796. Queen Termites: The Longest-Living Insects

Termite queens are renowned for their incredible lifespans. While the exact lifespan can vary depending on species, some termite queens have been estimated to live for over 50 years, and in rare cases, even up to 100 years.

This extraordinary longevity is a result of several factors:

* Slow Metabolism: Termite queens have a relatively slow metabolism, which contributes to their extended lifespan.
* Protective Environment: Nest conditions are typically stable and free of predators, providing a favorable environment for long-lived individuals.
* Reproductive Role: As the sole or primary egg-laying individuals in the colony, termite queens have a vital role that necessitates a long lifespan to ensure the colony's survival.
