Termite -
Marginitermes hubbardi
Sabino Canyon, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
March 19, 2010
Size: 8 mm
Larger than our usual Subterranean Termites, maybe Dry-rot Termite? Or just large because it's a soldier?

Yes.
This is the soldier of a drywood termite, genus Marginitermes. I'll move to page or create one. Nice shot!
