Coptotermes acinaciformis

TaxID: 72654

Basic Information

Coptotermes acinaciformis

Subterranean Termite

Coptotermes acinaciformis is a species of subterranean termite in the family Heterotermitidae native to Australia. Termites are social insects and build a communal nest. In the case of C. acinaciformis, this is either in the root crown of a tree or underground. From this, a network of galleries extends through the nearby soil, enabling the workers to forage in the surrounding area without emerging on the surface of the ground. This termite can cause substantial damage to trees and the wooden parts of buildings.
