The queen termite looks like a giant
sausage. The queen is the largest termite of the nest. Her body
is bloated and is full of eggs.
Termites build their nests to fit in
with their surroundings. The termites plaster their nests to
trees. The umbrella nest is good for heavy rainfalls!
The queen termite will lay 30 000 eggs
a day. That is 3 eggs every 3 seconds.
The nests are well organised and each
termite has a special job to do. Not all termites look the same,
it depends on which job they do.
