Mate, I've never seen termites like that but, where you at at, anything is possible.

Another thing that you could do to improved the creature image is, if you have the original pic and has plenty of MB's that mean that you have good detail so, instead of reducing the whole pic to fit within the pic size require for the forum, simply "crop" the creature image and you will find that it may just be the right size, if not, you still can adjust the image size but, the image will be focussing on the creature and not so much on its surroundings...!

It would be interesting to find out what species of termites they are...!
