"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"

- Jane Austen, opening line of Pride and Prejudice

But unfortunately for both us and them, sometimes those men are winged termites in the Optics Lab.

As Elenna and I were cleaning up our work in the back optics table this afternoon, we noticed a few winged termites, and ended up finding maybe almost 10 in total walking around on the floor in the back area of the optics lab near the wall mounted cabinets between the two cleanrooms. We got rid of them but couldn't find where they had come from. I'm wondering if they're maybe coming from an opening under one of those cabinets? Last year this happened but those came out from under the flow benches along the wall - not sure if this is part of that same colony that survived or a different colony.
