Something like this that has all the nesting chambers go around the whole thing. So you can see ants no matter what way its facing.floating ant farm.png
Exactly! Levitate the whole thing, and you’d never have to worry about escapes.

Most ants be like: Shoot, we can’t escape
Fire ants be like! To hell with levitation build a bridge!

I'd like to see a nest that has a glass lid that the ants have trouble walking on and that's good to film through with few refections. I hate fluon since it makes the glass cloudy. Isn't there some way to have glass that's non-reflective on one side... but supper slippery like teflon on the other and crystal clear?

I'm tired of trying to film the queen laying an egg or some other neat thing and some idiot ant walks on the glass blocking everything.

Also, a nest that's designed to have the glass removed and swapped out with fresh clean glass using some kind of slid-in slot would be nice.

Lastly, give me an "ant poo and trash" perfume spray so I can encourage them to put their trash pile in the ideal location.
