That appears to be a termite. Swarmers lose their wings after swarming. There should be clear, equal sized wings wherever he's seeing those at. Swarmers are reproductive and are black or brownish black in color, depending on species. If it's a Formosan, the wings will not be clear, like the Eastern subterrainian termites.


eta- swarm season is getting in full swing now as well. And seeing swarmers is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean there are workers doing damage yet, necessarily. But it does give you an indication that you have an area that needs addressing to prevent forthcoming damage.
