Caterpillars, butterfly garden refill
Your own butterfly garden at home
Become part of nature and witness the wonder of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Right before your eyes! Order your caterpillar refill for 3-5 caterpillars here.
Breeding
In the butterfly garden, you can breed your own butterflies. Between March and September, you can order a caterpillar refill here. We will arrange the order and payment for the caterpillars and inform you about the shipment from the breeder.
Shipping and Care
Typically, in a few weeks, you will receive 3-5 fresh caterpillars and special food delivered to your home by our breeder (in some cases, this may take a little longer, depending on breeding). Now you can really get started. Butterfly breeding can be done from March to September. The aim is for 5 caterpillars to be shipped, with a guarantee that you will receive at least 3 and that these will develop into healthy butterflies.
First, the caterpillars will eat their own food (included) so they can grow well. Then they will hang upside down in crystal-like spun cocoons. In the final phase, they will emerge as beautiful butterflies. Observe them for a few days and then release them.

Acromyrmex octospinosus 100-300
Species
The leafcutter ant, Acromyrmex octospinosus with 100-300 workers, also known as the parasol ant from South America. This species is most known worldwide for the fungus they cultivate and the large amounts of leaves they need for it.
Due to this unique behavior, they are extremely suitable for (large) zoos, specific museums, and pet stores.
These colonies are also perfectly manageable for hobbyists, as they grow to several thousand specimens (unlike Atta colonies which can reach enormous numbers (up to hundreds of thousands) of ants).
Nutrition
This species lives on a fungus. To create this fungus, the ants use various leaves. The colonies can only be picked up in our showroom, where we also provide advice on their nutrition.
Suitable for
The ant colony is only suitable if you have knowledge and experience in keeping ants. We expect to be able to offer an Ant Farm setup specifically for this species from early 2020.
Collection only
Because this is a difficult, specific species, sensitive to temperature/humidity, we do not ship it by mail. In addition, we are happy to give brief advice when purchasing such a colony.

Test Tube Cap
This is a high-quality, ventilated cap for test tubes, sizes M and L.
Application
This cap can be used instead of a cotton plug. Especially when a colony is very young (a few workers), breeding and feeding can take place in the test tube, and this cap comes in handy. The cap can also be used well during periods like winter dormancy.
Specifications
The cap has a length of approximately 3.5 cm. The inner diameter is approximately 12 mm and the outer diameter is approximately 19 mm. This means the cap can be used for all test tubes up to a diameter of 18 mm.

Ant Docking Station
Why a docking station for every nascent colony?
This is where the ant hobby begins. The ultimate start for any colony smaller than 50 workers. The small colony in a test tube needs shelter, a quiet place. Many ant species can benefit from a warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an outworld in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the outworld is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can retrieve food from the outworld and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all of this in one go.
The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony up to about 50 workers!
Specifications and use
What can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?
Custom made
The test tube L (16mm diameter and 150 mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.
Shelter for your ant colony
The lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments when you are not looking).
Ventilation in the docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated into the lid, for healthy air circulation around the test tube.
Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in multiple ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. An explanation of how it works and which temperature increases you can achieve can be found in the included instructions.
Connection to the tunnels
From the Docking Station, the ants will manage the transport through the tunnels to outworlds and new nests. The connector piece from test tube to tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.
A feast for the eyes
The Docking Station looks sleek and neat. It makes all other products currently available for a test tube obsolete. No more holders made of acrylic or wood. No more shelter from foils, pieces of cloth, cardboard, or sleeves. No more fiddling, but professional and ready for the future of your colony in one go!
What you receive
The product consists of two parts. The dock comes with a base part into which the test tube fits and a lid that closes precisely over it. A few options can be ordered immediately here at attractive offer prices!
1. A test tube with nesting provision (moisture reservoir) if you do not yet have a nesting tube, or want to replace it (see example in the photos)
2. A connector piece to connect the test tube to the tunnel tubes.
3. Half a meter of tunnel tube to connect with the outworlds and nests.
4. A heating cable to provide your ant colony with the ultimate temperature for rapid and healthy development, so that they are quickly ready for a new, additional nesting environment!

