Not much to say, I just built a light into the bottom which shines up through the bottom of the formicarium creating that blue glow. Enjoy.

That's insanely cool!

That's pretty cool. I always had plans to add lights to a formicarium, but I would only want it coming from above, or I think it's not going to help too much with visibility. It would look cool, but won't help with visibility of the ants, especially if it's coming from behind them.
But when I blue light everything in one room ya'll made fun of me! Uh huh....

If you put an IR bulb you could warm the nest instead. Is the light source interchangeable?
Yes, it is.

Thanks. Challenge accepted.
If you made it a red light it would look like an ant night club

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

Nice formicarium! What's it made of?
I accidentally froze all my ants
