ABSTRACT:
An entomological apparatus is provided to facilitate the observation and study of insects, e.g. ants. The apparatus is comprised of a first substantially transparent enclosure having inner and outer surfaces. Preferably this transparent enclosure is a sphere. The apparatus is further comprised of a second enclosure, preferably a hemisphere including a planar wall. This second enclosure is within the first enclosure. The second enclosure has inner and outer surfaces. A portion of the outer surface of the second enclosure and a portion of the inner surface of the first enclosure form an environmental chamber for observing insects. In the preferred embodiment the environmental chamber is formed by maintaining the spherical first enclosure concentric with the hemispherical second enclosure. The apparatus is further comprised of an access means through the first enclosure for enabling placement of insects and environmental elements within the first enclosure.
