Termite Inspections
		King and Queen  Each colony is built around a King and Queen, whose sole function is reproduction. The King helps the Queen establish the nest and remains with her throughout life. Workers  Worker termites "commute" between the colony and sources of food, including wood fibers and other forms of cellulose which they eat, digest, and share with other members of their colony (Soldiers, Nymphs, and Reproductives). They keep busy 24 hours a day. These workers rarely break through the surface of the wood. Instead, they work from inside. As a result, the cast majority of their work is not visible to the untrained eye until lots of damage is done. Soldiers  Unlike worker termites, Soldiers have long strong jaws attached to a large armored head. The Soldiers sole function is to protect the colony from outside enemies, especially ants. Nymphs  Nymphs are baby termites. They are fed regurgitated food by worker termites for two weeks after hatching. Nymphs undergo a series of growth stages before assuming a role (Worker, Soldier, or Reproductive) in the termite colony.
