saluki,

I find this weirdly fascinating. Some and some have created a demilitarised zone of sorts.

    "The termites in the video are thought to be Longipeditermes longipes, a species endemic to Southeast Asia and known for its unique defensive strategy. When a disturbance or threat is perceived, soldier termites will organize themselves into two flanking lanes in defense of an interior center lane, allowing worker termites to continue their tasks."

    @NatureMC @futurebird @MyrmecolNews This isn't exactly what you were looking for, and I can't vouch for this article, but you might be able to extract a few things from this https://termitesdelete.com/do-ants-and-termites-live-together/

    @NatureMC @saluki @futurebird @MyrmecolNews Reminds me of this old episode, which you might find interesting: https://radiolab.org/podcast/226523-ants
