**RARE** TERMITE SWARMERS TRANSFORMATION IN A TERMITE COLONY

Watch the wonderful transformation of termite nymphs into termite swarmers.
Using a Termitat (termite habitat featuring the forest-dwelling Dampwood Termite), we observe how termite nymphs morph into a soldier and alates (the winged form of a termite). The compound eyes were the first to develop and then the bumps on the back.
The transformation happened in a matter of a couple of days, where we document the rarely seen morph.

More information from the Termitat:
Soldiers or nymphs midway through their many molts can morph into a king or queen.
These are called supplementary reproductive.
Flying females search for a nesting site. Her goal is damp wood with crevices in the first stages of decay. Smell and sight help her find a favorable spot. When she arrives, she stops, waves her abdomen in the air, releasing a male-attracting chemical. She waits. If she's lucky, a male arrives quickly before a predator discovers her.
Winged males look for a female. The male grooms the queen by stroking her with his mandibles. The queen finds a favorable opening into the log, and the male follows.
When she is satisfied with the nuptial chamber, the king and queen enter. But before they enter, they lose their wings and are tossed over their heads. Then, they seal the entrance with fecal cement and wood chips, closing the door on the outside world forever.
