When "baby" ants reach a certain stage of development, they develop wings and swarm from the nest. On landing they shed their wings, find a mate, and set up a new nest. Females become the new queen, but the unfortunate male lives a life of drudgery thereafter.

There are insects that look almost identical to ants that can also fly, but I believe they're classified as a type of wasp.

they are a longer version of ants that have white/clear wings. they are annoying because they just fly anywhere espicially in your face. where i live they are everywhere.
