Termite Workers and Their Role
Termite workers are small in size about ¼ inch in length. They are white or light-colored. The most astonishing fact about termite worker is that they are blind and they depend on their antennae to navigate and communicate. They are wingless as a result they cannot fly. Worker termites are tasked with the maintenance of the colony. They feed and groom the other members of the colony. They consume the wood and other cellulose materials and they regurgitate to feed the colony.
