AntWorks Illuminated

AntWorks is better and brighter than ever - Now you can light up your ants' lives with the Illuminated AntWorks kit! Choose from 3 vivid gel colors and corresponding LED illumination to highlight the beautiful tunnels and ant activity in the habitat's nutrient gel - and get a glimpse into what your ants are up to at night.

AntWorks gel habitats are something to behold! Watch ants create 3-D tunnels in the special, translucent nutrient gel. Since the gel provides food and water for the ants, they require no care - they're the perfect pets! The gel habitat was born from a 2003 NASA experiment to study animal life in space.

To begin, simply prod little starting holes in the non-toxic gel. Now get out and catch about 15 ants to populate the colony, or have them delivered for $3.00 with the enclosed order form. Put them in the AntWorks, replace the lid...and watch - within days the ants will burrow out an amazing 3-D pattern of channels, each clearly visible in cross-section through the walls of the container.

Besides providing a safe, ecologically correct habitat, the gel also provides the ants' food and water. Maintenance is minimal: You simply need to open the lid for a moment every now and again to aerate the interior, and occasionally clean the top.
