Trinervitermes trinervoides is a species of termite from family Termitidae from Africa. It has a snout on its head and thus called the snouted termite. The snouted harvester termite (Trinervitermes trinervoides) is a mostly nocturnal species local to South Africa. It is widely distributed and common south of the Limpopo River. The species lives in savannah-grassland areas. The species stores grass within its mounds, just beneath the surface. Evidence showed that it is likely that the species is not polycalic and thus each mound will house only a single colony. The mounding building causes disturbances that build nutritional value as well as improving drainage and fertility. All of these improve vegetation and thus herbivore concentration in an area. Oftentimes these disturbances can be str
