If we kill them, do all the other termites turn back into normal ants?
The common ancestor of termites and ants is a lot more distant than you think.
Termites evolved from cockroaches and ants evolved from wasps.

On the other hand, the answer is that the other termites all turn into crabs.
Ah, queen and drone being able to fly is a leftover from wasps?
And yeah, the end of all arthropoda is always crabs.
I am guessing yes. And the formic acid stinger some ants have is a leftover too.
No, they just all die
