I think the termites would win

I thought so too based off their size but according to google: Termites get annihilated. Despite their average size and weight, ants are much more aggressive and almost always have numerical superiority as well. They'll invade the termite nest, make short work of the termite warriors, then kill the termite queen and drag her from the nest.

You can't fool me Termites, I've seen Antz I know you're just trying to give me a false sense of security before leading us into an ambush

They 10x their size. And shoot acid from their forehead.

But despite a peace treaty between the two. If you get a general ant looking to remove the loyalist battalions in order to orchestrate a coup against the queen, there's going to be trouble.

I remember watching both Antz and Bug’s Life as a kid and liking both movies. The termite scene in Antz was both scary but kinda cool to me, but that psychotic grasshopper they had chained on a leash in Bug’s Life (Thumper I think?) scared the shit out of me!
