ANTSTORE World of Ants

i have seen 3 colnies of atta leaf cutter ants on at the natural history museum, the one at london zoo and one and longleat zoo which is larger than the other two. london zoo's ants are great as u can watch them walking on the ropes and there is nothing to stop u touching them of course no one does.

slightly off topic, i know that there is a colony of, if i remeber correctly, leaf cutters on show to the public down in devon, i have seen it a few times, next time i go, which is in a few weeks, i will try pop back, they are situated in an otter and butterfly sanctuary, i'l take a few photos and post them up,

Sure do Darradar, here in Belgium you there are no ants in a museum ore a zoo so it's not possible to visit such a nice setup like you guys.

the amazing thing about these ants is that the frame they must climb over in order to get to the leaves they provide, is in fact a huge iron shaped ant..!! it looks so cool, it's like a 3ft long skelletol model, that the ants climb all over, very clever.
I sure will do my best, as i say i am off to Devon (for none UK members this place is to the south/west of the UK, about 180miles from me!) in a few weeks.

aha i quickly just found a link, though sadly no photo's, and to my suprise, they have obviosly expanded in numbers as they now have their very own ant room, yikes i really am gonna go back for sure..!!

enjoy

that sounds like a very big and coll colony of leaf cutters makes all the colonies i have seen seem really small.

No need to login. Unfortunately it works with Internet Explorer only.
By the way - at night you will see black screen, ants are sleeping

It's great to see the camera working - it has often been broken in the past.

Is it a breeding colony now then?
