Hunstanton Sealife Acromyrmex colony

Post by Acromyrmexbob » Sun Apr 22, 2018 12:53 pm

I had to visit Hunstanton Sealife Centre 2 weeks ago to repair some escape routes the ants had formed in their tank. Hunstanton Sealife have a large Atta colony in their Caiman display and an Acromyrmex colony in their reptile room. After fixing it I took some pictures.

We installed this nest around 18 months ago. The Acromyrmex colony is very large!

Image
The vine coming out of the top of the nest tank only goes around 2-3 metres to the feeding tray.......

which is basically a glass table with a moat around it.

We made the vine up here in Scotland from rope, wire, silicone and varous paints.
