Aluminum Ant Hill Casting - Melting Aluminum at Home - They Survived!

Today we are going to pour some aluminum and make an ant hill casting. These and survived the last time we did the ant hill casting and have an even bigger ant hill.

It’s like Pompeii but with ants! Pretty cool.

That's exactly what it is like!

That’s cool. It is always cool to see how they dug their tunnels and caverns. Great job. Thank you for sharing.

"They've (been) encased in Carbonite. (They) should be quite well protected. If (they) survived the freezing process, that is."

The larvae and ants in the cast are kinda scary lol. Imagine having this hung up and guests get looking at it. 😂 id love to do this with my aluminum but Kentucky soil is mostly clay so getting it out of the ground would suck .

This looks like a harvester ant nest. You DO know they're on the threatened species list,
