Sonoma | Humanicarium Project
Ground level, stepped terraced, curvilinear gabions form a human-scale fireproof #formicarium, with geotextile planters for under native understory species, curated native sedge ground cover, mosses and lichens; extensive daylighting, natural and active thermal regulation and ventilation; passive and active low-impact water harvesting.

Detail: Torre de las Moiras (sp), Tour des Moires (fr)
Cable suspended above the Humanicarium, are octet space-frame truss platforms, adjustable ETFE double wall pleated vertical curtains, minimalist tensile membrane canopies, serving as the hub for multi-level elevated forest walkways.

DM me if you would be interested in collaborating on a small #cooperative agriforestal #homestead, a human-scale #formicarium, or "Humanicarium" in Sonoma or San Mateo County.

Ck1 (10) möchte ein #Formicarium (Terrarium für #Ameisen)
Ist #antstore da ein seriöser/guter Anbieter? Wie würden ggf. einen Termin vor Ort ausmachen wollen zur Beratung. Oder gibt es einen anderen sinnvollen Tipp in Berlin?
Zimmer ist im Sommer sehr warm (+ stundenweise mobile Klimaanlage), im Winter eher kühl (aber nicht kühl genug für Winterruhe, ~18°C)

My 6yo is really into ants and I see a formicarium happening in the near future. I have at least 4 species in various parts of my home. Would it be possible to somehow bait a test tube setup and entice a queen to claim one? I think ghost ants might be a good option to have in general. The only nuptial flights I've seen are weavers and tree ants and they both seem difficult.

Sorry for the blurry pic, but was a quick one as relocated this to better keep an eye on it. It's a prototype nest I've been testing for ants, and this is a Pogonomyrmex occidentalis ants founding nest.

The white spots towards the middle are her brood pile she was moving as I moved it and disturbed her.

This nest lets me hydrate from top or bottom and with a high clay compound that should reduce risk of collapse.

After keeping ants for the last several years, decided to try a different design for a formicarium. This is for Pogonomyrmex occidentalis. I had success with a mix of native Arizona fine sand, and Zoomed clay digging material with a H. arizonensis vivarium and creating stable tunnels.

The tubes along the top and sides are vents. On the bottom is a tray I can inject water for hydration.

One of the first prints I did off my new printer 😊
