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.

An analogy for how humanity will end when the extraterrestrials find us -- and they collect for their museum. 👍

"What the fuck!....I just remodeled the kitchen" -Ant #26487790
Its just a ant........ get over it
If you ever feel bad for ants, just remember; They invade bird nests 🪺
Craziness of mankind. No respect for nature. Just something we use and pollute
Video begins at 9:00

This is criminal 👎
That kid's pink pants are so tight he will never have to worry about... ants in the pants.
260 kilos = 573.202 pounds
Cool,👍😎🇺🇸 !
Pathetic. Imagine dedicating your life in destroying life.
There's dry grass and vegetation everywhere. But they would not even think to bring a fire extinguisher?!?
What disgusting behaviour and an exhibition of mindless arrogance !
Isn't it amazing what people do to fill their time when they don't have a job?
Only you can prevent forest fires.
Nice hobby starting grass on fire pouring aluminum
Leave it to man to think of really stupid ways to kill something
savage and barbaric…
Moisture in the ground instantly turns to steam causing the "explosions"
This video is stupid .....no results. Waste of time. Stupid .
Humans be like "They're an incredible creature, they do incredible work. Let's kill them all"
The Media: The cause of bushfires is unknown... :D
What a waste of time and money.
This seems unnecessary were the ant a problem or did they do this just because and if 5hey did what jerks
Really hope it's an invasive ant not a local one
These comments are hilarious. The people who are sympathetic to ants have ants living in their brains. They are mind controlled by ant psy-ops to spread pro-ant propaganda.
Don t set the Bush on Fire though
I saw guys using ant nests to find gold deposits
👍👍👍... Great job guy's. Next time let's do Klendathu !!! ...🐜🐜🐜...hahaha 😂😂😂 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍

Ali minium, strange hearing it pronounced like that
Well 23 minutes I'll never get back
It may have helped to put the crucibles further from the anthills
ants call this the “Holocaust”
Human stupidity at its finest
They must don't realize it only takes one queen ant to restart a colony.
Useless, cruel.....burning alive
U kill the nature....its criminal...use the Brain idiots....
At least the marshmallows were good
That’s a weird looking kid
