Extracting 250 kg of ant nest castings. Triple Casting Bull Ant Nest Casting - Days 3 - 5

Video Description

Australian Ant Art™ is casting three bull ant nests for the Queensland Museum's Insect Agency Exhibition, opening September 2023. We used 250 of the 260 kg of aluminium we brought with us to complete the castings. In this video we start the long process of of digging and extracting the nests without breaking them. These nests were far bigger than we expected and we had to call in an excavator and vacuum truck to help with the dig. www.facebook.com/australianantart/ www.instagram.com/australianantart_official/ Species cast: Nest 1 - Myrmecia brevinoda Nest 2 - Myrmecia brevinoda Nest 3 - Myrmecia tarsata Casting date: 28/6/2023 All music sourced from YouTube Creator Studio: Icelandic Arpeggios – DivKid Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Video shot and edited by Jim A.
