The term 'Tiny Tunneler' refers to two small insects, the TERMITE and the ANT. Termites are wood-eating insects that can cause extensive damage to wooden structures. They are usually found in warm climates and have a seven letter scientific name. Ants are also small insects that live in colonies and are known for their ability to build complex tunnels. They have a three letter scientific name. Both termites and ants are considered tiny tunnelers because of their ability to dig intricate tunnels and burrows.
