Illuminated AntWorks® - A Space Age habitat for ants…
The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is a new product based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle flight which carried experiments designed to study animal life in space. One experiment was to test if ants would be able to tunnel successfully in microgravity. Now you have the opportunity to benefit from this space age experiment!
The Illuminated AntWorks® combines the orginal AntWorks® habitat with the extremely popular blue LED illuminator.
The Illuminated AntWorks® habitat is a completely self contained environment for ants. It is unlike anything you have ever experienced before! Remember when ant farms were filled with sand and required feeding and watering to keep the ants healthy? Those limitations are all in the past.
The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat comes prefilled with a special gel. This translucent gel is complete with all the necessary nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new ant colony. The gel also provides a level of stability the old sand filled ant farms can’t possibly match. While it is never a good idea to shake your ant habitat, if it is somehow inadvertently bumped it won’t cause the tunnels to collapse, burying your worker ants in the process.
The clear gel in the AntWorks® ant habitat also provides a truly unmatched, 3-D view of your ant colony. Watch your ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels.
The addition of the bright blue LED illuminator provides a whole new viewing experience. The blue light highlights the tunnels running through the translucent gel, providing the perfect accent lighting, day or night.
The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is EASY to care for. In fact it is virtually maintenance free. There is no need to add food or water to the Illuminated AntWorks® habitat. Ants housed in the Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat are truly no fuss, no muss, no bother pets! The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat includes an order form to receive a supply of live ants by mail.*
Simply place your ants in the Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat, secure the lid and let time and nature do the rest. Enjoy countless hours of interesting observation of some of natures smallest, strongest, and most entertaining engineers.
Suitable for ages 8+, adult assistance recommended.

Feature | Your Benefit | |
|
| Gel filled Tunneling Medium… | • The gel provides all of the nutrition and water your ants need to stay healthy.
• The translucent gel allows you to view the entire 3 dimensional aspect of your ant's tunnels.
• The gel provides a virtually maintenance free habitat, no feeding, just an occasional cleanup as required. | |
|
| Tip Resistant… | The curved shape of the Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat provides a stable, tip resistant base. In the event your Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is somehow tipped over, the stable gel tunneling medium prevents tunnel collapse and prevents your ants being buried as would happen in traditional sand filled ant habitats. | |
|
| Break Resistant… | The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is made of durable high impact plastic to prevent breakage and the subsequent escape of your ant colony. | |
|
| Escape Proof… | The tightly sealing cover of the Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is equipped with two tiny air holes that are far too small to allow a Harvester ant to pass through. In the event you use your Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat to house a smaller species of ant, simply close off the hole with a small piece of clear tape. | |
|
| Live Ant Viewer… | Children learn to study and appreciate ants without having to confine or harm them. The Illuminated AntWorks® ant habitat is a remarkable tool for teaching appreciation for all life. | |
