CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the name of the box for raising ants? (What is the name of the box for raising ants? Picture)

1. Can transparent plastic boxes raise ants?

Transparent plastic boxes can raise ants.

Ants are 2 to 20 mm long, with knee-shaped antennae, 9 to 10 segments, and 1 to 2 tubercles at the base of the abdomen, making them the easiest to identify. They live in a "social life" with obvious polymorphism. Each colony has male ants, female ants, and female worker ants with underdeveloped reproductive systems (some species of worker ants have soldier ants with well-developed upper jaws). Most species of female ants and male ants have wings, while worker ants and soldier ants are wingless.

Ants are omnivores. Some species prey on insects, some eat plant seeds, some eat honeydew secreted by aphids and scale insects, and some feed exclusively on fungi. Indoors, ants often eat human food.

2. Is the Ant Eco-Box Homemade?

Get two glass jars with lids. You will need a large jar and a small jar that fits inside the large jar. The soil and ants will be placed between the large and small jars. The small jar will take up space in the middle so that the ants will build tunnels and lay eggs close to the outside edges, making it easy to watch. If you skip this step, the ants will build their nests deeper in the middle of the jar, which is their natural need.

Several canning jars of different sizes will fit perfectly in this design. You can make your ant farm as big or small as you like.

Look for bottles that have no patterns, prints, or raised numbers or letters. Smooth, clear glass will give you the best view of the ants.

If you prefer a flat ant enclosure, check your local pet store for a small glass aquarium. You can also order a custom ant enclosure from an online retailer.

3. Tutorial on making an ant nest?

1Ant nests can be made with fast food boxes. Make a few small holes in the ant box to facilitate the ants' entry and exit, reproduction, and division of nests.

2 Put some dried grass into the ant box and keep it loose. The amount of grass should be level with the box opening, not too much or too little. At the same time, be careful not to cut the grass in the box.

3 Ants can also be placed in fast food boxes. The green ant attractant on the ant is the smell that ants like in nature, and the black one is a kind of oil, which can play a role in moisture prevention. This foldable modern ant can make ants live in harmony like neighbors.

4 Ant nests come in various forms. Most species build nests in the ground, digging tunnels, chambers and dwellings, and piling up the excavated materials and leaves near the entrance to form a hillock for protection. Some ants also use plant leaves, stems, petioles, etc. to build paper-like nests and hang them on trees or rocks.

5 Some ants live in rotten wood in forest areas. What is even more special is that some ants build their nests in or next to the nests of other species of ants; and the two "families" do not have any disputes and can live in harmony. This kind of ant nest is called a mixed ant nest, which is actually a symbiosis of different species.

6 Regardless of whether they are of different ants or the same species, the number of ants in a nest can vary greatly. The smallest colony has only dozens or nearly a hundred ants, and some have thousands of ants, while large colonies can have tens of thousands or even more ants.

4. How to raise ants using empty ink sac boxes?

Put ants and food into the empty ink sac box, take good care of them, and you can raise ants.

5. How to make a nest of the black spiny ant?

1. We need to prepare an acrylic box.

2. Punch a hole on the lid of the box, and then cut the wire mesh. This kind of wire mesh is dense and ants can't crawl out. Use a glue gun to stick the wire mesh and the lid, and then a mini nest is basically ready.

3. Make a round opening on the belly of the acrylic box, put the protective wire into it, and then put the test tube into it, and it is basically done. The last step is to put the ants in it. We can also put some dead leaves in the mini nest, because dead leaves are the materials that ants like to use to build nests in nature.

6. How long can an ant castle last?

Step/Method 1

In 10 years, the ant castle will grow larger and larger. Ants have a long life span and reproduce very quickly. Worker ants can live from a few weeks to 3 to 10 years, while queen ants can live for more than ten years or even more than 100 years. An ant nest is shown in the figure below.

Step/Method 2

Ant castles can last a long time. Worker ants can live from a few weeks to 3-10 years, and queen ants can live for more than ten years or even decades, as shown in the figure below.

7. What is a bio-bottle?

As the name suggests, a bio-bottle is a bottle that holds living things. The most common one is the bio-bottle that holds ants.

Features of Ant Bio Bottle:

1. Fill it with soft glue. (To make it easier for ants to dig holes)

2. It will enlarge, medium and small ants. (It is convenient for people to see more types of ants)

In busy daily life, I hope everyone can buy a bio bottle, which can not only express your love, but also make you take everything more seriously!

8. Which type of nest is best for raising ants?

Use acrylic nest.

advantage:

1. Highly ornamental, the acrylic nest is made of artificial materials and has delicate shapes.

2. Moisturizing and adding water are simple. It is difficult to control the amount of water added to the gypsum nest, but it is much simpler to add water to the PVC cotton. (Some acrylic nests do not have a moisturizing design)

3. It has a long service life. Even if it becomes very dirty after being used for a long time, it can be restored to its original appearance by just cleaning.

4. Most of them have partition expansion design, which can control the size of the ant nest as the ant colony grows.

9. What kind of ants should I raise with acrylic ant nests?

Keep a pet ant!

Using acrylic nests to raise ants is now the mainstream ant nest solution, but its advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

advantage:

1. Highly ornamental, the acrylic nest is made of artificial materials and has delicate shapes.

2. Moisturizing and adding water are simple. It is difficult to control the amount of water added to the gypsum nest, but it is much simpler to add water to the PVC cotton. (Some acrylic nests do not have a moisturizing design)

3. It has a long service life. Even if it becomes dirty after being used for a long time, it can be restored to its original appearance by just cleaning.

4. Most of them have partition expansion design, which can control the size of the ant nest as the ant colony grows.

shortcoming:

1. The price is relatively expensive, and DIY is difficult. It requires basic drawing and design knowledge using CAD and other software.

2. The surface is too smooth and is not suitable for raising ants with poor climbing ability, such as fierce ants.

3. The soil has a low similarity to the natural environment, lacks medium humidity and only has air humidity, which is exactly what some ants need.

4. The new nest has a strong glue smell and needs to be cleaned and ventilated before use.
