Flying Ant

- They feature pinched waists, elbowed antennae, and front wings longer than their back wings, separating them from destructive subterranean termites
- The large, sudden clouds of flying insects in Southern Arizona are most likely flying ants participating in their seasonal "nuptial flights"
- Often called "wedding flights", these massive synchronized emergences are completely natural and are heavily triggered by the summer monsoon rains and high humidity
