Amazing Architects: Termites
No one can help being taken by sur-
prise upon seeing a termite nest erected
on the ground by termites. This is because
the termite nests are architectural wonders
that rise up as high as 5-6 meters. Within this
nest are sophisticated systems to meet all the
needs of termites that can never appear in sunlight be-
cause of their body structure. In the nest, there are ventilation systems,
canals, larva rooms, corridors, special fungus production yards, safety exits,
rooms for hot and cold weather; in brief, everything. What is more astonish-

Despite this fact, we see, when we compare the size of a termite and its
nest, that termites successfully overcome an architectural project by far 300
times bigger than themselves.
Termites have yet another amazing characteristic: if we di-
vide a termite nest into two in the first stages of its
construction, and then reunite it after a certain
while, we will see that all passage-ways, canals
and roads intersect with each other. Termites
carry on with their task as if they were never sepa-
rated from each other and ordained from a single
place.
The Woodpecker
Everyone knows that woodpeckers build their
nests by pecking tree trunks. The point many people
do not consider is how woodpeckers undergo no
brain haemorrhage when they so strongly tattoo with
their head. What the woodpecker does is in a way simi-
lar to a human driving a nail in the wall with his head. If
