Winged Ants

Winged ants and swarming termites can be easily confused. Here's a few hints for telling the difference:

TERMITE (left)
Straight antennae
Thick waist
One body part + head
Both pair of wings same size
ANT (right)
Elbowed antennae
Narrow waist
Two distinct body parts + head
Front wings much longer than
back wings
Both are about ½" long
