白蚁是一种喜欢吃木制品的害虫,它能使木制的墙裙、吊顶变成“纸糊灯笼”,木地板变成“酥脆的锅巴”。据明朝李时珍著《本草纲目》记载:“白蚁,即蚁之白者,一名里,一名飞螘,穴地而居,蠹木而食,因湿营土,大为物害”。在生物学上白蚁是多形态昆虫,属等翅目,形状像一般的蚂蚁,喜群居。 Termite is a kind of pest that likes to eat wood products. It can make wooden skirts and ceilings into “paper paste lanterns” and the wood floor becomes “crispy casserole”. According to the Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen’s “Compendium of Materia Medica” records: “The termites, that is, the white of the ant, one in, one flying ant, the hole in the ground, and the wood and food, because of the wet camp soil, greatly harmed.” In biology, termites are polymorphous insects of the order Isoptera. They are shaped like ordinary ants.
