TERMITES
Termites in Australia represent approximately 360
known species, thriving in diverse ecosystems
ranging from tropical rainforests to arid
deserts. These small, social insects exhibit
remarkable behaviors and adaptations, such as the
construction of sophisticated mounds that
regulate temperature and humidity levels within
the nest. While they play a crucial role in
decomposition and nutrient cycling, termites also
serve as an important food source for various
Australian animals, contributing to the overall
balance and resilience of the countrys unique
ecosystems.
