Functionality of the Lubi formicarium

Chambers and corridors are cast aesthetically that make formicarium looks very elegant. It was designed to have an option of a panoramic observation of the habits of living ants. The unique depth of chambers makes even large species such as Camponotus ligniperda freely move along the corridors and nesting chambers in the cast. The size of formicarium Lubi is the perfect answer to the requests associated with the possibility of displaying it in large spaces of home and  more modest apartments.

It can be successfully colonized by  all available types of ant colonies. The design has been thought out so that the owner could easily keep formicarium clean. At the same time it also provides a microclimate similar to the natural. The materials used to produce formicarium are harmless to the ants and to the environment. The gypsum nest perfectly maintains the necessary moisture for the rasing of the colony.

In the nest there are deep chambers that allow the rasing of large and medium-sized species, eg. Camponotus ligniperda or Formica fusca.
