Can you see all the little carcasses up close or are they sealed in their rubbery grave?

Reading the link, they mention different materials they had tried, including molten aluminum. They had a problem with their socks catching on fire when standing in the bottom of a two meter deep pit, trying to pour the molten metal down into the final portion of the tunnel system. Crazy scientists! I love 'em.

The page mentions that the ants up and move to a new site multiple times a year, so the cast was probably taken after the nest was abandoned.
