How Natural Are Ant Farms?
This depends very much on the species. In the wild, some South American species may only have a few dozen workers in the nest whereas the red harvester and the Florida harvester may have upto twelve thousand individuals. Obviously if you transfer a few individuals from a much larger community into your ant farm then their opportunities for interaction are going to be greatly reduced and behavior will change accordingly. However, some ant behaviors are hard-wired and will be displayed irrespective of the environment they find themselves in. These include tunnelling and foraging and you should be able to observe these quite easily, especially in the new gel-type ant farms. Find out here about Gel Ant Farms.
