If you felt in human to keep ants as pets and yet craved to have an ant farm on your work desk. Better yet, have one wherever you go to freak passersby. Maybe the Ants Life Studio from Bandai, is what you need. It is kind of like the next generation of their Tamagotchi cash cow. Instead of real ants, the Ants Life Studio presents a small colony of virtual ants that go about their daily lives of digging virtual tunnels, collecting virtual food and fending off attacks from virtual enemies. The monochrome LCD display features an electroluminescent backlight allowing you to continue your obsession with the ant's lives well into the night.

It also includes a clock and calendar function for keeping track of what you actually should have been doing all day long. It's currently only available in Japan, but you can get it from Japan Trend Shop for $99.
