Australian Exterminator Survives on Termites

An Australian pest control expert became lost in the Outback without food or water and ironically survived on a diet of termites.

52-year old Theo Rosmulder was prospecting with his metal detector when he became separated from his group. He feared he would never be found, but managed to survive the harsh night. The next day, he found a termite's nest and knocked the top off of it. He survived by feasting on the insects, which he says "don't taste too bad."

A small group of Aborigines found Mr. Rosmulder Tuesday.
