Etta is happy to scramble to the top of the old termite mound ... for a small treat (Ziwi Peak- Natural New Zealand Pet Nutrition Treats).

Termites are very vulnerable to the elements. Only the winged adults develop compund eyes and thick skins to enable them to move easily outside the nest. Kyogle, NSW.
I found a few spot where the termites ate across the bottom plate and up the tongue and grove planks on the wall. I was able to poke this hole open with my fingers.
These wedge-shaped mounds are aligned in a north-south direction as a response to the environment. The termites which build them feed on grass roots and other plant debris found in
of the mound acts as a temperature regulator, and allows the temperature to remain stable.

TERMITE MOUNDS DAWNING"

Es gibt Orte die haben einfach was mystisches. Egal wann man diese besucht, es herrscht eine spezielle Stimmung. So ein Ort sind die Termite Mounds im Litchfield National Park - zumindest für mich.
Als wir im September 2013 wieder in dieser Gegend waren entschlossen wir uns diesen 350km Abstecher zu den Termite Mounds zu machen - obwohl es eigentlich nicht eingeplant war. Doch wollte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen wenn wir schon in dieser Gegend sind, diesen Ort erneut zu besuchen und zu fotografieren. Wer Interesse hat mehr darüber zu efahren kann meinen neusten Blog Artikel auf nature-moments.com's Blog nachlesen.Der Link zum Blog findet ihr bei den Kommentaren!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a few places on earth that have something mystical. No matter what time you visit them there's just that special mood, something you can describe with words. One of those places are the Termite Mounds at Litchfield National Park, at least for me. When we traveled through the area in september 2013 we decided to make this 350km trip to Litchfield though we haven't planned to visit this places on this trip. But I thought I might as well take the opportunity while we are travelling through, to visit an photograph the Termite Mounds again. A wonderful and magic place!
In one of the most ancient instances of monoculture, Macrotermes termites cultivate gardens of Termitomyces fungus as a form of external digestion, enabling the break down plant lignin for their consumption. Here, soldiers and nymphs of M. gilvus attend their fungus comb, found deep within their subterranean nest. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
A large termites nest in the Northern Territory Australia. They ranged from red, to the colour shown and grey.
This termite mound, at Fitzroy Falls in the Morton National Park, New South Wales, hosts an estimated half a million milk termites (Coptotermes lacteus) – underground creatures that live mainly on dead wood, thus helping natural recycling... unless, of course, it's your house they're eating. The mound, which is constructed from soil pellets, termite saliva and body waste, protects the termites from extreme weather and most predators (though not echidnas and goannas).
One of the key roles of the mound is temperature control – the termites can open and close vents to create a stable temperature, and to control humidity, which rarely varies by more than 1 per cent.
Incidentally, all praise to the National Parks and Wildlife Service of New South Wales, which provides excellent, well-marked walking facilities and information boards around the Fitzroy Falls. Clearly defined and maintained, they enable visitors to meander at leisure and discover nature at its best.
One major confusing when comparing ants and termites is the issue of winged, flying ants and winged termite swarmers.
Termite Swarmers are young king and queen termites. These termites are the ones that leave the termite colony to start a new one. They have their wings to make this significant journey, but loose them after they mate. Termite swarmers will only emerge when weather conditions are right, usually on a warm, moist day. This frequently happens after a rain storm. They tend to emerge in swarms (hence the term “swarmer”).
Photographed Eudlo, Queensland, Australia.
The next in my series of steampunk inspired creepy crawlies. More of a generic bug that wasn't initially meant to be a termite, just what it kinda looked like in the end. I'll be posting one each day until I have them all photographed concluding with a group shot of them. Each standard photo will be accompanied by an "in the wild" photograph of them.
