Ant Farms

A cold 12 pack, LIAG's ant farm, some sun and a magnifying glass sounds like a good time.

Haha my friend works at some kid's store in Northlake mall and I told him to get me one. I'm 20. Haha glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's cool. I never had one always wanted one

I never had an official one from a store. I used mason jars. I also had a plethora of other insects and small creatures in mason jars in my room. There's nothing like having 30 anoles in a huge pickle jar to impress all your little bratty friends.

I saw a site somewhere where someone made an ant farm out of 2 clear cd cases.

They're supposed to be from the midwest. They will not come with a queen, it's supposedly illegal to ship queen ants.

Any antologists or detectives in the ATF ant division care to explain why this no legal? I can't wrap my mind around it.

I think it's because of this...

Non-native species can devastate crops and ecology of an area. Even "US natives" from "out of town" can be a problem.

They also swarm. With a queen breeding more ants, the colony will quickly outgrow any cage you have for them. They swarm and quickly get out of control. Which is why catching your own isn't advised. Ant colonies can easily inhabit 6-10 SQUARE FEET of ground.
