How can I tell the difference between a swarmer and a winged ant?
It’s very easy to identify an ant from a termite if you know what to look for: • Termites have two pairs of wings that are equal in length. Ants have two pairs of wings but they are unequal in length. • Termite wings are about twice as long as their body. Ant wings are just a little bit longer than their body. • Termites have an unsegmented body. Ants have a segmented body (“pinched waist”) with a head, thorax, and abdomen. • Termites have curved antenna. Ants have elbowed antenna.
