a nasute termite

A nasute termite stands watch beside a mud tunnel, its snout raised.

The nasute is a soldier of the termite mound, pale and soft-bodied except for its dark, pear-shaped head.  In place of jaws, the head draws out into a long nozzle, which it points at anything that comes near the tunnels of the workers.  When threatened, it squirts a sticky, resinous glue that tangles legs and stings the eyes, and the smell of it brings more soldiers running.
