That is so cool. What is that white foam-like material, and does it adsorb water?

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Attention Ant-Keepers in South Dakota! Join the SoDak(Society Of Dakotan Ant Keepers)
I did a little bit of work and you can sorta see the steps above.
I'm not close to finished but I assembled the parts into the terrariums shape
Very interesting design! It wouldn't fit a natural habitat imo as its a bit perfect and and too neat, but all in all its a very pretty tank.
Thank you man glad you like it.
I see what you're saying but I'd disagree cause I already made a tank like this and it works perfectly running for a year with ants and many other creatures like springtails, isopods, jumping spiders, millipedes, centipedes and many more.
It's not gonna stay as neat as it is when it's new but we are talking about almost 80 kilos of substrate.
Most effort went into planning for what the ants will do to the setup and how to make it bio active.
The tank isn't finished and the design not complete without the ants doing their own construction
So I expect the leveling of the terrain and vegetation will make it look more natural, huh? Personally I like my naturalistic tanks to be like a chunk of wilderness I took out of the wild and boxed up.
Looks great!
Ants I have: Tapinoma sessile(2 queen colony). RED MORPH Camponotus neacticus(now has pupae!), Tetramorium immigrans (x3), Aphaenogaster sp, Temnothorax sp, Brachymyrmex sp. possibly infertile , Ponera pennsylvanica, and Pheidole morrisi!
Other insects: Polistes sp. Queen
Ants I need: Pheidole sp., Trachymyrmex sp., Crematogaster cerasi , Dorymyrmex sp. Most wanted: Pheidole morrisii
