Save Tree Save Life

The neem tree (Azadirachta indica) is attacked by termites and a palm squirrel (Funambulus pennantii) wanders around the neem tree to eat those termites, occasionally hugging the tree as if it is its protector. The termite feeds on only the upper dry layer of the tree trunk and covers that portion with moist soil. They never attack the live and healthy trunk or any other healthy part of a tree. Squirrels like the taste of termites. Raw termites taste like pineapple, refreshing mint, or carrots. Termites are a rich source of protein, fat, zinc, iron, calcium, essential fatty acid, and amino acids such as tryptophan. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on june 12, 2023.
