Worker termites are pretty standard looking throughout most termite castes. When you compare most pictures of termite workers they will all apear very very similar for that reason.
Termite workers are thin skinned and need to be in contact with damp soil. They tend to look semi-translucent in color, which gives them a whitish appearance.
