informed these ants about the termites' security system. This Power

Another Means of Communication

Termites also communicate using sound. By striking the walls of
the tunnels with their heads, worker and soldier termites produce vi-
brations throughout their nest that summon other termites. The other

termites feel this reverberation with extremely sensitive feelers in their
legs.
The termites know that they will produce a reverberation
throughout the nest by striking the tunnel walls with their heads and
that this message will be understood by the other termites. This meth-
od of communication resembles Morse code. Of course, someone must
be trained in Morse code; no one can learn the code spontaneously by
chance and make random sounds that others can understand. Both the
sender and the receiver must know the code, or no matter how impor-

tant the message, it can't be understood.
Just as Morse code cannot be learned spontaneously, so termites
cannot have discovered their communication code by chance. Termites
must know this communication system from the moment they are
