The termites’ reaction to pheromones in different colors of ballpoint pen ink. Abstract: We conducted the experiment with termites in order to determine how they react to pheromones present in different colors of ballpoint pen ink. The experiment consisted of two parts: in first part we used a ballpoint pen with blue ink‚ in second – a ballpoint pen with red ink. The reaction of termites was measured by their performance in 1 minute. Every termite in experimental group went through 3 tries in each

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 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

Termite behavior when exposed to pen ink Abstract To test the hypothesis that termites are more attracted to ballpoint pens than pencils‚ highlighters‚ and sharpies. A random-single termite was given out of a jar of termites and placed in a petri dish‚ which trapped the termite. Paper‚ pencils‚ pens‚ highlighters‚ and sharpies were also given out. Each group drew multiples circles on the paper with all 3 of the writing utensils. The circle the class used was shaded in halfway with paper mate

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

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

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
