Termites are ametabolous insects. The life cycle consists of three stages: egg,
nymph, and adult (Pearce, 1999). All termites begin their lives as eggs which hatch into
the young or nymphs, which are immature termites and resemble to the adult except that
the youngs are smaller and usually possess wing pads and undeveloped reproductive
system, whereas the adults posses fully developed wings. The nymphs are developed by
moulting or shedding their outer cuticles several times until they develop to the mature
forms as sterile workers or soldiers, depending to the need of the colony. These
developments are determined by extrinsic factors such as pheromones and hormones of
the queen. The entire life span of termites is 4 years. However, some queens can live over
10 years
