Have you more pictures? I'm curious where the rope ends ^^

Don't you fear your ants might take their fungus and go visiting the garden or something?
Also I would have a problem with making pan cakes ... every time I throw em into the Air, they would come back garnished with ants :D

heres some pics of the walk way from the nest to the food platform. There is water around the nest and the food platform so the ants cannot escape . :D

And how do you have fastened the rope? With a thread? There your ants could quite simply break out or not?

I dont think can ants fall or jump [ well this species] . Only if they were kocked off would they escape.
