O35L #4   These are 2 large Soldier Ant showcased nicely in a Floating display and would look great in any collection or for educational purposes.  These guys are big!  You definitely would not want to see him crawling on you! 
  
Framed Display Approx. Dimensions:5 x 5 x 2"

This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed and also gives the specimen the illusion of "floating"!   This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens or the elasticity strip usually are damaged when you open the display.  If the film in your display starts to stick together or gets some bubbles in it you can open the case very slowly so the film releases from both side and close again very slowly and the problem should be resolved.  If the film gets touched are is in a hot area this can happen but it is a very easy fix also sometimes in shipping the specimen can shift a little in the display.  If this happens please contact us and we will direct you on a quick and easy fix.   Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted. 
HANGING DISPLAYS:  The floating displays all have removable bases so if you would like,  just a piece or two of Velcro or command strip will mount these right to your wall without a problem. The case will keep him clean and safe for years to come! 

Species and fun facts: Camponotus gigas
Insect
Camponotus gigas or giant forest ant is a large species of ant, native to Southeast Asian forests. It is one of the largest ants in existence, measuring in at 20.9 mm for normal workers, and 28.1 mm for the soldiers. Honeydew makes up 90% of their diet, but they will also consume insects and bird droppings.  These are some of the largest ants in the world.  These are sometimes referred to as Bullet ants because they closely resemble them but they are not true bullet ants. 

When purchasing this item you are agreeing to the following: NO CLAIMS FOR SMALL BROKEN PARTS such as antennae (too fragile to guarantee on any insect-there is no solution that works well for detached antenna ), detached tails, leg, head, wing or broken tarsi.  This sometimes happens in shipping and are an easy fix.  
These small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part or two when purchasing items like this and we will direct you through it. We do offer videos that show you exactly how to repair these items as well. We will work with you to correct any problems that may occur as our reviews reflect. If you are not comfortable repairing an item you may return the item, return postage will be the buyers expense and a refund for the item will be refunded as soon as the item is returned less shipping cost or restocking fee if one is posted for that item.  
 These are all natural specimens and may have a leg or part of an antenna missing, I do my best to make sure they are very good but sometimes one gets by me, any damage is very slight and will not effect the looks of the specimen.   See my feedback for confirmation.  I rarely have a problem but even with good packaging it is impossible for us to Guarantee that specimens will arrive totally intact. 

  Check us out!  Please check out our other displays, they make wonderful Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary and some even Man Cave displays!  
We also specialize in Antique Victorian Style displays, insects, animals as well as many other handmade wonderful and unique items and displays!  I have lots of little items for your curiosity cabinets as well!

All displays will be carefully packed to the best of our ability to insure a safe and damage free arrival. With Ground Advantage and Priority mail you will be covered by $100 worth of insurance.  If damage occurs in shipping and your item was shipped with Ground Advantage or Priority mail, the post office now requires you to bring the package in to a postal center/office for inspection before any insurance payments will be approved and the item has to be in the original shipping box with all packing as you received still in box.  Your refund will be processed once the package has been inspected and the receipt from the post office acknowledging the inspection is forwarded to us. This is an ordeal that no one wants to go through, including us, so we do our best to make sure no one has too!
