Journal Want Ads Pay- Cass County's Greatest Newspaper The Plattsmouth Journal ON I (FIRST OF TWO ADVERTISEMENTS) 1. COLONY A headquarters is established by the com mon subterranean termite colony. In the nest or terrain most likely located beyond the depth of frost, live the king and queen nymph the soldiers the workers and the immature reproductives. 2. THE ROYAL COUPLE ( King and Queen) The normal colony the queen and king are the only active reproductives and are fed by other, termites. They do not perform any other functions. In some cases they live for 20 or 25 years. 3. EGGS , The older the queen gets her production of eggs becomes greater. Sometimes at the rate of thousands daily. The eggs increase in size during the 10 days to a few weeks of incubation. They are carefully tended, by the "worker" termites. The nymph hatches directly from the egg. 4. NYMPH The newr born nymph must be fed by at tendants for 12 to 14 days. The food is re gurgitated food from the "workers." In this way protozoa (without which termites cannot digest food) are transferred to the nymphs. As it grows and takes up duties in the colony it has a series of moltings called instars. At the final molting it then becomes a worker, a soldier, a supplemen tary reproductive or a reproductive. 5. WORKER The worker lives for several years after maturity. It's usually a grayish white in color. Heaving no eyes and being sterile, the workers function is providing food for itself andtcolony. Usually this food is ob tained from wood. 6. SOLDIER The soldier lives about the same life span as the "worker." It differs from other nymphs by having a long armored head and large mandibles. Its soul function is defense against outside enemies chiefly common ants. 7. SUPPLEMENTARY REPRODUCTIVE To prolong the life of a colony, there are usually supplementary forms present which replace the primary forms, on death. The offspring of supplementary forms is more numerous than those of primary forms because they are polygamous. New colonies are started by the emigration of supple mentary forms from another colony. 8. REPRODUCTIVE The reproductive nymph develops short wings about 4 inch long and wing pads. The" sexual organs develop as the body lengthens slightly Before leaving the col ony the reproductive turns black, the eyes become functional and its wings extend to full limit. 9 SWARMER In the spring, sometimes in the fall, the matured reproductive leave the colony at the same time. The wrorker termites help them through the emergence tunnels lead ing from the nest and seal the exit holes after them. The reproductive termites, being poor fliers, flutter in the air several feet and then fall to the ground. 10. MATE SELECTION As soon as a reproductive alights on the ground the wings are pryed off. Many of them are killed at this time by birds and predatory insects. The surviving males search for mates and approach numerous females before selectins a compatible mate. 1 1. COLONIZATION The new united couple then burrow into the ground to the moisture line and start their own termitary. The queen starts rg laying on a slow basis and during this period the pair must do all their own household work; providing food and caring ior tne 12. THE PATTERN CONTINUES As the queens physical duties decrease the egg production increases. The young nymphs take on more 'and more of her duties. The queens abdomen gradually ex tends because of the enlarged ovary con dition and she becomes a huge egg laying machine. So the life pattern and the ex istence of (he termite continues. 4 4 4 3 i 4 FOR TERMITE EXTERM!
