A:Termites and ants can look quite similar. Here are a few ways to tell them apart:
Wings: Termites have wings in the front and back that are equal in length and double the size of their body. Ants have shorter wings that are not the same length. Their front wings are longer than their back wings.
Antennae: If you see an insect with straight antennae, it’s a termite. If the antennae are bent, it’s an ant.
Body: Ants have a narrow waist and termites do not.
