrade from the Ultisol I Ant Nest. Almost all species of ants are suitable, from Common Black Garden Ants such as Lasius niger to granivorous seed harvesters such as Messor barbarus to pre-historic looking, exotic species such as Harpegnathos venator.
