Termite mud tubing 白蟻路
Since termites do not have
shell to protect themselves,
they cannot expose to air or
else they will die within two
hours due to dehydration.
Therefore they need to make
“mud tubes” to keep the
moisture and forage under it.
由於白蟻沒有殼保護其身體，
故此牠們不能長時間暴露於空
氣中，否則牠們會在兩小時內
因脫水而死，所以牠們需要築
起“蟻路”以保持濕度，並以
蟻路作為尋找食物的隧道。
Foraging route 尋找食物路線
Termites can forage
(wood as food) for a
distance of 500 feet
from the colony.
They may get into
our houses through
water pipes as they
provides moisture to
termites. 白蟻能夠離

物(木)。由於白蟻需
要水份，牠們往往通
過水管進入我們家裡。
