Product description A compact, durable habitat for clear, hands-on observation of ant behavior. Built from acrylic and glass with breathable mesh, this enclosure combines visibility, airflow, and safe containment to study ants living, working and digging in a nutrient-rich environment. Key benefits Clear observation: Acrylic and glass walls provide unobstructed viewing from multiple angles so you can watch tunnels, foraging, and colony activity in detail. Safe and breathable: A sealed structure with breathable mesh maintains airflow while preventing escapes. Educational and practical: Designed to support scientific projects, classroom demonstrations, and home learning by making ant behavior easy to observe and record. Quality construction: Fine workmanship and environmentally friendly materials offer a reliable, reusable habitat. Features and specifications Materials: Acrylic, glass, breathable mesh; environmentally friendly construction. Purpose: Designed specifically for ant behavior observation — living, working and digging in a nutrient-rich environment. Size (external): 14 x 14 x 15 cm (5.5 x 5.5 x 5.9 inches). Active area size (internal observation area): 14 x 8.5 x 7 cm (5.5 x 3.3 x 2.7 inches). Function: Suitable for observing colony organization, digging behavior, feeding, and other ant activities for teaching or research. Practical applications (use scenarios) Classroom science: Use as a demonstration habitat for lessons on ecosystems, social insects, food chains, and animal behavior. Home education and hobbies: Keep a small colony to study life cycles, tunnel construction, and teamwork, ideal for student projects and nature study. Scientific observation and projects: Conduct controlled observations or simple experiments on ant activity, food preferences, or colony development. Why customers choose this product Designed specifically for observation: The combination of clear walls and a defined active area makes it easy to follow ant behavior without disturbance. Compact and transportable: Its small footprint fits on desks, lab tables, or windowsills for everyday use. Educational focus: Enables clear, repeatable observations useful for curricula, science fairs, and independent study. Care and use notes Follow proper husbandry for the ant species you keep, including appropriate food and moisture to maintain the nutrient-rich environment mentioned. Ensure vents remain clear for airflow and check seals to prevent escapes. Clean glass and acrylic surfaces gently to maintain visibility and avoid scratching. Dimensions recap External: 14 x 14 x 15 cm (5.5 x 5.5 x 5.9 inches) Active/internal observation area: 14 x 8.5 x 7 cm (5.5 x 3.3 x 2.7 inches) This habitat provides a practical, well-made platform for observing ant colonies and carrying out educational or scientific activities with small ant groups.
