Winged termite

Winged ant

Ants are sometimes mistaken for winged termites called swarmers.

Ants are different from termites by having a narrow, constricted waist, bent antennae and hind wings shorter than front wings.

Termites have a more rectangular-shaped body with no constrictions; straight, beaded antennae; and four wings of equal size and shape that are much longer than the body. Termite wings fall off easily and are usually found near where they emerge.

Ants are commonly seen in the open, as are winged termites when they swarm. But termite workers, which are creamy-white and wingless, avoid light and are rarely seen unless disturbed.