Ant's Kingdom Toolkit
Handy set of accessories to prevent any surprises.
Contents of the set:
- Closing caps 4x
- Escape prevention oil
- Pipette 4x
- Protection sleeve test tube
- Ant-Blox - Test tube connector transparent
- T connector
- Transparent hose
- Syringe 3ml with needle
- Syringe 5ml
- Tweezers
The set contains 4 pipettes, ideal for using each pipette for a different food source. Two different syringes, with and without a needle. The variant with a needle makes it easy to apply liquid in hard-to-reach places. The variant with the wider tip (5ml) is ideal for plaster and acrylic ant farms.
The various coupling materials ensure that you are never caught off guard. You can also use our closing caps to seal all our products and even connectors and hoses, as they have the same inner diameter.
No stray ants thanks to the escape prevention oil. Ants cannot get a grip on it, useful for applying under the lid of an arena. When you want to remove the lid, the ants cannot easily climb out.
Protect your test tube well with the unique protection sleeve. The queen loves a sheltered and quiet place. The sleeve provides this perfectly.
A complete toolkit that is useful for every ant keeper!
Ant's Kingdom Trucker Cap
With this cool cap, you'll no longer have the sun in your eyes and you'll look great too! The cap ventilates through the mesh at the back and is adjustable in size.
Ant-Blox test tube connector transparent
Transparency
Make your ant colony clearly visible with this fully transparent connection from the test tube (16 mm diameter) to the classic 10 mm connection hose. Please note: this test tube is only suitable for our Test Tube size L. Therefore, the connector is not suitable for test tubes other than this exact size.
For years, we have been using a black rubber connector in the ant-keeping hobby. It works fine, but there's always room for improvement! That's why, in recent years, we developed a completely new connection under our new brand Ant-Blox. With this new connector, you no longer lose space, as the connection is no longer inside the test tube; instead, you slide the Ant-Blox connector over the test tube. This prevents any damage to the test tube. The black connector could be pressed too hard (causing the plastic test tube to break). More importantly, this new connection makes everything visible; no more black sections where you don't know exactly what's happening with your ant colony.
Of course, you keep your colony well-protected in the test tube, but during weekly care, it's important and, above all, fun to be able to thoroughly check and see everything. And now, even when the nest tube is protected, you can secretly see a bit more of the transport to and from the colony—how cool is that!
We want every ant hobbyist to experience this unique new product. That's why, for a limited time, you can order 1 free connector with your purchase, so you can replace your black connector as soon as possible. This offer is valid until February 28th. Please note: We will send a maximum of 1 free connector per order!
Ready for the future? If you look closely at the connector, you'll see that there's not only a 10 mm connection point but also a larger connection possible on top (with the rubber ring). This connector is also prepared for connection using a completely new tunnel system. We will introduce this in 2025. Just as you can build with LEGO, you will soon be able to build your own ant city with the Ant-Blox tunnel system. With this connector, you are already prepared for it and will soon be able to combine your setup with the entire new Ant-Blox line.

Anti-Escape
Application
Anti-escape oil can be applied to the top edges of an ant farm to prevent the ants from escaping. It can be applied using a cotton swab.
Function
The ants cannot get a grip on the (well) applied mixture; they slip and therefore stay where you want to keep them. Only for use on smooth surfaces (plastic/glass) without corners. In a corner, ants can always (partially) gain a grip.
Composition
It is a mixture based on talcum powder, so it is not 'real' oil. The composition ensures that it can be used for a longer period (up to a year) without needing to be replaced. For a large colony or high humidity, it may be necessary to clean and reapply more often.
Antquarium LED Light Forest Ant Farm
Please note: with this product, the gel must be made by yourself (DIY) with distilled water. You are responsible for correctly preparing the gel. If you are unsure, choose the ready-made Ant's Kingdom gel Ant Farm.
This Ant Farm includes a digital (download) Booklet 'Ants are Heroes'. The printed version of the booklet can be ordered here: http://www.mierenboerderij.nl/boekje-mieren-zijn-helden.html
----- Includes LED strip and batteries -----
Ant Farm Forest
Watch how ants live and dig tunnels among the roots of plants. In the gel, the ants dig their passages, and you can also see how plants grow. You don't need to water the plants or feed the ants. Everything they need is in the gel. This version comes with an LED lighting strip and is the only one in the Netherlands to include the necessary batteries.
Antquarium
A high-tech living environment for ants. Based on the technology Nasa used to study life in a weightless environment. It is completely self-supporting; the blue gel serves as food, moisture, and shelter. The only thing you need to add to the container (18 x 14 x 3.5 cm) are the ants themselves.
Specifications
Included:
- The Antquarium Ant Farm;
- LED light strip including necessary batteries;
- our Dutch A4 instructions for preparing the gel;
- a magnifying glass to observe the ants up close;
- a stick to make the initial nest layout (very simple, just make four holes)
- and an instruction booklet with interesting facts about ants.
- Furthermore, a tube of seeds is included for growing plants. Use the seeds sparingly to prevent mold formation!
- And of course, the downloadable PDF version of our booklet 'Ants are Heroes'.
Not included:
- The ants; we recommend an ant colony. You can select and order these above with the price. You can use ants from the garden, but then catch very large numbers (50-100).
- Distilled water. For preparing the gel, you need distilled water; see also our A4 manual (included and available for download below).
In combination with an Ant Farm purchased from us and correct preparation of the gel, we guarantee that the ants will indeed dig.
How long do ants live in the Antquarium?
Ants live between 60 days and a year. If you catch or buy them, you don't know how old they are or how long they will live. On average, our ants last a few months. Sometimes we hear enthusiastic stories from people who have had ants in the gel ant farm for longer than a year. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the lifespan of ants, but if all ants die within the first two weeks, we will send a new ant colony for free (provided the gel has been prepared correctly).
How long does the gel remain a food source for the ants?
The Antquarium gel is a complete food source for ants. Since they don't eat much and even excavate and reuse the waste from the gel, they can last months to a maximum of a year. If your gel runs out, start a new Ant Farm with the Ant Farm Refills.
