Flying termites, also known as alates, often emerge after rain due to increased humidity and favorable weather conditions that signal the start of their nuptial flight. The moisture helps soften the soil, making it easier for them to disperse and find suitable locations to establish new colonies. Additionally, the rain may reduce the activity of predators, providing a safer environment for their mating and swarming behavior. This synchronized emergence maximizes their chances of successful reproduction and colonization.
