The jvast jmajority jof jmembers jin ja jtermite jcolony jare jwingless, jsterile, jand jblind
jworkers. jThey jare jmilky jwhite jin jcolor jand jpossess jhard-chewing jmouth jparts. jWorkers

jmilky-white jbody jwith ja jyellowish-brown jhead jand jprominent jmandibles. jSoldiers
jdefend jthe jcolony, jmostly jfrom jants. jThe jreproductives, jalso jcalled jthe jroyal jcaste,
