SINGAPORE: Tucked away in a corner of a Housing Board estate in Yishun, bordering a traditional Chinese medicine store, Mr John Ye’s shop seems fairly nondescript from afar.
A starter kit for the beginner ant hobbyist involves only a test tube set-up, with a handful of ants. Ant-related religious verses decorate the walls, while a giant ant plush toy sits on top of a glass cabinet.Then there is the display tank holding a one-and-a-half-year-old mature colony which Mr Ye uses for show-and-tell. Inside, tens of thousands of ants crawl over the soil base, like scattered lines of marching troops.
Just Ants was previously at Woodlands before moving to Jurong East. Mr Ye thinks the current shop at Yishun Central could be their “forever home”.The reception among customers is “getting better”, he said. “We have more curious people - not ant-keepers - but curious as to what we are doing.” There are repeat customers who will come back to look for new formicarium or stock up on feed, said Mr Ye. He also runs an"ant hotel" where he will care for the colonies when their owners are away.
