As a species, only cows fart more than termites. Estimates suggest termite gas is responsible for about 5% of global methane emissions.

Someone on our local net talking about using a KW amplifier on 11M and pointing it at walls with a beam antenna to fry . I can't tell if he's joking or not šŸ˜‚

Any thoughts about this layout? Do y'all think the logs are readable as a heart?

@stephenanfield Iā€™m not sure if this applies to every species, but the I tried in Costa Rica tasted like pine nuts!

A trail of Macrotermes carbonarius termites spotted at one end of Kent Ridge Park, Singapore, on 22 May 2022. The workers were busy moving material to their nest, protected by soldiers on the edge of the line.

Fungus growing termites (Macrotermes carbonarius) spotted in the Hougang area on 16 Oct 2021. They are gathering from a loaf of bread found on the ground. I was expecting to see ants, so seeing termites instead was a bit of a surprise.

These termites feed on crops of fungus that they grow. Plant material is fed to the fungus, so the bread here is probably for the fungus.
