Cryptotermes cavifrons
Florida Drywood Termite
Cryptotermes cavifrons is a drywood termite native to North America, commonly known as the Florida Drywood Termite. It constructs one-piece nests entirely within dry, solid wood, where the colony lives and feeds without foraging outside. The species exhibits very low cuticular and nest microbial loads compared to dampwood termites, reflecting its arid nesting environment.
