This week we got our ants in that we ordered. We have a gel ant farm and are amazed at these little creatures. We have watched them bury their dead, dig tunnels, make hills and even talk to each other with their antennas. I am amazed at their team work skills. Matthew is a little sad that they are all girls but still loves watching them. The first thing the kids do in the morning is run to see the farm. They write everything that has changed since the night before. Several times a day they check on the ants and write down observations. The ants are a bigger hit than even the ladybugs were.
Our gel house is like the one below. There are several types of these on Amazon.com. It is so neat to see it lit up from the bottom. We really love it and I may even buy a rainbow farm to do as a follow up.
