A 7*12cm outworld with 10mm holes. The roof and sides are 3mm laser cut acrylic.
Can be used to feed small-medium sized ant colonies. Connect this to the formicarium with 10mm vinyl tubing. The main plastic frame does require support but comes out wonderfully using tree supports.
The top of the roof has two options, either you use the piece with big holes and glue a mesh in between the two acrylic plates. If you don't want to do that there is also a piece with ventilation holes cut in, however some small ant species are able to escape through there (this piece also has to be glued together with the other roof plate).
If you want to escape proof your outworld there is also an alternative piece for the roof where the lower plate is in two separate pieces, so the outer part can get anti climbing stuff on and stay attached to the main frame.
Ive included a small feeding plate so you can more easily put food into the outworld without contaminating the floor or sediment. There is also an adaptor for 14mm glass test tubes found in the supermarket.
