The AntWorks is the real life version of Virtual Ants 'Ant's Life Studio which we wrote about earlier. The spave age ant habitat (antworks) uses some kind of gel from a NASA experiment and is used as a habbitat by the ants. They dig out tunnels and it is fascinating to watch these tunnels as the gel is see through.
