Then comes, the larval stage in which further development of the insect takes place. A protective covering is formed all around the insect. This covering not only keeps it safe from the external weather but also give it a perfect atmosphere to grow into any of the three kinds of termites namely, worker, soldier, and the nymph. It cannot be predicted to which form of termite the larva will develop into. This stage is followed by the stage where it becomes an Alate having wings and has the ability to fly.
