Unhelpful links
I have unlinked the linked words "imago" and "nymphs". I believe that neither link is helpful to the reader. The both link to Termite, where the word "imago" does not appear, and "nymph" is defined "Some termite species do not have a true worker caste, instead relying on nymphs that perform the same work without differentiating as a separate caste" so a species cannot have both soldiers and nymphs.

 * The link is to the only page that at least partially covers the caste structuring of the species. Im not sure what you mean with the comment that a "species cannot have both soldiers and nymphs".-- Kev  min  § 23:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * If the workers do not differentiate as a separate caste, then how can the soldiers differentiate as a separate caste? But the article shows that this species had a soldier caste. Maproom (talk) 09:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The termite article is saying that some species do not have a worker caste, rather the function of the workers is carried out by immature forms (nymphs) of the soldier and queen/king caste. Its quite reasonable for this to happen and does not mean that if there is no worker caste then there can be no soldier caste.  As you have seen, Krishna uses the all the terms I liked to Termite#social structure.-- Kev  min  § 13:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
