A termite is any member of the INSECT order
Isoptera. Termites are soft-bodied social
insects living in large colonies which
include one or more queens (of relatively
enormous size and producing an egg every two
seconds), much smaller kings, and still
smaller soldiers, workers, and immature
forms. Termites build galleried nests of soil
particles that may be 6m (20ft) high.
