Termites – Life’s Ultimate Architects
DVD this is pulled from only available from the UK: http://bit.ly/4AayR2
This bit about termites is so amazing, that it completely altered my understanding of the social order and man’s supposed dominance of it. This termite colony’s complex and unlikely construction is truly a testament to the incredible power of natural selection. The structure has air conditioning, a sewage system, food storage, fungus cultivation, and would be over a mile high if built to human scale. Truly astounding. Watch for the creepy shots of the termite queen near the end to see James Cameron’s obvious inspiration for the queen at the end of Aliens.

You are right. I used to work for National Geographic and though this was not NG – they did crawl into some termite houses – often had to wreck a portion to get into them – oh from what I hear – a small man can get into them and Richard shown here in the video isn’t a big man – shows what the troll knows lol

Of course he isn’t crawling around inside a real termite nest. It’s human built structure just for the fotage. The same goes for filming the queen. Do you really think they searched all the tunnels with a mini-camera to find her? It’s a huge terrarium.
