ANT EXPERIMNT
AntWorks is based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how ants successfully tunnel in microgravity. The AntWorks Gel (Non Toxic) is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new colony. You can watch ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels.
