Please help me identify these. I was out in the driveway today and out of the blue my son and I found ourselves in a swarm of these. Need to know what these are and if they are harmful. Any info would be great, thank you.

Winged (reproductive) ant, but cannot tell which species. Such 'swarming' behavior is normal.

Thank you so much! Thanks to your identification I know what I need to do now. Find the Ant colony.

if it isn't close to your house, i would leave them alone. ants have their place in our world. if, on the other hand, they are carpenter ants invading your house, then that is a different matter.
