WINGED TERMITE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Although termites resemble ants, they actually possess
very different characteristics and abilities. Termites
have been living in colonies for millions of years and
have come down to the present day with their
structures totally unchanged. Termite fossils 250
million years old are one of the proofs of this. All the
termites that have ever lived during the intervening
millions of years have been identical to those living
today. Just like worker termites that lived 250 million
years ago, those living today engage in altruistic
behavior, feed the larvae, soldiers and queens, and
build nests many meters in size—despite being
sightless. The characteristics of present-day termites
also apply, without exception, to all termites that have
ever lived.
The termite fossil in amber in the picture is 25 million
years old.
