The entomologist at the university where I work gave me this old document that he originally received in 1975.  He knew of my interest in ants and when cleaning out his filing cabinet decided that I should have it.

 

It is a copy of the Wildlife Reporter from 1975 on How to Build a Formicarium.   You may have to click on the picture to bring up the fill sized copy.

 

Things have definitely changed and improved since then, but I found it an interesting read nonetheless that I thought I would share.
