52 kg (114 lb) Aluminium Casting of a Giant Brown Bull Ant Nest - Myrmecia brevinoda - 2015/03/07



Aluminium Casting of a Giant Brown Bull Ant Nest (Myrmecia brevinoda). www.facebook.com/australianantart This is one of the biggest nests that we have ever cast. I will leave it up to you to speculate on the weight until we can get it to some accurate scales to weigh it. Myrmecia brevinoda is one of the largest ants in Australia, with workers able to be more that 30 mm in length and the queen over 40 mm. The nest has a main tunnel near the surface from which the rest of the nest branches off. There are at least 5 separate arms in this nest which only connect near the surface. There are also a number of features in the nest which show the uses of different chambers. Cast Dimensions: Weight: 52.0 kg (114 lbs) Height: 925 mm (36.4") Length: 900 mm (35.4") Width: 650 mm (25.6") Music: "Cold Funk" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
