They look like they have only two wings. (Ants and wasps would
have four wings.)


It's a bit hard to tell how many wings they have from the pics I've seen

It can be very hard to tell when resting as some insects manage to
overlap on rest.

And you know they know exactly wht they are doing if they can not tell
the difference between termites and ants.
