Here he have a minor worker of a Macrotermes species i pictured in Camerun surrounded by several of her major soldier sibilings. The bite of the latters where extremely painful, not only for the ease their slashing-type mandibles could but trough human skin but also for the cocktail of benzoquinones they abundantly secreted into the wound, which burned very sharply.
This fungus-growing species build large and majestic mounds with a very complex interna architecture; i've also seen their mature queen and it was truly massive!
I'll likely talk more about them in a proper post with a full photogallery (queen included), but for now here's this snippet about this amazing critters.
