    I have been hooked on this thing since this morning, you get a magnifying glass so it helps. There are even little baby ants in the larve SP? stage. I will update the photos with any changes they make.

    Cool thread and Ant farm!.. Lol., excellent idea to show us the stages of "Ant Life" !.. This should make for an interesting thread, and should be cool to see the Ant works develop as time goes on!

    You can't buy a queen but ah well. The ants have put all the eggs together into a pile and are now sitting on them while 10 or so ants are digging the tunnels. This ant farm is ment to be based on some NASA technology as the tunnels dont fall down on themselves.

    oh and for a useless fact there are ment to be 1,666,666 ants to every 1 human . Madness!

    If you don't have a queen, then where did the larvae come from?? Through the post?

    If they eat the gel, I guess you'd run out eventually. Do you just buy more and stick that in? It's like big brother, but better - what more could you want?

    You cant buy more gel, you would just have to buy another antfarm but at £20 they are fantastic value.

    I hope you like the new photo, I wonder how long its gonna be unitl they hatch.

    Yeah, needs a Queen, to keep the thing going. That would be boss, ninja gaiden, gangsta pimp (really good).

    Maybe but then I would run out of gel and the poor sods would die a horrible death after turning on themselves

    Dont ants like sugar or is that just bees and wasps? Actually that is a good idea once the tunnels have started to take shape I will introduce a leaf or two and see what happens.

    Sugar yes. Get a bit of sugar, mixed with a bit of water so its like a goop, and the little geezers will go cock-a-hoop for it. Find ants wondering in your garden, put it down roughly in their path, come back 30 minutes later, and they'll be an easy to follow line of ants, coming from their nest to the goop and back.

    Ba-ba-ba-ba-baaa... Their lovin' it!
