Ectatosticta saida (winged swarm-founding wasp) is the scientific name for Flying ants. However, there are thousands of these little flying insects that aren’t ants. Some people incorrectly call all winged flying insects flies. Only those belonging to the order Diptera are called true flies (and are not ants, wasps, bees or other insects). Insects are amazing little creatures, not only for their fascinating life cycles and complex social structures, but for the amazing abilities that some of them possess. One insect with an interesting quirk is the flying ant, or the winged ant. These insects are capable of dispersing via flight. Flying ants are a real problem, especially in summer. Grown men running around with a can of fly spray aren’t as funny as you may think and often people use sprays like Fox or Raid to repel flying ants that come into their homes. But there’s another way. A safer, more humane and a much cheaper way of getting rid of them – and you don’t need to buy any expensive sprays.

Flying ants, also known as winged ants or swarmers, are wingless ants that have just emerged from their pupae and are beginning to fly. Flying ants can be seen in the summertime, when colonies of ants swarm to mate.
The flight of winged ants is called a nuptial flight and these insects are often mistaken for bees or wasps, but the truth is that they are not stinging insects and will not harm humans.
Flying ants can be found all over the world except for Antarctica and Greenland. They are usually black or brown in color with red eyes and red legs. Their wingspan can vary from 0.75 inches to 1 inch long.
This species of ant is also known as a carpenter ant because it can damage wood structures by chewing on them; if you see flying ants in your home, it’s important to contact a pest control company immediately!
Flying Ants are winged ants that can fly. These insects are often confused with termites and bees, but they are actually ants. Flying Ants have a pair of membranous wings that allow them to fly from place to place. These insects are social creatures, meaning that they live in large communities called colonies.
The common flying ant (Paraponera clavata) is native to South America and has been introduced into many other parts of the world. They are black or brown in color and about 1/4 inch long. They have large jaws that are used for capturing prey and chewing it up into small pieces so that it can be swallowed.
Flying Ants live together in large colonies which can contain hundreds of thousands or even millions of ants! Each colony has a queen who lays eggs and mates with male ants called drones.. The drones die after mating with the queen, while other members of the colony help care for their young and protect them from predators like spiders or birds who might eat them if they were not protected by their parents..
