The Termite

The Termite is one of the woodland denizens seen in the Muppet Sing Along video, Billy Bunny's Animal Songs. The sunglass-wearing, gravel-voiced insect growls out a tune about his love for chewing tree wood. He has a penchant for rhyming, miscalling Billy Bunny several rhyming names (e.g. "May I offer you a snack, Jack?").
A miniature puppet of the Termite was used in medium shots with Billy, while close-ups have a larger hand puppet on a chroma-key background, to allow his rodded appendages freer movement.
The puppet was originally developed as a character named Spike for the unproduced series W.I.L.D.Jim Henson's Red Book: 4/21/1988 – ‘Lunch w/ Charlie Grinker- Pam Lack- begins what became the Nature Show.’
