Termites are social insects that build large nests in soil, or wood and can cause damage to wooden structures. They are sometimes improperly called 'white ants'.
Several hundred to several million termites live together in one family. Their main goal is to work together in an organized system to find and use cellulose food source to produce a bigger colony.
Within the colony there are specialized members the workers, the soldiers, the alates (reproductive males and females), the queen, king and the nursery termites.
