We turned over a rock a few weeks ago and saw the same thing. My son was delighted to see them all squirming, and I thought it was pretty cool, too.

Unfortunately with our last house, our discovery of termites outside of the house coincided with us discovering them in the house, too. I'm always on the lookout.

A perimeter treatment wouldn't be a bad idea.

Good idea. Also, love the icon :o) Dale's Dead Bug.

in New England? I'm amazed

That we have termites, or that we have only one species?

that you have them at all up there, given the winters

I guess they overwinter pretty far underground, and probably only the reproductives survive.
