SOS messages

 
Termites can also send SOS messages by just banging their heads against the walls of their tunnels! Before they hit the walls, each termite raises its head about one millimetre off the ground and slams it on the wall at the rate of about 100-200 millimetres per second, which alerts the termite community that one of its kind is in trouble.
