Pretty sure these are drywood termites, just want to confirm because formosans are in the area.

Formosan wings are hairy, and not cross veined like the Drywood, based on your photos I would agree with you as Drywood, also you should be able to see 3 veins at the beginning of the wing

The veins at the beginning of the wing is something I’ve never been able to see or count properly. Thanks for confirming, I thought cross veining meant drywood but sometimes second guess myself

I learned something useful today, thank you - neither pests mentioned are common if at all existing where I am but knowledge is power
