In Australia, they call them white ants. In the zoo at Basel, Switzerland, they have a thriving population on exhibit. In ancient India, they used them as divining agents of underground water.

Here in North Texas, they're just termites, and no one is intentionally keeping any on display or using them to find water. Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage in the U.S. each year. In Fort Worth, structures are particularly vulnerable in the spring when "swarms" of termites in search of food sources look for new places to nest. Termites are associated with attacking and consuming wood, and rightly so, but they can also damage living trees and shrubs, paper, books, insulation and even swimming pool liners and filters.
