Ants distinguished from termites. Ants have a narrow waist, elbowed antennae, and (if wings are present) hind wings that are much shorter than the forewings. Termites have beaded antennae, a broad waist, and wings (if present) that are of equal length. Credit: Adapted from an illustration by Franz Baumhackl in Termites and Other Wood-Infesting Insects.
