Family struggles as thousands of flying termites invade their home in Bandung, Indonesia

On November 5, 2026, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, @DoniAlwan shared a video showing a massive swarm of flying termites, locally known as laron, invading a home. In the video, the floor is covered with countless fallen translucent wings and crawling insects, while several flying termites flutter around the room, attracted to the indoor lighting. The author's two sisters, aged 28 and 20, can be seen covering themselves with blankets and trying to fend off the insects as the infestation spreads throughout the room. The author mentioned that this was the first time in 26 years of living in the house that they had experienced such an infestation. According to reports, winged termites commonly emerge in large numbers during the rainy season, particularly after heavy rainfall. Attracted to artificial lights, they often enter homes, shed their wings, and leave floors and furniture covered in them.
