    Hmm, would this work with any clear material so you could see the ants as they suffer? I mean, for uhhh… science?

      you can never see them “suffer”

      “Ants are not subjected to feeling the same pain humans do. They can recognize damage and respond to it, but they don’t genuinely feel pain the same way people do”

      You’d pick up a lot of sand… Normally you’d use a metal like aluminum. You can sandblast that clean.

      But clear means epoxy. That stuff doesn’t hold up very well under sandblasting. It can be done, but expect mistakes.
