Ants nest, modular formicarium

This ants formicarium consists of a nest and a hunting area. Furthermore, there is the possibility of connecting a test tube for the first stages of colony growth or for liquid feeding. The various connections allow to expand the colony. The nest is equipped with a container to insert a sponge to ensure adequate humidity. The sponge can be moistened without opening the nest and the excess water will flow into the drain containment.
