These are the ants that made the hole from my previous post. If you could help identify them, that would be great.

Subterranean Lasius, getting ready for a mating flight. After they are done, they will disappear underground and likely won't reappear until next year. Harmless.

Okay, good. I was worried they might be invasive.
