I'm trying to identify a green insect I caught for my project and using this:
http://www.earthlife.net/insects/orders-key.html
I got termite.
But the only pictures I've seen of termites so far are brown/black/etc., not green. So can termites be green?

Green Termites

They are often translucent so it might look green if it were eating green food or on a green background. I never saw a green termite but there are about 4000 species.

You're right, they cannot be green. Perhaps a green ant. A picture would be good.
Having a colour would be pointless, since they live underground away from light their entire lives.
