Hey Everyone!!!
Can anyone guess what this majestic structure might be? Majestic at least for them!!
Well Well.. Let me introduce everyone here to a tiny creature which is barely the size of the moon of our fingernail, TERMITE.
And this particular structure in the picture above is where they live that is termite nest.
This picture was clicked on a college science tour in a Wetland and Conservation area, Nepal.
Briefly summoning Termites,
