Termites in the Backyard

While in the backyard, I saw something white twinkling in sunlight in the backyard. I walked a little closer and discovered it was termites swarming. Went inside, got my camera and came back out. But by then the termites had pretty much stopped swarming and had settled into the greenery. I missed the best photo ... of the termites swarming in broad daylight. The sunlight reflecting off their wings really sparkled ... but I missed that.

Looks good to me. What I've learned is the swarmers, unlike the workers, love sunlight but once they start swarming they are harmless. Paul
