Abstract

An ant habitat construction bowed in shape in a convex manner between its side edges, and large pad devices help to provide mechanical stability. Upper and lower hollow hinge devices enable similar units to be connected together in an articulated manner and in communication with one another to facilitate ant travel between the units, and yet have enhanced stability.
