You sent me down a rabbit hole about Termites and now I'm reading about Autothysis wherein certain species of Termite will rupture glands to produce a sticky substance to block tunnels when the colony is attacked.
Termites are rad. I mean us humans dislike them since they sometimes mistakenly eat our houses, but they have developed a lot of cool and surprisingly intricate survival strategies.
They totally are. I was just reading about how certain species have soldier termites that don't have mandibles they just spit toxic goo at enemies and rely on worker termites to feed them. Fascinating!
