Termites, also popularly known as white ants are pale brown to white, have no constriction between thorax and
abdomen and have beaded antennae. A termite colony consists of the termite queen, soldiers and workers. On the basis
of their habitat, termites are divided into two types, namely subterranean and non subterranean termites. It is the
subterranean termites (generally ground-dwelling or requiring contact with the soil or some constant source of
moisture) which are a major cause of concern for humans.
