ant farms
Tunneling insect habitats
An ant farm is a transparent enclosure filled with sand or gel that allows observation of ants tunneling and building colonies.
Popular as educational toys for children, they reveal the normally hidden social organization of ant life.
The term sometimes describes any chaotic, busy environment: The office was an ant farm of activity.
