There's some huge termite towers in Africa, I wonder how they would look in aluminum or Concrete

I can't help but wonder what they would do if they did indeed get in someone's pants!

I was amazed they could get the concrete to fill the voids throughout that complex w/o agitating it. Almost looked like gyp-crete, that's a lightweight concrete like product that I believe is all gypsum, not sure, there might be some concrete in it. It's used for indoor floors, poured over radiant heat tubing, seeks it's own level pretty well.

Dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant dead ant. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
