They fly to it.&nbsp; Northeast termites - as above - when their nest gets too crowded, will send a bunch of morphed ones, with wings, to fly away and start a new nest. They can be confused with flying ants. But NE flying termites only occur every 5 to 10 years in any one location.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
