Field Notes

Habitat:

Found emerging through the leaf litter on their mating flight.

Notes:

Winged termites, alates, emerge on their mating flights in large numbers. They are weak flyers and land everywhere. Here being predated upon by fire ants. Seems very early in the year for them to be flying.
