Amazing look into the structure of an ant colony. This is a plaster cast of a Florida harvester ant colony. This was the work of 5000 ants working 4-5 days. These ants make big tunnels and the soil is sandy, which allows the air to be forced into the soil so that the plaster can flow all the way down.

Here's the article on the project:
