RE: Some species of ants and termites perform suicidal altruism where they explode to protect the rest of the colony from an intruder

I'm happy to hear that you liked it, @xawi! It can be pretty strange for us to comprehend how they would be willing to commit suicide to protect their colony, but just keep in mind that eusocial insects are a lot different to us humans; the entire colony acts almost like a single organism.
