Today we check out two very epic ant setups at the American Museum of Natural History (Susan & Peter Solomon J. Family Insectarium), located in New York City USA. The species on display are Honeypot ants (Myrmecocystus sp.) and a species of leafcutter ant. The two setups are contrasting as one is more naturalistic and the other much more archetectural in design. Hope you enjoy this vlog as I take you through these two setups and talk about the biology and behaviours of both ant colonies. Ant love forever!
