Termite - Reticulitermes

Termite - Reticulitermes
In Westwood - elevation 5100ft, Lassen County, California, USA
May 16, 2008
Any hope of further ID placement? Thanks!

I believe that neither the current taxonomy of Reticulitermes nor the distributional data are solid enough to reliably determine the species within this genus without a microscope, with a few exceptions. Even with a microscope it can be a bit of a guessing game!

Moved from Isoptera (Termites).
