In our city, in Yaroslavl, black ants appear in the summer, it seems, at the end of July,
at the beginning of August, which run on the asphalt, some
with wings. I have long wanted to know what kind of ants they are, and where they come from?
Don't know? Can you tell me the literature or links from the Net? Thank you.

At all other times of the year, you will never see such ants.
They always appear, in my opinion, at about the same time, in the summer.
You go out, then, on the street one day (this is not necessarily
somewhere in the country, although I also saw them there, but it can be in
the city center), and the asphalt is teeming with them, although I may be a little bent.
They don't look like forest ants, they have bigger bellies, and I
don't think they have big jaws. Can they be stray ants,
those that do not have an anthill, and they just move from place
to place in search of food? Although, to be honest, I just made it
up myself, about stray ants, because I'm not sure if there are any such things.
