Nasutitermes spp termites, nasty looking little creatures

www.pestec.com.au Often homeowners do not get to look at termites up close. When you do get a chance to look closely at a termite just take note of what shape the head of the termite is. Is it round? is it teardrop shaped? or is it pear shaped? In the photograph above this is probably one of the most easy termites to identify in the world. The very dark almost black head with its teardrop shape is easily discerned from some of its cousins. These guys squirt long streams of exudate to ward off their enemies.
