    I have a great respect for termites, i have kept colonies of them at home for study. They are the perfect society, if you will. excellent video, thanks for posting it.

  6. hudson says:

    wow, you’ve kept termite colonies? cool! could you post a clip of your colony?

  7. Mazdak1 says:

    it actually takes alot of work because they can chew through anything. I do not have any webcams/video. I only have a single photograph i took of the small enclosure (these were regular subterrenean termites that i found and relocated (made satellite colonies) and kept in a few pieces of tupperware. They did make tunnels and such, but obviously nothing as spectacular as those in Africa. I’d love to see those in person one day.
