Hastatus Mound Termite
An Australian nasute termite that builds small, spire-shaped mounds in northern tropical regions. Colonies are moderate-sized with highly organized foraging columns. Soldiers accompany workers on surface foraging expeditions.

A widespread brown lacewing with strong wing venation patterns. Found across much of the Northern Hemisphere in varied habitats.
