80 kg Ant Nest Casting!! Queensland Museum Insect Agency Exhibition
Massive Ant nest casting of the Giant Bull Ant (M. brevinoda) by Australian Ant Art™. This nest was one of three cast for the Queensland Museum for their Insect Agency Exhibition opening in September of 2023. This is a short video that was displayed as part of the exhibition show casing the casting process. There are videos documenting the full process on the Australian Ant Art™ CZcams Channel.
This is our second heaviest Bull ant nest casting to date taking 80 kg of aluminum with dimensions of 1.80 x 1.46 x 0.72 m (L x W x H). Myrmecia brevinoda is one of the largest ants in Australia, with workers able to be more that 30 mm in length and the queen over 40 mm. The nest has a main tunnel near the surface from which the rest of the nest branches off.
