admin answers:
The Nasutiterminae is a Sub Family of the Termitinae arose in the early Cretaceous and now has about 75 Genera, the best known of which is Nasutitermes. The soldiers of this group all have reduced jaws and a long pointy snout (‘nasus’) which attaches to the cephalic gland and produces a fine irritating/toxic spray which is used in colony defence, primarily against ants.
The workers have flattish heads and the abdomen is usually as wide or a bit wider than the head: http://www.padil.gov.au/viewPestDiagnosticImages.aspx?id=1681
Donald asks…
What type of insect nest is this? Could it be termites??? (Pictures included)?
I was killing off all the wasp nests I could find today and I found a spot on my roof where it wasn’t sealed. In the entrance there was this nest that looks like nothing I have ever seen before and a couple of others, that I can’t see too well, deeper into the hole… I just want to figure out what it is so I can find out how to get rid of it.

Do Mud termites damage houses? and how could they’ve gotten onto my roof?

Wow, that’s quite an interesting nest, I do not think that it looks like to one on my roof, but it could be and I’m just not looking at it carefully enough…
I’ll try uploading some more photos in a bit.
Thanks guys…

Compared to my photo, I think you guys are right. Any idea on how to get rid of it? I was burning the other ones, but I’m not sure that would work with this one and I don’t wanna risk burning down my house.
admin answers:
Its hard to tell, but it looks a bit like a wasp nest to me. I occasionally see wasps build tube shaped clumps of mud/dirt on the outside of my house.
The picture attached is quite an elaborate nest, compared to what I get, but does it look anything like what you are seeing?
