they look like large black ants, but they have wings and they can fly, but they usually seem to walk. when they fly they fly a short distance and they dont make very much noise.
i thought it was a large black ant untill i saw a small pair of clearish wings. i thought the wings were just for show untill it flew a ways.. and started to walk around again..
they have antennas like an ant too... they creep me out. i dont like bugs. the end of their body is kinda pointed, but i dunno if it stings..
what the hell are these things? and where did they come from?

Not sure, could be a termite or maybe an Organ Pipe dirt dauber. Here's a picture of an Organ Pipe dirt dauber. report abuse

There is such a thing as a flying ant. We have a wood-burning stove for heat in the winter and my husband has made me vigilant about watching for certain bugs in the house coming in off the wood. I remember the flying ants as being one he really didn't want in the house. (sorry, I don't remember why) Here's an article on comparing flying ants to termites http://www.pestproducts.com/flyingants.h... report abuse

I would guess one of the many types of parasitic wasps...wasps are cousins to ants and many can really look more ant than wasp. Hard to say where they may of come from...some species may be feeding on a caterpillar...others may of emerged from fire wood after feeding on wood boring beetle larvae report abuse
