I designed the AntWallnut.\nThis miniature Formicarium is perfect for housing X-Small Ants.\nHowever, when scaled up, it can comfortably accommodate XXL Ant colonies too.\nOne hundred percent accurate designs utilize 6mm tubes.\nI've also included connectors and stoppers for convenient hole management.\n\nTo stay up-to-date with my latest creations, please visit my Facebook page too =)\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Unknowncreatures3D/\n\nThank you for downloading and liking this project - your support means the world to me =)\n\nFor more 3D printing designs, be sure to check out my other available prints too =)\n\nFascinating facts about ants:\nAnts are eusocial insects belonging to the family Formicidae, along with their relatives wasps and bees.\nThe order Hymenoptera comprises these remarkable creatures.\nIt is estimated that ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors during the Cretaceous period, approximately 140 million years ago.\nThe diversification of ants followed the emergence of flowering plants.\nTo date, over 12,500 out of an estimated total of 22,000 ant species have been classified and documented.\nThe distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists makes them easily identifiable by elbowed antennae.\n\nAnt colonies can range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals inhabiting small natural cavities to massive organised colonies occupying large territories consisting of millions of individuals.\nThese larger colonies comprise various castes, including sterile, wingless females and males known as drones and fertile females referred to as queens.\nThe term 'superorganisms' is used to describe the colonies due to the collective unity and organisation demonstrated by the ants in supporting their colony.\nIn video formants, we see ants working together in remarkable ways.\nA short clip of black ants gathering food can be seen on our Facebook page.\n\nWith near-universal presence, ants have colonised almost every landmass across Earth.\nThe sole places lacking indigenous ant species are Antarctica and a few isolated or inhospitable islands.\nAnts thrive in various ecosystems and may make up 15–25% of terrestrial animal biomass.\nTheir adaptability to diverse environments has been largely attributed to their intricate social structure, resource modification, and ability to tap into resources.\nA wide array of complex relationships exist between ants and other species.\nMany ant societies demonstrate a division of labor, efficient communication among individuals, and remarkable problem-solving capabilities.\nThe parallels drawn with human societies have inspired numerous studies and are still an active subject for researchers.\nMany cultures value ants in various roles such as food, medicine, rituals, or biological pest control agents.\nHowever, their aggressive resource exploitation may also lead to conflicts with humans as they can damage crops and invade buildings.\nInvasive species like the red imported fire ant have raised significant concerns.\nTheir co-evolutionary history has shaped these relationships into what we see today.\nCheck out more at my Facebook page.\nThis text does not contain foreign characters.
