I just ask because termites swarms look exactly like lots of "flying ants" in the U.S..

Termites can fly? None of us is safe.

When they swarm, yes.

Haha I was unaware of the wings as well.

I believe they shed them soon after the swarm, but I have personally seen this before in a rent house years ago. I left the back porch light on and they swarmed the entire back door. I was like, wth are flying ants doing on my back porch? I googled it, learned that the house was probably engulfed with termites, and moved out of that house soon after.
