I am Termite

My life is used to illustrate the whole biological, behavioural and physiological time I have experienced while living as a termite. I have a predetermined destiny, full of adventure and dangers from different factors, including man who considers some of us a major pest. As well as being a story of my life, this short book introduces the reader to the biology and behaviour of us termites that pursue a hidden life underground or inside timber. Many technical textbooks exist on termites even one written by myself. This current book has been written to provide a basic guide to termites for everyone including the younger reader at low cost. It mainly centres around one of the more advanced termite mound builders. Specificity has been sacrificed in places to give an overview of the life of different termites and may not relate to one particular species and the writer acknowledges this.
