This can be a very troublesome question. Some of the flying winged ants can resemble the winged-swarming termite. Here are some ways do identify the difference between the physical resemblance. While both species have four wings, the termite wings are all the same size and the ant wings have noticeably larger wings in the front as compared to the hind pair. Termites have an almost straight antennae, the ants antennae are elbowed.
Termite wings are twice as long as the body.
Ants appear distinctly segmented, because of their thin-waisted appearance. Termites have a broad-waisted appearance. User information is used for internal purposes only, is not shared or sold.
