The arena stands on a display so that it is higher than the nesting area. The bottom is the nesting part. Both the nesting part and the arena can be expanded on both sides. So, over time, you can build an enormous ant city.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ant Farm sand is suitable for both small and large ant species, including Messor and Lasius. The separate outworld makes it easy to feed the colony with fruit flies and sugar water or honeydew (and the seed mix for harvester ants.
