Termite
Termites are small insects that live in colonies and have distinct castes (eusocial) and feed on wood or other dead plant matter. Termites comprise the infraorder Isoptera, or alternatively the epifamily Termitoidae, within the order Blattodea (along with cockroaches). Termites were once classified in a separate order from cockroaches, but recent phylogenetic studies indicate that they evolved from cockroaches, as they are deeply nested within the group, and the sister group to wood eating cockroaches of the genus ''Cryptocercus''. Previous estimates suggested the divergence took place during the Jurassic or Triassic. More recent estimates suggest that they have an origin during the Late Jurassic, with the first fossil records in the Early Cretaceous. About 3,106 species are currently described, with a few hundred more left to be described. Although these insects are often called "white ants", they are not ants, and are not closely related to ants. Like ants and some bee ...

Reticulitermes Flavipes
''Reticulitermes flavipes'', the eastern subterranean termite, is the most common termite found in North America. These termites are the most economically important wood destroying insects in the United States and are classified as pests. They feed on cellulose material such as the structural wood in buildings, wooden fixtures, paper, books, and cotton. A mature colony can range from 20,000 workers to as high as 5 million workers and the primary queen of the colony lays 5,000 to 10,000 eggs per year to add to this total. Distribution The eastern subterranean termite (''R. flavipes'') is the most widely distributed ''Reticulitermes'' species. It occurs throughout the eastern United States, including Texas, and can be found as far north as southern Ontario. In 2006, ''R. flavipes'' was also recorded in Oregon, on the West coast of the United States. ''Reticulitermes santonensis'' in France is now understood to be a synonym of ''R. flavipes''.

Reticulitermes
''Reticulitermes'' is a termite genus in the family Rhinotermitidae. They are found in most temperate regions on Earth including much of Asia and the Middle East, Western Europe, and all of North America. Caste descriptions ''Reticulitermes'' species have three general castes: reproductive, worker, and soldier. Reproductive caste In two ''Reticulitermes'' species, '' R. virginicus'' and '' R. speratus'', mother-son breeding systems have been found. This means their colony members are more related to their mothers than their fathers since 50% of their genotype comes from their mother and 50% from their father who also shares 50% of his genotype with their shared mother. This has shown to bias female alate production over males, likely because colony members favor caring for those who they are most related to (see Kin Selection). Worker caste No ''Reticulitermes'' species have a true worker caste, meaning that individuals who are not reproductives or soldiers could theor ...

Coptotermes Gestroi
''Coptotermes gestroi'', the Asian subterranean termite is a small species of termite that lives underground. Both this species and the Formosan subterranean termite, (''Coptotermes formosanus'') are destructive pests native to Asia, but have spread to other parts of the world including the United States. In Asia, this species is known as the Philippine milk termite. The termite species ''Coptotermes havilandi'' was determined by Kirton and Brown in 2003 to be identical to ''Coptotermes gestroi'', so following the principle of priority, the older name is now used. Distribution ''C. gestroi'' is endemic to Southeast Asia, but has spread to many other parts of the world over the course of the last century.

The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution. General overview Heterotermes is a termite genus from the Rhinotermitidae Family. One of their closest relatives is Reticulitermes. And like its relative, some Heterotermes have also been considered pests because they form pretty large colonies; to feed all their members, they need food in massive amounts. Therefore, Heterotermes try to feed themselves by gathering cellulose food from dead tree logs, stumps, and branches, to man-made wooden structures in buildings, books, paper, etc. Heterotermes are also one of the most adaptive termites around, and they have a relatively fast growth rate in mature col ...

Coptotermes
''Coptotermes'' is a genus of termites in the family Rhinotermitidae. Many of the roughlty 71 species are economically destructive pests. The genus is thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. Worker termites from this genus forage underground and move about in roofed tunnels that they build along the surface. In Australia, ''Coptotermes'' colonies sometimes host a parasitic genus of termites, '' Ahamitermes''. The host and the parasite dwell in separate parts of the mound nest and are mutually antagonistic. The ''Ahamitermes'' species live in the innermost parts of the nest and feed on the "carton" material with which the galleries are lined, which consists of soil particles, chewed wood, and cellulose, bound together with saliva and faeces. They are thus dependent on their hosts for both their food and their home and are not found in any other situations.
