“The large majority of termite species are not pests under any circumstance, but instead carry out wholly beneficial activities.”
(Bignell, 2006)

“The evidence is overwhelming that the roach Cryptocercus is either the ancestor of termites, or is closely related to the ancestor, which is extinct” 
(Cleveland et al., 1934)
