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.
