You'll never tire of watching these ants "gelling out" in their see-thru tunnels.

AntWorks™ is the ultimate high-tech ant farm. It's a fun and educational way to watch one of the most fascinating insects on the planet. The attractive clear plastic case contains a space-age see-thru gel, which is the ants' unique habitat. Colored LED lights bathe the ants in a soft glow.

The AntWorks™ special gel is more than just the ants' walls, ceiling and floor. It's their food and water too. The gel provides almost everything they need to survive, so you don't have to worry about a feeding schedule. Once you put the ants inside you simply open the lid every week or two, to let some air in. That's it.

These pets make even a goldfish seem like a lot or work! Plus, ants aren't like furry four-legged pets that shed on your couch and jump on visitors. These six-legged friends (ants!) rarely misbehave.

AntWorks™ is a great way to recreate a NASA experiment, right on your desktop. The safe, non-toxic gel is based on a 2003 NASA space shuttle experiment to study how ants tunnel in microgravity. And with a choice of green, red, or blue LED lights, AntWorks™ makes a great nightlight.

Ant Facts No 1

Ants are one of the oldest living creatures on earth. Like sharks, they haven't changed much in millions of years. Nature got it right first time, proving the old axiom "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Ant Facts No 2

Ants are the world's strongest creature in relation to their size. They can carry 10-20 times their bodyweight. They are also the longest living of all insects.

Ant Facts No 3

At any given moment, there are at least 10¹⁵ ants living on earth. (That's a number so large -- and involving more zeros than is polite to use in mixed company -- that there isn't even a word for it. A lot is just woefully inadequate). Anyway, that represents 0.1% of all the planet's insects.
