Product Information

Watch ants live and burrow into the highly nutritious transparent non toxic gel, creating an amazing pattern of tunnels. Antquariums were developed from NASA technology and created to study and understand the development of animal life without gravity. The gel has special properties ensuring it does not compress and crush the ants by the immense G-forces during NASA Space Shuttle take off. May 2000 saw Space Shuttle S.T.S. 107 circumnavigate the earth with the antquariums on board. The transparent gel allowed NASA scientists to observe and study the ants during the space flight.

The Antquarium makes a fun and educational gift for people of all ages, and a wonderful decorative or conversation piece. Most of the ants found in town or the countryside can be inserted into the container. Every ant will create a different series of channels inside the container, giving you the chance to discover the fascinating life of these insects. Besides being their house, the gel is also their food.

Included in this brilliant package is an ant catching kit, care instructions and special information on ants. An excellent gift for the science minded or anyone who can appreciate something unique.
