Reticulitermes flavipes
Eastern Subterranean Termites are tiny insects that live in colonies underground. They help break down wood and dead plants, which is great for the environment!
生息地: Underground in forests and urban areas
The Eastern Subterranean Termite is mostly creamy white to pale yellow with a soft body, though winged reproductives are dark brown or black. Workers have a broad waist and straight antennae, unlike ants which have pinched waists. Soldiers possess distinctive, larger brownish heads with strong mandibles.
