highlighter‚ and marker‚ have a 2 Introduction The termites‚ a small white insect which eats wood and live in hot countries‚ are the group of unsocial insects that are classified as the Epifamily Termitoidae. While termites are commonly known‚ especially in Australia‚ as "white ants"‚ they are only distantly related to the ants. A pheromone is any chemical substance released by an animal that serves to influence the behavior of other members of the same species. Furthermore‚ the pheromones

Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

flavipes termite Abstract This experiment was constructed to determine which type of writing utensil the termites were most attracted to and why. The experiment was performed by placing two separate circles (one red papermate and one lead pencil) on a piece of paper to see what line is favored by the termite. The termite was placed on the lead pencil path first‚ and then on the red papermate pen path to count how many seconds the termite remained on or followed the pathway. The termite stayed

Termite Line Width Preference by‚ Kat Lab Group: Eliot‚ Sarah‚ Nathalie September 21‚ 2012 Justification & Hypothesis During initial observations of termite behavior on a number of flat white sheets with varied lines [color‚ pattern etc...]‚ there was a reported perceived termite preference of lines. Teams were divided and free to differentiate their particular white sheet using identical ball-point pens with various lines. Some teams observed termites

Termite Handedness Summary: Animal behavior is the underlying concept of how living organisms act when presented a certain situation or environment. Understanding animal behavior in simple organisms such as termites can give us basic insight into how animal behavior works. In our experiment we tested termite “handedness” – if termites prefer to turn left or right. We did this by placing a termite in an ink path with a fork in it which would cause the termite to choose between going left or right

The isopods that we worked with were land isopods. They like to live in moist places under untouched objects such as boards‚ bricks‚ rotting logs and or rocks. Basically‚ they will live anywhere! If you are lucky enough‚ you can even find them next to buildings where it is moist and if there is food. All living organisms like

Termites are a group of eusocial insects that‚ until recently‚ were classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera (see taxonomy below)‚ but are now accepted as the epifamily Termitoidae‚ of the cockroach order Blattodea. While termites are commonly known‚ especially in Australia‚ as "white ants‚" they are only distantly related to the ants. Like ants‚ some bees‚ and wasps—which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera—termites divide labour among castes‚ produce overlapping generations

This is about termites and details my findings about them‚ and also is meant to provide some helpful info on how to deal with termite infestation. You’ll find lots of termite pictures here too. But this site is also meant to highlight a whole lot more interesting aspects on these insects‚ and feature many species which are NOT pests‚ and which are rare or will never be found in urban environments or human habitation. Second only to ants‚ termites are one of the most numerous insects on earth
