AntWorks: Space Age Habitat For Ants

(6 votes, average: 4.67 out of 5)

 Loading ...

AntWorks is an ant farm made out of gel used in a 2003 experiment on the NASA Space Shuttle to study animal life. Not only is this a great place for Ants to build a colony, but it’s also very nutritious for them. This ant farm is especially cool because it looks normal during the day, but lights up at night through an LED illuminator.
