Yes those things that look like moths that you see around your lights on a very balmy Summer afternoon/evening are actually termites. When a termite nest is mature, each year the Queen sends out a flight of termites to start new colonies. They could be as many as 100,000 termites that fly from the nest within an hour period. Often the only evidence that we have, that there has been a termite flight is that there are a whole lot of wings left in cobwebs and under lights around the outside of our homes. This short video shows what those termites look like when they are flying, and after they have dropped their wings.
