I'm not gonna lie. This is my first time seeing a termite queen.

[winterlandneolia]

There are times when being the Queen was actually nothing good. Imagine living your whole life inside a cave to continuosly give birth and the moment menopause hits, you get eaten ! Ugh.

[maxtherrien]

They eat the queen because they don't wanna waste food

[ipfreely]

I'm sure it dissolves her.

Lol didn't get paid any overtime, it never gets old 🤣

Being a termite queen is an obligation, a responsibility. .it is her duty for that their kingdom will continue growing, even on though 9n her retirement got eaten alive. .a true leader. .

Thanks to internet this is the first time I see queen of termite

[epicisnotverysane]

Love the fact that some kings joins the workers for some reason while his wife gets devoured

[GaisSacredCreations]

Flashback to Aliens (1986) when Ripley sharts shooting the Xenomorph queen's egg-laying body...

Proof that power comes from the people not the royals!

[lcjennah]

They love her so much that they have to eat her to keep a part of her in them selves.

[Prince.MNBEAM]

They must have French Heritage, heads will roll

[toybox]

They're revolting! Down with the monarchy!!

[balakey]

They just didn't waste the nutrition that a queen had, it good for colony, if you tell a story about nature, nothing in there going to waste

[EREDITZ-]

I found those in my grandmas house i found them at a edge of a door, i found a weak old wood and i decided to break it once i broke it, i saw some white little termites just farming wood



And i another thing when i was cleaning with my other grandma she saw a paper plate in her cabinet with TERMITES With it, the termites must be a good miner ya’ll







Okay which one is worst termites or mosquitos

[deniseespinoza]

Those are the thick bugs Timon and Pumba eat.

[johnapiang]

Stop that sound it's so disturbing

[joshuagiambra]

My thought when it says "they start locking her more aggressivly... to devour her." 😳😬😅

[AcidxAnarchy]

This music coupled with the video is giving me the creeps

[maryrizor]

The Queen probably won’t make any more eggs so the ants use her to feed the colony

[TheMotherofTacos]

is this why all those people lined up to see Queen Elizabeth?
