Ant Farm
Glass insect habitat
An ant farm is a transparent enclosure—usually two panes of glass or plastic filled with sand or gel—that lets you observe ants tunneling and building colonies.
Children often keep them as educational novelties.
The term sometimes describes any chaotic, busy environment viewed from outside: Watching the trading floor was like looking into an ant farm.
