Antworks is based on an actual 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment on how ants tunnel in microgravity. AntWorks kit includes a send-away certificate for live ants and informational booklet. Ants need no food or water as the gel contains all the nutrients they need.

Antworks Illuminated Ant Farm Works Great

6-5-2010 - by Peter martin from Frewsburg, NY

After opening the package and following the instructions the ant farm worked as advertised. We take it to all our family parties and share it with everyone. It has been an enjoyable addition to our science collection. Thank you for such an enjoyable and sturdy design. Peter Martin

My kids, husband, and I all had a blast with this ant farm. It's bright enough to be used as a night light, and the fact that the ants eat the gel means you don't have to worry about feeding them (or them getting loose in your house).
