Atrium (Silver 102) raising queen ants Desert Mountain Foraging Area (sparse)

Desert Mountain Foraging Area (sparse)

In order for ants to store trash in the upper areas of their nest they must struggle against gravity (an unnatural behavior for ants as they bury most food inside their nest in the wild or discard it)

For tiny-small species nest

The single nest design can have either a top-mounted foraging area with magnets connecting the nest and foraging area

Atrium (Silver 102) raising queen ants Desert Mountain Foraging Area (sparse)General Information: *****Due to the size of the open chambers, this formicarium is considered a small to medium sized formicarium and can hold an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 medium sized ants, larger species such as Camponotus and Formica up to 1,000 (again, approximately). While it is quite possible some small species (Lasius spp.) will do quite well in the Atrium, estimating numbers would be quite high due to the design. This design is not intended
