Trying to identify an insect can you help?

Question

Are termite atracted to light like moths? There a bunch of fliying insects in my bed room that swarm my reading light and seem to congrigate on or around my bed. They look like termites but I am not familiar with termite behavior. These insects dont seem to mind ME much because the dont scatter or fly away just follow the light when I move it. Are they termites and if not, do you know what they could be? Are there other flying insects that look like termites?

Answer 1

Yes there are insects that look like flying termites.  Quite a few years back I had the same thing and every morning when I got up they were in my bathroom sink (dead) but I'm sure they were there because of the light above the sink.  I showed them to different people and the only answer I seemed to come up with was some sort of flying ant.  

Here's a website that shows you the difference between a flying termite and a flying ant.

Good Luck

PS  I found another website with pictures of flying ants and termites.  They actually note that the termite has a red body and black wings.
