Image Subject Name Scientific Name Description
1324059 termites A termite monitoring/baiting station is being installed in a grassy area. The station is manufactured by Dow Agrosciences.
1324063 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus New Orleans Mosquito and Termite Control Board entomologist Ed Freytag checks for Formosan termite infestation of living trees in New Orleans' Jackson Square.
1324066 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Damage to a nest of Formosan subterranean termites brings hoards of workers and soldiers with dark, oval shaped heads scrambling to repair the hole. Termites shown about 4 times actual size.
1324025 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Damage caused by Formosan subterranean termites to a window sill of the Southern Regional Research Center Library. The colony nest was located two floors below in the soil, but workers entered the building through mud shelter tubes that they constructed through the hollow brick walls. The damage went unnoticed until moisture from foraging galleries by the termites caused the paint to blister. Much of the wood had been consumed by the termites before they were detected.
1324061 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Formosan termite alates, also known as swarmers, captured on a sticky trap used to monitor populations.
1324068 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Some remnants of a nest are visible in this cavity, which was hollowed out by Formosan subterranean termites while the tree was still alive. Microbiologist Alan Lax checks the extent of the damage.
1324067 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Formosan subterranean termites can turn solid beams into shredded-wheat-like wood. Entomoligist Ed Freytag (left) and microbiologist Alan Lax inspect damage to the floor of a building in the French Quarter.
1324031 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus A Formosan subterranean termite soldier. Soldiers make up approximately 10 percent of the colony. Note the powerful mandibles for defense against intruders and the dark, oval head shape contrasting with the more rectangular head shape of the native Eastern subterranean termite.
1324064 formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Formosan subterranean termites are feeding on Sudan-red-stained filter paper. Tracking the termites stained with this dye allows researchers to estimate their foraging range and population numbers.
