10. Nest Construction Materials

Termites have evolved to be able to use and alter many materials for nest building.Various species have developed to interact with materials ranging from earth and wood to saliva-based chemicals, building structures well fit for their surroundings.By means of specialized glands producing binding agents and waterproofing substances, they have been able to build robust constructions resistant to demanding environmental conditions.This material science capacity shows how evolution has given termites remarkable engineering capacity.
