Habits

The winged caste, also referred to as the reproductive caste that consists of male and female termites are dark brown to black in color and about 3/8-inch long. They have brownish gray wings which are larger than their body and small pore on their heads. The workers on the other hand are white in colour and are wingless with straight antennae and bodies. The soldiers, like the workers have white bodies but are larger with light orange heads.

Termites are social insects that are divided into castes and live in large colonies. There are three castes ; the reproductives who are responsible for laying eggs and increasing the family of termites, the workers who are the largest in number and are responsible for feeding the reproductives and the soldiers who protect the colonies from predators like ants.
