I never visualized that anting and pink finger nails went together.  :lol:

 

Interesting looking nest.  Bet it suits all of the ladies who moved into it.  :D

Nice video.

Anting for me consists of walking around my neighbourhood with my dog staring at the sidewalk. I don't bush dive. xD

 

My nails are very thin so if I don't shellac them (a very strong kind of nail polish) they tend to rip easy so I do it mostly to keep my nails from ripping. Pink sparkly nail polish. xD

Do you just let the ants crawl onto your finger nail and then shake them into a container?

I actually just put the container over them, wait until they crawl up it, and then cap it quickly.

That's the best way to do it.

This kind of setup looks really good. I don't think, there's something missing. Ok, the colour is not really mine. I'm more of the kind "strong fingernails with a black edging".

Mercutia, per your un-boxing vid that bespoke of this male-dominated hobby, you must therefore forgive me when I say that every time I see your posting photo I see the 'cutie' in your name: Me - are - cutie - yah? :yahoo:
