Red Acetate

Red Acetate is plastic film, transparent in A4 size, 150 microns thick.  It is easier to work with and doesn't crease, unlike the cellophane.

Red acetate is used to cover your nesting area. Some ants cannot see red light, so you will be able to see the nest activity without disturbing them.  They will think that it is dark.

Acetate is static. It sticks to glass and perspex easily without the need for tape.
