DescriptionTermite mounds at Kadavoor.jpg |
English: Termites are a group of eusocial insects that, until recently, were classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera, but are now accepted as the infraorder Isoptera, of the cockroach order Blattodea. While termites are commonly known as "white ants," they are not closely related to the ants.
Termite workers build and maintain nests which house the colony. These are elaborate structures made using a combination of soil, mud, chewed wood/cellulose, saliva, and faeces. Nests are commonly built underground, in large pieces of timber, inside fallen trees, or atop living trees. Some species build nests above ground, and they can develop into mounds. Mounds (also known as "termitaria") occur when an aboveground nest grows beyond its initially concealing surface. |
