The aspersa nest is an accessible and simple nest for beginners! It features a round rim at the top of the lid for escape prevention, a mesh lid for proper ventilation, a removable nest lid in for easy nest access, and grooves in the chambers which offer spaces for smaller species of ants to store their brood.
This is a smaller nest, with a foraging area of 7cm x 7cm x 7cm and nesting space of 7cm x 7cm x 3cm, making it a suitable nest for even very small colonies.
This nest is not suitable for highly destructive ants, such as Camponotus (Carpenter Ants) and Messor (Harvester Ants).

I have a colony of very small ants and didn't realize there are 2 holes in the bottom of the nest where they can slip through.
The lid does not close properly because the plaster nest part is too tall, which allows the ants to roam between the plastic container and the plaster, then go in the bottom where they escape. Had to seal it with some liquid clay.
Not suited at all, would've loved to know if there was a size of ants we could've kept in it.
Came in ready to go!
