This depends on the type of ant and location.
In general, there is one day in the year when the colony of ants release winged Queens and males and they mate. The wings drop off and the males die.
(The Queen stores the sperm and uses it for the rest of her life to fertilize each egg she lays.)
In England this day is usually a very hot day in the summer (July/ August) and winged ants appear simultaneously from many nests. Sometimes there are two days when it happens.

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.
Flying black ants are male ants or newly queen ants. when male ants and newly queened ants mate, the queen will rip of her wings so the workers, who are all female, will be able to reconise them. male ants however males keep there wings

Bullet ants will mate as many times in a short period as it takes to fill their colony. Sometimes they only need to mate once per season the get the number of ants they want.
Male ants only have one job and that is to mate with the queen ant. After they mate, the male ant dies. All of the worker ants are female.
No, ants and stick insects cannot mate with each other and produce offspring as they are two completely different species of insect.
