Moved from Pacific coast dampwood termite.

Whoops! My apologies, I jumped the gun on that one. Z. nevadensis does have a range listed from BC to CA, and I confess that I'm not certain how to distinguish them from Z. angusticollis.

I believe Z. angusticollis is the only likely option for WA state.

Not Lacewing....
but reproductive termites.

 
Thanks
I didn't know where to start and this has been bugging me for months. Looks like this Pacific Coast dampwood termite,Zootermopsis angusticollis, comparing these to other pictures on this site.

Thank you, thank you!

 
It is.
It is indeed Zootermopsis, and probably Z. angusticollis. Nice images, too. Welcome to Bugguide and thanks for your continued contributions!

 
Well, thanks to you and bugguide for being here
Seeing these animals and not knowing what they are can be sort of crazy-making. . .
