Termites live in underground colonies and survive by building intricate tunnels and chambers to protect themselves from predators and maintain a stable environment. They feed on wood and other plant materials, which they break down with the help of symbiotic microorganisms in their guts. This allows them to extract nutrients from the cellulose in the wood, enabling them to thrive in their underground habitat.

What is a termite's house?
Termites can be classified into two types based on environment and colony size and they are dry wood and ground termites.1. Drywood termite colonies live within the wood even with minimal moisture level. They do not require the presence of soil for nesting. A mature drywood termite colony can only have hundreds to a thousand termites. It is a tiny size compared to other colonies which could reach over a million termites. They feed on cellulose which is dominantly found in wood and wood based products. These termites can be found inside wood furniture, wooden walls and cabinets, etc.2. Ground termites on the other hand necessitates moisture source in their nest and food for sustenance. They nest underground in soil and build webs of mud tubes as pathway while they forage for food. The mud tunnels also serve as their protection against predators, particularly ants which are their arch enemies. Ground termites are also capable of building nests above ground which are called aerial colonies as long as there is reasonable source of moisture nearby such as leaky pipes, roof and plumbing leaks.
