Insect and Spider Identification: Is this a termite? And why are they coming from my drains?, 1 by 60Six

So first some background info:
I live just outside San Francisco in a really old apartment. A few months ago (Jan-Feb), I found a couple of termites in my bathroom sink. At the time, I thought they were just strange, long winged gnats so I just killed them and went on with my day. Fast forward to that night, it started to pour rain. I went into my bathroom and found just a pile of dead termites on my bathroom floor (at least 20-30 of them) at the base of my sink.
I wish I got pictures back then, but at the time I didn\'t realize they were termites until I googled \"long winged gnat\" and found the disturbing truth of what they were... (It was a disgusting combo of winged ones and soldiers)
The nightmare didn\'t end that day though. The next morning, I went to wash up, and much to my horror, the bodies of dozens of dead termites gurgled up from my sink drain.

Now unfortunately, my landlord won\'t do anything about this until I have photo proof that there are termites in this place. But I haven\'t seen them since that night, until possibly today?

I went to take a shower just now and found this guy hanging out by the drain of my bathtub. Is this guy a soldier termite? I think he is, but I\'m not positive. I also only found 1 (so far...).

That leads to my second question though- What are they doing in my drains?! Aren\'t they suppose to be eating my walls?? What are they doing in my metal pipes?! I\'m so grossed out right now, I hope this is a termite just so I can get my landlord to finally do something.
