Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the winged reproductive caste (alate) of the magnetic termite. Amitermes meridionalis, commonly known as the magnetic termite or compass termite, is a species of eusocial insect in the family Termitidae. It is endemic to northern Australia and the common names derive from the fact that the wedge-shaped mound is aligned with its main axis running north and south.
