Lovely new nest for my overcrowded Camponotus nicobarensis colony. The nest is by Esthetic Ants. 3D printed shell with firebrick carved chambers that are permeable to moisture. The felt vibration pad and cover are my additions. Can’t wait to move the girls in to their new house. (second home)

the inside of the empty nest has 8 tidy square chambers.

@futurebird really getting on the property ladder - or do you consider them renters?

@PetraOleum

The only thing they produce to pay rent is piles of sand and more ants.

So yeah, they own it.
