A queen Formosan subterranean termite at the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity. A single colony of Formosan subterranean termites may contain several million termites that forage up to 300 feet in soil. The queen of the colony has a lifespan around 15 years and is capable of producing up to 2,000 eggs per day. #termite #queen #insect #colony #animal #wildlife #video #footage #photoark | Joel Sartore, Photographer
