Welcome to the Termite Condo: Where Queens Reign and Workers Sustain!". In this snapshot taken by Don Hadden, we are transported into the fascinating world of termite mounds in North-western Queensland, Australia. Behold the bustling metropolis hidden beneath these towering structures! Within these architectural wonders lies a thriving community - complete with a long-living Queen who reigns for up to 20 years! Alongside her, loyal Kings, soldiers, and diligent workers tirelessly maintain their mound home. But it's not just about royal affairs; termites have an insatiable appetite for vegetation! From grasslands to landscapes, they feast on a variety of greens that keep them nourished and energized. What truly amazes is how termites regulate their abode's temperature. With precision engineering skills honed over millions of years, they ensure their cozy nest remains between 25 to 35 degrees Celsius all year round. Talk about climate control goals! So next time you stumble upon one of nature's skyscrapers while exploring Australia's wild side, take a moment to appreciate the intricate lives buzzing within. And remember – even tiny creatures can build grand homes worth admiring!
