Japanese scientists have discovered unusual subspecies of the "evolution" threat, which may have existed for tens or even millions of years in Japan.

The researchers noted that this ability may appear in termites after certain mutations. Currently the scientific world will find out whether it is possible to expand such processes and reproduce them in artificial conditions.
