DO NOT REPEAT AT HOME IF YOU STILL NEED YOUR HOUSE, HANDS AND FACE. Thermite is not only an insect, but also a powdered mixture of aluminum (less often magnesium) with oxides of various metals, which burns so well and actively that it can be used to weld rails and repair ships right underwater. Derek Muller from the Veritasium channel will tell you why this happens and how metals can burn at all.
