Dorylus male alate
In entomology, "alate" usually refers to the winged form of a social insect, especially ants[2] or termites,[3] though it can also be applied to aphids[4] and some thrips.[5]
Alate females are referred to as gynes, and are typically those destined to become queens.[6] A "dealate" is an adult insect that shed or lost its wings ("dealation").[7]
