The Medium Mesh Nest is a spacious formicarium designed for growing ant colonies. Part of the first series of Esthetic Ants ant nests, it offers increased capacity while maintaining excellent ventilation and controlled humidity.

The nest features six naturally shaped chambers covered by an escape-proof mesh, allowing strong airflow while keeping ants securely contained. A removable clear acrylic cover provides full visibility and easy access when needed.

Humidity is regulated through a bottom tray that slowly humidifies the nest by evaporation. The tray also supports heat cable integration, making temperature control simple and effective for a wide range of species.

With connection ports for both 10 mm and 15 mm tubing, the Medium Mesh Nest integrates easily into modular setups and outworld systems.

Capacity guidelines
Small species such as Lasius niger: approximately 250 to 750 workers
Larger species such as Camponotus: approximately 50 to 100 workers

Please note: housing micro-species smaller than Pheidole is not recommended. Use at your own risk.
