The Termite Vs. Flying Ant

Termites resemble ants and can be frequently mistaken for them. Termites have wider and softer bodies than those of ants, as well as termites have shorter and smaller legs.  Termites drop their wings to mate and then try to return to the ground. If you miss the swarm itself, you will find lots of wings on a windowsill or near another heat or light source. The wings are the size and shape of rice, and they are white-opaque and not visible veined. Ants do not usually drop their wings.
