2.2 How can I build my own Ant Farm?

There are many ways. Visit these Web sites:

1. Myrmecology at http://www.myrmecology.org --Ant

2. AntCam at http://www.antcam.com --Ant and Mr. Ant

3. Entomological Society of America:

   I used to make these all the time. The main drawback is
   usually ants obscure the outer glass with soil. However, this
   method is simple and cheap. --Mr. Ant

   I used to use those clear, plastic tennis ball containers with
   soda cans. Same method as this link. The only problem was that
   this was plastic and not thick enough for the bigger ants. It
   is great for tiny ants like Argentine Ants. Just don't squeeze
   the containers! --Ant
