Magnetic Termite Mounds Darwin Australia

These termites eat grass and other plant material. A single mound may contain 10,000 plus termites. The mounds are built slab like, oriented north-south. They get sunshine east and west but very little of the mound is exposed to the really hot noonday sun. They are found around Darwin, in low lying areas that flood in the rainy season. The mounds when built near each other look like graveyards.
