What youur looking at is called a velvet ant(or mutilid). There in the oreder Mutilidae and surprisingly they are not actually ants, there actually wasps, the males have wings and fly but dont have stingers, the females are wing-less and dont sting. the males are more rare than females. Velvet ants usually live in sandy dry areas with patches of grass and make their nests under ground.
If it has a black stripe down the bottom of it then it is a Red Velvet Ant which isn't really an ant it is a wingless wasp.
The pheromone of a red ant specie would affect the behavior of a black ant colony. The black ant colony would sense an enemy, and search for the intruder.
Red velvet ant also known as cow killer. It's not an ant but a wingless female wasp.
It depends on the kind of ant. If it's a reagular ant it would be small. If it's a red ant it would be big.
