This is very neat -- super unique aesthetic

 

Is there a link to purchase these anywhere? I'm not really familiar with Baidu Tieba/if that is even the place where you would purchase this

Don’t myrmecocystus need a place for the repletes to hang? They will die if not.

The tubes where the ants will nest appear to be turned in a way that the cement goes up the side with a slight overhang at the top for them to hang.
