Ant species Harpegnathos venator:<\/strong>
\nHarpegnathos venator is a very beautiful and very large ant species from Southeast Asia. They are mainly active at night, but are also active during the day due to the usually lower light intensity in the home. This ant species can jump approx. 8 – 10 cm, walk backwards and has very good eyesight. Seen in profile, mandibles are shaped like sabre-tooths. They show an interesting behavior when hunting by wiggling their gaster before attacking.<\/p>\n

You can feed them with sugar-honey solution, honey and protein food or preferably small live insects such as crickets and fruit flies. Harpegnathos venator has a very pronounced hunting behavior and therefore accepts live food much better.<\/p>\n

Humidity and temperature in the arena must be increased slightly at most, but the nest should always be nice and moist. The animals prefer differently humid areas in the nest.<\/p>\n

The prefabricated chambers and passages can be used directly by the colony. The Ytong nest can be easily moistened using the included tray. Simply pour a little water into the tray and wait until the Ytong stone absorbs the water on its own.<\/p>\n

Information about the Ytong nest with arena:<\/strong>
\nContains:
\nMaterial: aerated concrete, glass, PMMA plastic and PVC<\/p>\n

Connection:<\/strong> 1x 14mm opening; 1x 27mm opening<\/p>\n

Contents:<\/strong>
\n1x aerated concrete block 40x20x5 cm with 20mm deep chambers
\n1x glass plate 40×20 cm with a 50mm opening and a 20×20 cm arena
\n1x ant arena frame 20×20
\n1x ant arena cover 20×20
\n1x 50mm ring with 27mm opening
\n1x formicarium plug 13mm
\n2x formicarium plugs 27mm
\n2x 50mm formicarium plugs<\/p>\n

Due to its water-retaining properties, the material is well suited for keeping ants. It can be used to keep a large number of earth-nesting species from both dry and moist habitats. Depending on the ant species, it is advisable to cover the bottom of the chambers with clay paint and soil substrate. Some species feel more comfortable this way and Ponerinae species, for example, need soil so that their larvae can pupate properly. As this nest already contains an arena, it can be used as a complete formicarium system.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>
\nTo prevent water from leaking out of the Ytong after moistening the nest area and accumulating on the surface of the furniture underneath, or the rough material scratching the surfaces, we recommend one of our matching glass trays for our Ytong nests. These are waterproof and effectively protect the surfaces underneath against water and scratch damage.<\/p>\n

Use:<\/strong>
\nFor ant species of size M – L
\nAerated concrete is a very brittle and fragile material. It is therefore impossible to prevent corners and edges from breaking off and becoming slightly uneven during production. For this reason, Ytong nests are not suitable for very small ant species of size S, as these species could easily break out.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/strong><\/span> Please moisten the substrate before use so that the mixture can bond and develop a firm hold in the ant farm. If the substrate is too dry and dusty, it can also block the ants’ respiratory tracts and, in the worst case, cause them to suffocate.<\/p>\n

Recommendation:<\/strong> We recommend a substrate layer of 2 mm in height so that the animals cannot burrow into the arena and instead use the antfarm provided for this purpose. We also recommend that the nesting material in the antfarm (sand\/clay, Digfix, etc.) is slightly pricked in one place to make it easier for the animals to dig.<\/p>\n

Notes on production<\/strong>
\nThe glass is cut to size in accordance with DIN 1249 with a tolerance of +\/- 1 mm. Additional break-out protection is essential for extremely small ant species.<\/p>\n

Note Clay paint:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong> This mixture is non-toxic and relatively water-resistant on plaster and concrete, but is otherwise water-soluble.<\/p>\n

Instructions for use:<\/strong>
\nThis mixture is ready to use and can be applied immediately to plaster or aerated concrete with a brush.
\n100ml is sufficient for approx. 1\/4m\u00b2 of aerated concrete or 1\/2m\u00b2 of plaster.
\nWhen wet, the surface can be sprinkled with sand, for example, to achieve an even more natural look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
