Ants are a social/hive/colony insect. The colony has one female queen (which will be very large) and one male ant (which may have died after fertilizing the queen). All the rest of the ants in the colony are sterile workers (no mater how big they are or what they look like).
About once a year the queen will lay fertile eggs and these will grow to become immature males and females. These immature ants will normally have wings and will leave the nest to mate and start new colonies. The females are normally bigger than the males because they need the fat reserves to start rearing a new brood.

∙ 10y agoAny time you see an ant without wings, whether it is a soldier or a worker or a queen, it is a female. If it does have wings it could be a female too, but it also could be a male. After her one flight, sometimes only after mating and settling down, the female (the queen, that is) loses her wings, but the male isn't much of a king; he dies after mating and he is the only male ant you will see.
