Yes but not distinct like ants since not segmented, one of the ways to tell the difference between the two, also antenna is straight vs elbowed, beaded instead of having club at end and wings are different

Yes, termites do fly at certain stages of their life. They can be seen "swarming" usually in the spring. You can see their wings before they are shed in a later stage of development.

Only certain male termites are born with wings and they anly come out at the time of season when they will mate with a queen from another colony.
