Are termite atracted to light like moths? There a bunch of fliying insects surrounded by my bed room that swarm my reading light and seem to congrigate on or around my bed. They look resembling termites but I am not familiar with termite behavior. These insects dont appear to mind ME much because the dont scatter or fly away just follow the frothy when I move it. Are they termites and if not, do you know what they could be? Are there other flying insects that look similar to termites?
Answers: Yes there are insects that look like flying termites. Quite a few years backbone I had the same entry and every morning when I got up they were surrounded by my bathroom sink (dead) but I'm sure they were there because of the reading light above the sink. I showed them to different people and the only answer I seem to come up with was some sort of flying ant.
Here's a website that shows you the difference between a flying termite and a flying ant.

Good Luck
PS I found another website near pictures of flying ants and termites. They actually note that the termite have a red body and black wings.
