Termite’s life cycle mainly consists of three different cast types of termite or caste types known as reproductive, workers, and soldiers. The life cycle contains an egg, young termite larvae or 

termite nymph, older nymph, worker, soldier, drone, and queen. Once a termite lays eggs 

countless thousands of others hatches, it is then called termite larva. The larva can become 

one of the three castes: workers, soldiers, or a secondary or supplementary reproductive 

termites. This happens based on social, environmental, and termite pheromone cues. The larva 

then molts until it reaches maturity, which usually takes three molts. The larva can become a 

worker or soldier and its life cycle is over until it dies. The larva also could become a 

reproductive alate or secondary reproductive, where it goes on to reproduce and become a 

king or queen termite for another colony. The queen has the longest life, spanning on average 

from 25 years. The other types of termite’s life span vary from 12 to 24 months. 

The stages of development are: Egg -> Nymph -> Adult (which can be secondary reproductive, 

worker, or soldier) 

Termite’s bite and stings are not toxic but they do carry some type of allergies and 
asthma attacks to people. Although preventing termites may not be seen as an 
essential step in protecting personal health, doing so can lower the risk of unwanted 
health problems. Though the termites don’t spread critical diseases, they do damage
