Ive heard of “flying termites”. Do formosan termites fly?
All of our property infesting termites have a swarming stage where they fly. The winged reproductives (alates) of formosan termites typically swarm from early May until early June. These swarms occur following a rainy or damp time, and will occur after mid-day typically towards evening. The swarms are usually quite large with up to several thousand termites not being unusually large. The alates will have 4 wings of equal size that are shed shortly after swarming occurs, they will be tan or light brown in color, and they will have a single body segment.
