I collected many Reticulitermes flavipes alates on 5/7/2019. Small groups were set up in test tubes with cellulose fiber and rotten wood. They do eat cellulose fiber. It’s easier to view the reproductives with white background. Most of them have eggs now. Some groups have workers collected from the original colony.
