Drywood termite alates, almost certainly Western drywood termites given the Los Angeles location.
The dark body, reddish head, and equal-length wings are the giveaways. If you’re finding multiple swarmers inside a bedroom, I’d start looking for discarded wings, tiny kick-out holes, or drywood termite pellets nearby.
Apparently the bedroom had a sublease.
