Based directly on a student experiment that flew on the Space Shuttle, AntWorks replicates the same systems used to test how ants could tunnel in the microgravity environment of space. Instead of sand or dirt, this space-tech ant hill uses gel as the medium for the insects home. The gel also serves as a source of nutrition, which means you never need to feed the ants. Watch in amazement as ants live, work and tunnel in the non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels. The clear wall construction and transparent gel used by AntWorks allows observation from all sides. Included is a voucher for a free vial of ants or you can catch your own.
