A nice Formicarium location with stable temperature...

I found a great place to put my Lasius Niger Formicarium :)

We have a 180 liter Juwell aquarium with tropical fish, the temperature of the water is allways 26 degrees, the TL-lighting gives a little extra warmth...

On this spot on top of the back-lid the temperature is a stable 27.7 all day long.
(Test in the images below is done without ants ;) )

Perhaps a little too hi, but if I put a layer of triplex or multiplex underneath it I bet it will be a nice 24-25 degrees celcius there.

At night the light goes off and the temperature drops just a couple of degrees.
The Aquarium and Formicarium are both in a place in the room where direct sunlight never comes.

Unveiling the Secrets of Pain: How Ants' Stings Teach Us about Nerve Cells

 Have you ever been stung by an ant and experienced excruciating pain that seemed to last forever? Well, researchers at the University of Queensland have made an amazing discovery about some of the world's most painful ant stings. They found that these stings target our nerves, similar to how snake and scorpion venom work. This groundbreaking research, recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, provides new insights into understanding pain and developing innovative ways to treat it. Understanding the Study: Led by Dr. Sam Robinson and his colleagues at UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience, the research focused on two ant species: the Australian green ant and the South American bullet ant. These ants are known for their stings that cause prolonged pain, unlike the brief discomfort of a bee sting. How Ant Venoms Affect Nerves: Through their study, the researchers discovered that ant venoms specifically target the nerve cells responsible for transmittin...
