What is another word for Order Isoptera?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔːdəɹ ˈa͡ɪsəptəɹə] (IPA) 
Order Isoptera is commonly known as termites, which are small, social insects that feed on wood and other materials containing cellulose. There are several synonyms for the term "Order Isoptera", such as white ants or wood ants. These names are often misleading, as termites are not ants at all and are much more closely related to cockroaches. Other synonyms for termites include termite bugs, timber-eaters, and silent destroyers. Despite their small size and often hidden nature, termites can be incredibly destructive. It's important to identify and eliminate termite colonies early to prevent expensive damage to wooden structures.
