This little termite mud tube popped up inside a kitchen cabinet, actually came up the inside crack from the stem wall of the home. Homeowner quickly spotted the activity and gave us a call to perform a termite treatment on their house.
Always be on the lookout for mud or dirt staining with your home, termites build mud tubes or tunnels on the outside foundation wall to gain access into the house.
As Americans we often think of bugs and we scream or roll our eyes in disgust. I know people around the world have been eating bugs for years and our cave people probably had to eat them. A company in Denver, Colorado came up with an idea – to promote them in eye catching and funny packaging.
“Will Americans buy bug snacks? Maybe… If they’re funny and cute.” As we approach 7 billion people around the world I think we need to really consider some new and novel ideas for food.
Check out these sites for some great ideas on insect funny food: http://littleherds.org/, http://hotlix.com
“Free Food” After an initial bite, the review is in: “It tastes like coconut. Tastes like food, not like bugs.”

The one thing I would bet, would have been whatever they could catch. I’m also sure that is why we gain weight so easily, we are not out looking for and gathering our own lunch.
“Smithsonian – Smithsonian Science Termites for breakfast?”
I also love these stories and how animals and/or insects adapt to their environment.
