Me n My Birthday present.

Came across Antworks on the web and thought of getting it.

Went through a bit of research and found out that cre8tivesparks mentioned about it in his blog but he didn't reply when i emailed him to find out where i could get it in singapore. By a stroke of luck, I chanced upon the thingamajig while waiting for Esther at Plaza Singapura. It costed me $49.90. As my birthday was near, I treated it as a birthday for myself.

So today, I started off with my new craze. Antworks.

I unpacked the box and took out the habitat.

Created the ant-sucker-upperer with the help of reverendtimothy. I suck from the yellow straw n the ant gets sucked into the jar through the green one.

Got ready a bar of Fruitella as bait. Chewed up a piece of fruitella and placed it at my void deck near a grass patch.

Half an hour later, My Bro n I went downstairs to catch the buggers. To my disappointment, the ants were not attracted to the bait!
Sadness... We walked around n managed to find some ants big enough for the Habitat. Catching the ants was real tiring with the buggers running around like crazy. We only managed to catch 3 ants after 15 mins.

With some creativity, i created a sticky-wand using masking tape n my bro would trap the ants on the wand and i would suck the ants in to the jar.

After about half more hour, we managed to catch about 20 ants and we went home to put the ants in their new home (u can also see some of the small pieces of rock which i sucked into the jar when catching the ants.

A few hours later, I went to check on the ants. To my dismay. no tunnels were dug and in addition, the ants pooed on the side of the wall! (A droplet with brown sediment as shown)


I'll check on them again tomoro.
