So I've thought of it, and I think it would be cool to have a frame kind of thing that has ant specimens inside. The only problem is that I don't know how I should do that. Any Advice from people who do or do not have specimens?

I have a small collection of insects/ants. I could see a species specific display being neat, but most ants I find too small to display and if you are looking at a bunch of different species they start looking the same more than a few inches away. lol
