Also known as flying ants, it is a type of termite. They usually appear after rain or in humid weather during summer, with well-developed wings and the ability to fly. The body length is generally between 1-2 centimeters, and the color is usually yellow brown or black. They will appear in large numbers during the breeding season, searching for mates and mating. The wings of the water ant will fall off after mating, and the female ant will search for a suitable place to build a new ant nest. It has extremely strong reproductive ability and has a certain destructive power on crops and wood. Therefore, people often need to take measures to prevent and control their quantity.

Also known as Giant Mountain Ant or Carpenter Ant, it is a widely distributed genus in the ant family, with over 900 known species worldwide. Known for its strong adaptability and large number, the total number of individuals may exceed the sum of all other animals. Digging nests in wood, especially in humid environments such as near bathrooms and sinks, has a complex nest structure consisting of main and subsidiary groups. Food sources are diverse, including small insects, honeydew, and plant secretions, which have a certain effect on controlling pests. Although they do not cause as much damage to wood as termites, their presence and activity still require people's attention.
