# Talk:Termite

The text states that "In physogastric species, the queen adds an extra set of ovaries with each moult".  My understanding was that insects do not molt after reaching maturity (as defined by by sexual reproduction and wings; Ephemeroptera are a partial exceptino).

I think the section on Mounds should be categorized as a stub in its current state. I'm puzzled that the subject of the Termite Mounds, which I find amazing - but unfortunately does not have enough expertise to write about myself - is not explored in more depth, but only mentioned in very broad terms. I urge people to extend that section - or perhaps "Termite Mounds" should be a topic on its own? Robbiedsl 27 Jun 2006

I kinda browsed through the article, though I didnt see anywhere that termites are used as a foodstuff. I know that in many parts of africa the "flying ants" are used as a common food, when in season. Also the queen is sometimes dug up and eaten. These are still common practices. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fitz05 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 26 July 2007

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Kalotermitidae which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  —RMCD bot 02:36, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
