Is there a photo with an unobscured view of the head of a soldier (showing the pointed 'gluegun' snout)? There might be one in the top right of the first image but I could not enlarge it enough to see properly against the similar-coloured background.

Hi Don, Photo 1 is a cropped version of Photo 2 but I have added a 3rd photo that is the best I could find. I was concentrating more on the scorpion under the same wood, but I'm sure I could find the piece of wood again and try for better photos. I'm sure the termites will still be there.
