flying ants...different kinds of ant fly..reproductive male ants and female ants fly. The ants swarm and mate in the air. The males then die and the females go in search of a place to set up their own colonies. The loose their wings and then go underground. They lay their eggs and a new colony has begun. If they sting then they would be a variety of the fire (red) ants.

The flying ant is actually a regular ant that grows wings during the mating season. These flying ants do not actually sting. Rather, they bite and it is reportedly extremely painful.

Can an ant be the offspring of a fly Explain your answer.?

An ant is an offspring of a fly? I do not think so. Because a fly's biological structure is different from an ant's. Unless the fly is mating with an ant. It would happen but this particular ant (offspring) would have a few characteristics of the fly(a father/mum to the offspring). Like, the ant (offspring) may have wings and eyes like a fly. +++ That's a very curious question. The answer is no. Ants and flies are both insects but of totally different genus and species so neither could nor would mate.


Would a fly eat a ant?

It depends on the type of fly and the type of ant; some tiny but very important species of flies in the family Phoridae actually are parasites of leafcutter ants (Atta). The flies fly over columns of ants that go out to cut leaves; they dip down suddenly and lay one egg on each of the largest kinds of workers they can find. The egg hatches out into an ant larva (grub) and eats the brain of the ant from inside. The ants are terrified of the tiny flies and they have tiny workers that ride on the big workers to try and keep off the flies.
