Look a bit like Termites to me. Google "Termites" and then click the
Images option. Not exactly the same, but close.

i've done that and i couldnt find anything exactly like them.

i was a bit stressed that they may have been termites

they are only very tiny maybe at the largest being about 3mm long




I found the pic through google groups. They do look like termites, we
have some round here that are about that size. There are many species
round the world, you would need to be an expert to say exactly which
one.

Is your house timber? fade up music from the movie jaws

Maybe a problem if it is on a slab and soil etc is built up around it AND
the wood has been/is water affected. Or on piers and the ant caps are
not effective..

Also need to be the right species and as far as I know, that ain't them.

If OP says he smashed the log/stick open, and there was chambers in it,
then fine, but he said they were on dead grass. In daylight?
