Learning about ant colonies through aluminum casts Watch this clip to see how this incredible ant cast was made by Dr. Walter Tschinkel, who does all sorts of interesting research on ants at FSU! By pouring liquid metal into an ant hill, researchers can gain valuable information about how different types of ants build different types of homes in a manner that would be unavailable to them if they didn’t cast the homes. But seriously, many of the casts are so lovely that they’d be fantastic art pieces in a home with tall ceilings! -- source link
