Flying termites, ngumbi in Chichewa & inshwa in Shona, which are the mating caste that swarm at this time of the year.
Day Three ... after lunch we went to the nearby Minneriya National Park.
From Wikipedia -
Minneriya National Park is a national park in North Central Province of Sri Lanka. The area was designated as a national park in 1997, having been originally declared as a wildlife sanctuary in 1938.
The reason for declaring the area as protected is to protect the catchment of Minneriya tank and the wildlife of the surrounding area. The tank is of historical importance, having been built by King Mahasen in third century AD. The park is a dry season feeding ground for the elephant population dwelling in forests of Matale, Polonnaruwa, and Trincomalee districts.
The park's fauna includes 24 species of mammals, 160 species of birds, 9 species of amphibians, 25 species of reptiles, 26 species of fish, and 75 species of butterflies.
The park is an important habitat for the two endemic monkeys of Sri Lanka: purple-faced langur and toque macaque. Large herbivorous mammals such as Sri Lankan sambar deer and Sri Lankan axis deer frequent the park. Rare and endangered species such as Sri Lankan leopard and Sri Lankan sloth bear inhabit in Minneriya. Minneriya is one of the areas where the gray slender loris is reportedly found in Sri Lanka.
The Minneriya reservoir is an important habitat for large water birds such as lesser adjutant, painted stork, and spot-billed pelican. Minneriya is a dormitory for many resident as well as migrant bird species. Flocks of 2000 little cormorants have been reported. Great white pelican, ruddy turnstone, and grey heron are the other water birds here. Among the endemic birds are Sri Lanka junglefowl, Sri Lanka hanging parrot, brown-capped babbler, Sri Lanka grey hornbill, black-crested bulbul and crimson-fronted barbet. The number of threatened birds recorded from this national park is 11.
Amphibians of Fejervarya pulla and Polypedates cruciger have been recorded from the area. There are eight species of endemic reptiles, and all of them are considered threatened. Painted-lip lizard and Lankascincus fallax are among them. Saltwater crocodile, Indian python, Asian water monitor, and Bengal monitor are among the other reptiles. Four of the fresh water fishes recorded from Minneriya are endemic to Sri Lanka.

The termites seem to be chewing off the bottom of the mailbox post. The newspaper tube under the mailbox is only about 10 inches from the ground. The mail delivery person has to bend over to put letters in the box. The newspaper boy has to bend over even further :)

Termite mounds are all over northern Queensland, but I liked this one due to it having absorbed the road marker.

Just some of the tens of thousands of termite mounds alongside of the Victoria Highway in northwest Australia.
Depending on the terrain, many shades of different colours, and many different shapes and sizes are found.

Took a lot of SweetFX modding to give it the right atmosphere. Also the windows were bloomy as anything and the only way to get them looking like this was to pan the camera around to the side, as effects are lessened while in motion.
So the game plan: set up a soul splitter wall behind me and use controller to look left and right but not so much that the character busts into view by mistake. While in motion press start and quickly the screenshot button to grab the shot during transition. This took more tries than I'm willing to admit and I'm generally good with the transition timing!

These are the Magnetic Termite Mounds run perfectly North - South on a very thin strip. They stand up to two metres tall. Taken in Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory Australia.
Termite Farms lies along the quite country road I mentioned in the previous photo. You will notice a few beautiful horses the have on the farm.
A small insurgent team have been sent into captured territory to find and disable a missile launch system. This type of opperation is not uncommon and are often successful, however failure usualy results in serious consequences.
Taken at Kiboko, Kenya, not sure if it can eat you, since it is less than 1 cm. But it defenetely can eat your house if it is made of wood... It collaborates with it's milions of sisters...
In the mild climate of coastal California, termites live in good health the year around. Without winter weather to kill them off, they feast on all the wooden buildings. The most effective ways of dealing with these freeloaders is to remove or double-bag all human foodstuffs, erect a tent -- a sort of cocoon -- over the whole house, pump in Vikane gas, and leave it a couple of days. No residue or smell afterwards, but hoo boy what a mess to put it all back.

Travelling through north Queensland, visitors are gobsmacked by the number of termite mounds of all different shapes and colours.
