Subterranean Termite
by: Moni

Tom
Unfortunately, your insect is probably a termite. How much wood do you have on your boat?

Subterranean termites work in the dark so that may be why you are seeing them at night...perhaps that is just a flying adult looking for a new home and you do not have an infestation ...perhaps the dock or nearby does have a problem.

If this is your critter, it is a pest and you will want to make sure you do not have any on your boat, as for that you will need professional help to get rid of them. You could take a sample to your local county extension office for verification or call a quality qualified pest control company for verification and an inspection of your boat.

Here are photos on bugguide http://bugguide.net/node/view/71257/bgimage

Hope they are on the dock!!
