You do know that this species doesn't even eat wood. Instead they take bits of leaves and dry grass and feed them to a specific kind of fungus which they then eat. They are farmers! Also another thing worth mentioning is that they have been doing this for millions of years and where the first creatures on earth to do so
And if you think we are better architects then think again The world's tallest building (forgot the name of it) took years to make with some of the world's brightest minds to figure out how to make it. Meanwhile if you where shrunken down to the size of a termite the world's tallest termite mound would be more than 3 times taller
@@unknowjlmmind blowing isn't it Also people have recently discovered a land area in Brazil bigger than that of great Britain covered in termite mounds which are all interconnected by tunnels, this means that the all the termites are traveling back and forth between the colonies and are sharing Information with eachother. So basically the worlds largest city was made by termites!
how do they know where to build walls and where to leave openings? aint they blind? why dosnt one termite get it wrong and build a wall in the middle of the main path?
