As mentioned in my comment below, I collected this nymph at the same site I documented a cave cockroach in July 2021. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/81462214

I had been meaning to come back since then but finally got around to it to check for more. I collected this one and have it alive right now at home. There were plenty of surinam cockroaches around it but this one looked different and my photos appear to match the one I documented in 2021 and other photos online.

Tiny termites? Most of them are around 2-3 mm, some big ones are about 5 mm.

3rd and 5th pictures are closeup.

I found several large colonies on the bank of San Gabriel river, near Tejas camp. The weather is warm today, about 68 F when I found them.

I've never seen such strange looking termites before, very unusual.
