Yup. Drywood termite. The frass will be the color of the wood in which they are feeding. The workers make a "kick hole" out of which they discard the frass. If you open up their galleries, there will be lots of pelletized frass in them. The pellets look like old time, deflated footballs.

It looks like it is probably a younger drywood termite, but the frass doesn’t look right for this identification. Anyone have any ideas on what this insect may be? Thanks in advance for your assistance!
