Ricc, that looks fantastic. I am really impressed by your colony. Your journey has been long and winding but you have certainly delivered an amazing colony of ants.

You need to lubricate that hinge Ric, then the lid will close tight! 1 tear drop of olive oil in a pippet will sort that right out! :)
