What Are Termites?

​

Termites are social insects that live in organized colonies similar to bees and ants. Termite nests are highly structured communities where termites split into two major groups, according to their reproductive ability.
The sterile termites are wingless blind workers and soldiers who stay underground to do the heavy lifting such as foraging and nest building. Termites are “social cockroaches” that evolved from a common stem with cockroaches about 220 million years ago. Although termites are often called “white ants” because of their pale color, termites are developmentally related to cockroaches. In fact, ants are the primary predators of termites.
