Hi @AlisonMilton , its obviously a Nasutitermes but why exitiosus? For example, N. exitiosus is the only mound building Nasutitermes found locally, so if this timber was from within a mound, then its N. exitiosus, but I think there are at least two other Nasutitermes species here, N. walkeri and N. dixoni.

Thanks Don,
I didn't look at the description. I just knew it was a snouted termite. Will change.
