Termite mounds

Termite mounds are large structures built by termites, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. These mounds serve as homes and nests for the termites, providing shelter and a controlled environment for their colony. Made from soil, saliva, and plant material, they can reach impressive heights and have complex internal systems that regulate temperature and humidity. Termites maintain these mounds meticulously, ensuring they remain suitable for their needs. Beyond their ecological role, termite mounds also contribute to soil health and nutrient cycling in their environment, highlighting the important role these insects play in ecosystems.
