Summary description from Wikipedia:
Coptotermes lacteus
Coptotermes lacteus, the milk termite, is a species of termite in the family Heterotermitidae, native to Australia. These termites are social insects and build a communal nest in the form of a mound. From this, a network of galleries extends through the nearby soil, enabling the workers to forage in the surrounding area without emerging on the surface of the ground.
