Wow, very cool!
Where the heck did you find it? I've always wanted to see a termite queen, I'm so curious to see what they look like "in person".

 
My first queen termite
She was under a big rock, in one of the exposed tunnels. It looked like she was trying to move underground, but at that size, she was pretty slow.
