“As eusocial insects, termites live in colonies that, at maturity, number from several hundred to several million individuals. Colonies use a decentralized, self-organized systems of activity guided by swarm intelligence to exploit food sources and environments that could not be available to any single insect acting alone.”
Indeed! Like the environment inside a bank vault.
This just in: Termites have broken into a steel chest stored at a bank in Lucknow, India and eaten 10 million rupees, roughly $222,000 in U.S. currency. How they got into the steel chest is a mystery but I’m thinking they used their swarm intelligence to pull off a team heist like in the 1960 movie “Ocean’s 11” or in this case it would be “Ocean’s 1,000,000.”
That’s a lot to be in on a bank job without word getting out to the authorities but if they have actually eaten the money, there will be no evidence of a robbery.
