I was wondering if anyone has a termite colony. Specifically, I think it would be cool to raise them as food for ants, in addition to in their own right. Natural predator/pray relationship with the ants. Colony grows, pick out a few workers from time to time to feed to the ants. I've read generally that their colonies grow a good bit faster than ant colonies. Plus, I figure a $4 bag of wood chips from Home Depot or Lowes will last them years.
But I've literally only seen one termite nest in my life. When I was a kid and I found some stump and ants and termites were going at it. I live in the suburbs of Houston, and my mom was a realtor - I remember her talking about homes infested with them all the time. But they just seem so rare in the urban jungle, unlike ants.
Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated!
