termite larvae

Larvae are the immature stages and resemble very small workers. Larvae grow through a number of molts to become workers, nymphs or soldiers. They are cared for by workers until they have reached the worker stage. Nymphs are immature individuals with wing buds. Then through a number of molts, they eventually become alates (flying termites). Nymphs are also cared for by workers until they have molted into alates and fly out.
