Nasutitermes triodiae is a grass-eating species of snouted harvester termite that occurs in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is known as the Cathedral Termite because of the very high mounds it constructs. It is also sometimes referred to as the spinifex termite, since it is found in the spinifex grasslands.
