Description: Termite, and wings shed by other termites, on interior window sill (Maryland, United States, April 3, 2020). Picture was taken shortly after exterior ground was treated. Image was cropped and edited in Photoshop to brighten background and increase backgrounds' contrast to termite and wings. Shedding of wings is associated with reproductive swarming. Suggested source describing shedding of wings associated with swarming: Srinivasan, Amia (September 10, 2018). "What Termites Can Teach Us". The New Yorker.
