O35d   BOX 32  

This listing is for one display.  This is a large Soldier Ant showcased nicely in a Floating display with preserved fern and would look great in any collection or for educational purposes.  This guy is 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.
