Winged Ants. Most of our calls about winged ants end up being about Carpenter Ants or Moisture Ants. Both of these ant species produce flying ants in their nests, and both types of winged ants swarm into, onto, and out of homes. If you have flying ants in the spring, April or May, you probably have Carpenter Ants.
Carpenter ants are found throughout the world, and there are many different species. The Black Carpenter Ant, Camponotus pennsylvanicus, was named by science in 1773, and was the first North American ant to be named. It occurs throughout the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Life Cycle. Winged males and female carpenter ants engage in a nuptial flight in late spring and early summer. Mating occurs in midair, after which the queen loses her wings, locates or excavates a small cavity in wood, and seals herself in the chamber, remaining alone until her first brood develops into adult workers.
