That pronotum is way too large to be Zootermopsis. The mandibles don't look to be parallel to the head either.
Yea, those soldiers have much more bulk in them then the soldiers in my drywood termites. Venydayn can you take more picture of your soldier because I want to take picture of my soldiers also and compare them together.

yeah, I think they are different from my colony. Your soldiers have sorter abdomen while mine are longer abdomen, also your soldiers the back legs have thickness or mass and are longer while my soldiers are sort and a little thick. I think you have something unique and very cool termites. Here are some of my soldiers picture but I'll try take better picture of mine in the daytime and compare them more later with better day light.

I'm thinking they probably are Incisitermes arizonensis. What really standout was there leg thickness on the first picture post of your soldiers. They match the soldier type. If we can find more picture we can confirm it more with the upward curve jaws we show on your other post.

Boy, these sure are an enigma. They look so much like Incisitermes, but their need for hydration is baffling. They remind me a bit of a termite I'd seen some footage of, I think it was called Margerinitermes or something. I think they are dampwoods - if I can find the footage again, I'll be sure to send it.

That's really odd - as far as I was aware, only some Kalotermids had "sticky feet". I suppose a barier would work, but I'd be careful about what I use - because they're so delicate, I'm sure that some barriers could really bother your termite's epidermis.
