In this world of ours live many kinds of amazing creatures.
In addition to the ants, honeybees, dogs, cats, flies, spiders, horses, chickens, seagulls, sparrows and other species we know so well, there are also many we have not yet encountered. In many parts of the globe, there are millions of kinds of living things which we have never heard of. Even if we learned their names, we would have nothing to which we could compare them.
The subject of this book is an insect that most of us aren’t used to seeing in our environment. This insect is the termite, which resembles an ant in appearance and partially in the way it lives.
Some people may be surprised to find a book entirely about termites. What, they may ask, is there to tell about these small insects? But as you will soon see, this little-known creature has characteristics that may open people’s minds to an entirely different horizon of ideas.
