It wasn't until I uploaded the photos that I noticed that some of them have transparent wings.

If I had to guess, I'd say that they turn into those giant mosquito-looking crane fly things, but I'm probably wrong about that. The only other stuff in the area that I've seen that's red like that are milkweed beetles, but I doubt that's what they are either.
