The Large Mesh Nest is a spacious formicarium designed for large and growing ant colonies. Part of the Esthetic Ants mesh nest series, it combines excellent ventilation with controlled humidity, making it suitable for a wide range of species.

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

Humidity is regulated through a bottom tray that humidifies the nest by evaporation. The tray also supports heat cable integration, allowing precise temperature control for demanding species.

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

Capacity guidelines
Small species such as Lasius niger: approximately 1,000 to 3,000 workers
Larger species such as Camponotus: approximately 500 to 1,000 workers

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