Oh wow, this is an amazing display.

Plus, one of the most inventive way of using a IV-drip-machine I have ever seen.

This colony and setup is so incredible, probably the coolest one I've seen. Its insane how similar this setup is to the wild, they would make the same nest.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing setup, I subscribed to the YT channel! How old is this colony?

If I may ask what is the border of the outworld made of? Is it plastic with fluon (PTFE) or some other barrier?

THANK YOU!! These ants are horrible climbers. The outworld border is nothing more than smooth, clear packing tape supported with metal stanchions. Nothing else is needed.
