Since 1980 the Big Blue Bug has sat on top of the Providence office and is a well-known Rhode Island icon. At 58 feet long, 9 feet tall and weighing in at 4000 pounds, this termite is world-famous. From movies to TV, to cartoons and newspapers, architecture, design and literature and more, the Big Blue Bug has become an icon deserving of its size.
Constructed of steel and covered with fiberglass, Nibbles Woodaway is a three dimensional eastern subterranean termite, also known as Reticulitermes flavipes and is 920 times larger than the actual size of a real termite.
He has been known to sip on Awful Awfuls, Del's lemonade, and is decorated for Xmas and other holidays.
