Cast some gypsum for the 1st DIY nest extention...

Small update... while waiting in anticipation for the order to arrive.

Today I cast the 1st block of gypsum to create a nest extension...
(It's about 10x 15 x 4 cm)

Once it's dry I'll sand the top surface flat with rough sandpaper on a piece of flat glass.
Then I'll outline the top shape on a piece of acrylic and saw it out with jigsaw.
The acrylic will be fit on the top with screws on all corners.

I'll carve out 3 or four compartments and drill 10mm entrance and exits to fit tubes later.

Ants' Ingenious Engineering: Building Ramps for Efficient Navigation

In the intricate world of insects, ants have long been celebrated for their remarkable teamwork and resourcefulness. These tiny creatures have an innate ability to adapt and overcome various challenges in their quest for survival. One of their most fascinating feats is the construction of ramps, which play a crucial role in their daily activities. Let's delve into the remarkable world of ant engineering and explore the significance of their ramp-building prowess. Building a Network of Efficient Pathways: Ant colonies are highly organized societies where each member has a specific role to fulfill. One of their primary concerns is establishing efficient pathways to navigate their surroundings. In their quest for food, water, or shelter, ants encounter a myriad of obstacles, including uneven terrain, vegetation, or even man-made structures. However, they possess an extraordinary skill for constructing ramps that allow them to conquer such hurdles. Construction Techniques: When f
