The termite life cycle is very unique. After their development stages, they branch off into different paths to form castes. The termite life cycle contains these stages: egg, nymph, older nymph, worker, soldier, drone, and queen.
Termites follow this path through their life stages:
- Male and female reproductives will swarm and start another colony in a new home.
- The queen termite will start to lay eggs.
- Larvae will emerge and become nymphs.
- The nymphs will molt three times before reaching maturity.
- When ready, the termite will be assigned a caste.
