            When termite nests first appear above the
            ground, they look like one or two small
            mounds about 30 cm. (12 inches) in height.
            Later other cone-shaped mounds are built beside them. The original mounds
            gradually grow higher and wider. The number of mounds constantly increases
            together with the width of the base. The highest part of the nest is in the center.
            The spaces between the separate mounds are filled in, and the nest is completed
            with a dome.
