Rhinotermitidae? - Reticulitermes

Rhinotermitidae? - Reticulitermes
Running Springs, San Bernardino County, California, USA
May 15, 2020
Emerging from a small log buried in soil in the southern San Bernardino Mountains, at about 5400 feet of elevation

Hundreds of these emerge from a small hole in the log, at the edge of the soil (a few cm below the insect in the photo). Most of them took flight quickly, and their wings caught the late-afternoon sun.

Another photo
I have a photo of another individual from this emergence that shows the color and shape of the body. Would it be worth including? If so, with these photos or separately?
