I invite you to learn more about termites, their physical mounds and their rearing of young.

Specifically, how a co-evolved gut parasite allows termites to do the things they do and requires a fecal transplant, at birth, for every new termite.

In the continuum between beaver dams and human highways this kind of physical and biological organization should figure prominently… and I hope you find it interesting.
