I love the rainbow sheen on the wings in the first photo. And just look at those cute little wings on the orange and black nymphs! They certainly have a boxelder vibe to them.
Winged ants, good catch.
The mask pattern on the third picture is exquisite.
The masked pattern is adult mode -- they’re really neat creatures to see running around. I forget the local name, but I know they have some connection to cemeteries, mostly due to the fact that they like decomposing biological matter to feed on. Plus they look like little walking deathmasks in bright colours, I love them.
The ants were swarming all on the same day, that was amazing to see -- right in front of the door to the backyard, too! The good thing is most of them fly away, leaving us with only the original ant problem under the patio. :D
Wait…
…are any of these ants found in sewers?

I really couldn’t say, I haven’t been down to check! :)
