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.
