The scientific or taxonomic name would be Reticulitermes flavipes.
Isoptera
Order: IsopteraSpecies:As of 1996, about 2,800 termite species are recognized, classified in seven families. These are arranged here in a phylogenetic sequence, from the most basal to the most advanced:Mastotermitidae (1 species, Mastotermes darwiniensis)Hodotermitidae (3 genera, 19 species)HodotermitinaeKalotermitidae (22 genera, 419 species)Termopsidae (5 genera, 20 species)TermopsinaePorotermitinaeStolotermitinaeRhinotermitidae (14 genera, 343 species)Coptotermitinae HolmgrenHeterotermitinae FroggattProrhinoterminae Quennedey & Deligne, 1975Psammotermitinae HolmgrenRhinotermitinae FroggattStylotermitinae Holmgren, K & N, 1917Termitogetoninae HolmgrenSerritermitidae (1 species, Serritermes serrifer)Termitidae (236 genera, 1958 species)Apicotermitinae (42 genera, 208 species)Foraminitermitinae (2 genera, 9 species)Macrotermitinae (13 genera, 362 species)Nasutitermitinae (80 genera, 576 species)Sphaerotermitinae (1 genera, 1 species)Syntermitinae (13 genera, 99 species)Termitinae (90 genera, 760 species)
It is usually rare for ant and termite colonies to interact, but in situations where the two colonies come into contact it depends on the species, size, and type of the two insects. In many cases, though, the more aggressive ant species will consume the termite colony.
Some species can spray a chemical out of their snout, such as nasute termites
Subterranean termite colonies count 1-1.5 million, drywood termite colonies 5-6 thousand. www.primetermite.com 800-205-6707
mutualism is when 2 organisms benefit from each other. the termite benefits from the Trychonympha because the Trychonympha breaks down the CELLULOSE in the wood that the termites eat, which helps the digestive system "clear out". The Trychonympha benefits from the termite because the Trychonympha gets CELLULASE from the termite, which is the thing in the Trychonympha that actually does the "breaking down" of the cellulose. Without eachother, they wouldn't be able to survive.

Overall Ants are "stronger" as in being able to defeat termites in battle. But of course it depends on the species.
A termite lives in a log and its job is to dig.
It is the movement of a termite.
