Which insect forms eusocial colonies?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Exploring the question about eusociality in insects requires checking which group is well-known for forming eusocial colonies.
Option 1: Cockroach. While cockroaches are adaptable and resilient, they do not exhibit eusocial structure or caste systems; they are mostly solitary or gregarious without cooperative brood care or overlapping generations in a colony. 
Option 2: Mosquito. Mosquitoes live in adults and larvae phases but do not organize into eusocial colonies with caste differentiation or cooperative brood care; they are largely solitary or found in aggregations around hosts or breeding sites. 
Option 3: Termite. Termites are classic examples of eusocial insects, exhibiting a caste system (workers, soldiers, reproductives), cooperative brood care, overlapping generations, and division of labor that characterizes eusocial colonies. This is the historically and scientifically recognized eusocial group among these options. 
Option 4: Bedbug. Bedbugs are primarily solitary or living in close quarters with others, but they do not form eusocial colonies with defined castes or cooperative colony-level organization. They lack the caste-based division of labor seen in eusocial insects.
Overall, the evidence supports termites as the insects that form eusocial colonies, due to their complex social structure and coordinated colony behavior.
