Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) are often used as excellent organisms for an inquiry-based scientific method lab to investigate pheromone communication among social insects. Termites are also useful for the study of symbiotic relationships due to the Trichonympha and Pyrsonympha protozoa that digest cellulose inside the termites’ digestive tract.
