Hi @Frecko, there are only two local species of mound building termites and they are easily identified. However there would be at least 20 other termite species, of which this is one, I presume. Some can be identified to genus level from a good photo of one or more soldiers. With so many termites in view, some of them are likely to be soldiers, but I can barely guess which ones.
