Isoptera

Has any one researched about bites? Not the dog bites or bites from your sibblings in childhood,then what type of bites am I speaking? Dumbstruck ,lets get down to explore into the experience of my bites research.

It was around 11p.m,getting ready to battle with sleep.Before sleeping I have a habit of drinking water as it keeps us away from dehydration for the whole night.So I entered into kitchen to drink water,suddenly heard something which sounds like biting. Wondering what it might be,may be the rat? I am damn afraid of rats and so I rushed to my room to be safe on my part.

The next night,with same routine went to have water.Again heard some bites, I now rushed not to my room but to clarify this with my grany .She told lizards also bite which sounds aloud.I was happy and had some relief that it was not rat.The next morning towards kitchen to have my b’fast,I was able to hear the same bites.Then the same night went to drink water,this time I really wanted to know what was biting because there has not been such noise before in my kitchen and find what sort of sound was it?

My research started—

Stood silently in the kitchen to find the orgin of sound.My ears were opened wide,was nearing the orgin.It was some where from the chair of dining table made of wood.Gave my ears near the chair to confirm whether the sound originated from there.It was from the chair.Now can you guess of who would have been the cause for biting? Yes, they were the Termites and they are also called as Isoptera.Termite is an insect that is destructive to wooden structures.My research ended and there bites were so loud that gave me some words to write in this space.Happy Bites……………………………………….
