Question

in termatoria,insects other than termites are called????

Answer 1

Termites are small to medium sized, soft bodied insects that very in colour from pale-white to dark brown. They are commonly known as white ants, which are considered to be the most destructive insects to our crops, forests, orchards, timber and houses, a title received by them due to their wood-feeding habit.

They are one of those few animal species that survive exclusively on cellulose and carry cellulose-digesting flagellates inside their intestines to help them in this difficult task. Being shy and photophobous, they make underground nests called termatoria, in which they maintain constant temperature and humidity, even when outside ground temperature rises to above 60 degrees, by constructing intricate over ground natural air conditioners called termite-hills.
