All about the termite

The termite is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in underground and in wood in warm places, and it eats wood. It clicks its head to warn the nest. This page is a good fit for ages 6 to 10 (1st to 5th Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the termite one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
