Termite's Dinner
The two species of termites feed on dead trees, stumps and logs lying on the ground. Individuals travel between the mound and the food source by way of galleries or runways which are tunnels through the soil or, when at the surface of the soil or wood, they are covered over with a roofing constructed of a similas material to the mound itself. This affords protection to the termites travelling
Mound Abandoned
As termites require a warm and humid atmosphere, the mound's outer casing functions
as a protection and an insulator, with the relative humidity being maintained
above 95% within the galleries.
