User's notes
The images show Gluegun termites attending to a break in their covered forageway. The first image provides a close-up view of the hollow snout (Fontanellar gun) that is used to eject a sticky chemical deterrent. Closer inspection of the head and snout appears to show the outline of the teardrop shaped chemical container within the head. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
