Termites Vs Ants Pictures

The best way to tell what insect you’re looking at is to catch one and look at it up close and personal.

The first thing you’ll notice–if you’re looking at a termite–is that the wings are about ⅓ or ½ inch longer than the body and completely rounded on the ends, as mentioned earlier.

If you’re looking at a flying ant, you’re likely to notice that the two wings on each side are also unequal in length, and more pointed at the end than termite wings.

Since flying ants are ants, they will look like ants. That is to say, they will have the distinct, pinched waist of an ant. Termites do not have this pinch at the waist.

The antennae on termites and ants are also quite different. Ant antennae have an elbow in them, and they have a stick-like quality.

Termite antennae look like they are made out of many, tiny balls stacked on top of each other, and they are straight.

Termite swarmers are considerably smaller than carpenter ant swarmers. But, since you’re probably not going to find both of these insects swarming your home at the same time, this fact isn’t likely to help you determine which pest you have.

It is good, however, to know that a carpenter ant swarmer can be as much as 13 to 17mm in length. If you’re finding winged insects that are much smaller than this, you probably have termites
