ant farm
Insect observation habitat
An ant farm is a transparent enclosure filled with soil or gel, designed for observing ants as they tunnel and build colonies.
Popular as educational toys for children, ant farms make visible the underground architecture that's normally hidden.
The term sometimes describes any situation with frantic, seemingly purposeless activity: The office was an ant farm before the deadline.
