Termites Marching
This photo shows a whole platoon of soldier termites marching along an abandoned piece of rope, derelict for so long it’s turning a bit green. García-Roa said in a Biomed Central release that “these termites used meters of an abandoned rope to move across the Malaysian forest. Once humans disappear, nature recovers its space and uses what is needed to survive.” Indeed, we see similar phenomena in places like the Fukushima Exclusion Zone, where animals take up the spaces humans deemed no longer usable.
