The termite caste you are most likely to see is the swarmer, or pre-reproductive.

It’s spring in Texas and that means termite season.  This year has reportedly been one of the busier termite swarm seasons for pest control companies.  If you experience a flight of dark, winged insects with bodies just over 1/8-inch long, don’t ignore them.  They could be a sign of termites attacking your home.
