Eventually, this section will contain content relating to the section title. For now, I shall include a quote by D. R. Hofstadter from his Methamagical Themas relating to story by David Moser. Regarding one of my pet peeves: Sentence fragments. From:[1]
Bizarre. A sentence fragment. Another fragment. Twelve years old. This is a sentence that. Fragmented. And strangling his mother. Sorry, sorry. Bizarre. This. More fragments. This is it. Fragments. The title of this story, which. Blond. Sorry, sorry. Fragment after frag-
ment. Harder. This is a sentence that. Fragments. Damn good device.
The purpose of this sentence is threefold:
(1) to apologize for the unfortunate and inexplicable lapse exhibited by the preceding paragraph;
(2) to assure you, the reader, that it will not happen again; and
(3) to reiterate the point that these are uncertain and difficult times and that aspects of language, even seemingly stable and deeply rooted ones such as syntax and meaning, do break down. This sentence adds nothing substantial to the sentiments of the preceding sentence but merely provides a concluding sentence to this paragraph, which otherwise might not have one.
Sap which oozes from wounds or as a result of sap-sucking insects or other animals is an exudate.[1][2] When dried, this exudate becomes crystallized and is referred to as 'manna'.[3][4] This is a food source[5][6] and is important to a variety of animals such as the Honeyeater,[7]Sugar glider,[8] and is sometimes harvested by ants.[9]

Small quantities of manna, known as Briaçon manna, are obtained from the common larch, Larix Europæa.

Termites are small soft-bodied social insects. Although resembling ants, and commonly called white ants (especially in Australia), they are not closely related. They have recently been re-classified, given their own epifamilyTermitoidae, belonging to the cockroach order Blattodea.
Termites divide labor among castes, produce overlapping generations and take care of young collectively. Termites consume cellulose from dead plant material, including wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung. About 10% of the estimated 4,000 species are considered pests that can cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests. However, because termites consume decomposing plant matter, they are of considerable ecological importance as recyclers, particularly in the subtropical and tropical regions.
Termites live in colonies as insects of the highest level of social organization, Eusociality. At maturity a termite colony can number from several hundred to several million individuals. A colony uses a decentralised, self-organised system of activity guided by swarm intelligence which exploits food sources and environments which would be unavailable to an individual insect. A typical colony contains nymphs (semimature young), workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals of both sexes, sometimes containing several egg-laying queens.
