Gromphadorhini Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 At the end of the week, a family of Reticulitermes lucifugus termites will visit me. I really love termites and have always wanted to have them in my collection. Previously, this was not possible, but now you can collect at least about a dozen species. I had experience (unsuccessful) with termites of this species, but there were few individuals (pseudoergats, larvae and soldiers) and they did not survive. Now, I was given a whole family with sexes and a large number of pseudo-ergats and soldiers. I really hope that everything will work out with them. Have you had any experience keeping termites? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthroverts Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Don't tell @Dragozap, ha ha, he's always after more Reticulitermes. Do share some photos when they arrive though, such an interesting genus. Thanks, Arthroverts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromphadorhini Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Pseudoergats Reticulitermes lucifugus. The photo, unfortunately, is of low quality, since there is no technical possibility… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgar galatur Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Grid-pattermed woodworm that flees the light. "lucifugus" is an awesome name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
