Very neat list. It's amazing of all the differences between the cages. I love the little ant farm cage that the ant is in. Not really a BIG fan of bugs, so I never put anything in my house when I was playing New Leaf. Still very cool list though. :)

Wow thank you :)
 
Thank you for this list! Very interesting to know the different types of these cages.
 
This was very interesting to read. I just found out thanks to this guide the existence of the wooden cages! Very nice!
 
hEhE, yep. I've seen them and they're cute. They have a green lid on both sides of the tank and I think a turnip in there. I like it when we catch one ant and all of the sudden, :0 There's like 10 ants.
