Termite-Ant Wars

Hello
I'm a termite lover (2 reasons:1. they're cute 2. My house never had problems with termite infestations)

I never encountered a termite-ant war personally but I did watch a national geographic documentary where driver ants overcame a termite mound.

1. Has anybody seen a video of termite ant war on the net? If yes please name the source.

2. Do ants mostly win whenever they invade a termite nest? What's the winning rate of ants?

3. Are there any species of termites that may invade ant colonies?

4. Can anyone send me a picture of grass-eater termite soldiers, globitermes sulphureus and cryptotermes abruptus?

5. What species of termites have the largest soldiers?
