| | Order Isoptera, The Colony, Castes, Termite Ecology |
| | Isoptera is the insect order to which the termites belong. | | | The body plan or morphology of termites is rather simple indicating that they diverged very early in insect evolution from a generalized insect ancestor with gradual metamorphosis and the ability to fold the wings flat over the back. | | | The name Isoptera (iso = equal; ptera = wing) refers to the adult primary reproductives which possess two pairs of equal length wings. |

| | The Termite - Termites - What is a Termite? - The Genus Isoptera - The Mighty Termite - The Wood Eater - White Ants |
| | Isoptera, comes from the Greek meaning Equal-Wings, because when the termite was first discovered, it was believed to be some kind of flying insect; which it is but only, just like the ant, when the young reproductive kings and queens take flight to find new nest sites, so that its species continues to flourish. | | | All termites are social insects and colonies are composed of a distinct social order which include, the Queen, workers, nymphs, soldiers, larvae, and flying-termites. | | | Below is a group of Flying-Termites, the future Kings and Queens of new colonies. |
