Size edit

Amazing creature! I almost went blind, however, re-reading the wiki trying to figure out the size of the Mastotermes. I couldn't find ANY info that would indicate if this creature is the size of a small ant, the size of a giraffe, or somewhere in between. It was driving me nuts, so I did some web-exploring and came across this info regarding the size of the Mastotermes (I included the website reference, too):

"Size: The alates are about 35mm with 50mm wingspan. Soldiers are 11mm – 13mm long. Workers are 10mm - 11.5mm long." REFERENCE: http://www.ozanimals.com/Insect/Giant-Northern-Termite/Mastotermes/darwiniensis.html

I'm not sure how to "properly" include the size info in the wiki, that's why I'm writing in the "Discussion" and I hope "somebody" (maybe me?--later on if nobody else is interested) will update the wiki article on the Mastotermes TO INCLUDE ITS SIZE.
