I needed a "filler" week and poked around online. I choose ants as a weekly theme. It has actually become a wonderful theme!
I choose this Ant Farm. The "Fascinations" brand is popular on amazon.com, but many people had issues with them separating or cracking. I do not need ants on the loose. :ouch:

I ordered Harvester Ants.

Ant life cycle stages.

I highly recommend Ant Cities. There are many other books you can supplement with, but this is the one I built the unit off of.
