Notes:

Não tenho ideia de que formiga é esta, a única certeza que tenho é que trata-se de um macho reprodutor de formiga. Foi achada no Brasil, Ceará, Fortaleza, no 16º andar de um prédio durante a noite. Elas fazem revoadas quando chove, que foi precisamente a situação de ambos os registros. Ambas as fotos são da mesma espécie. Tudo o que sei é que são membros da ordem Hymenoptera, subordem Apocrita, infraordem Aculeata, superfamília Formicoidea (ou Vespoidea, como algumas entidades preferem chamá-las) e família Formicidae. Maiores informações serão apreciadas E creditadas.<br><br>ENGLISH VERSION HERE:<br><br>No clue what kind of ant this is, all I know for sure is that it is a male reproductive ant. Found in Brazil, Ceará, Fortaleza, 16th of floor of a flat during nocturnal hours. They flock up when it rains, which was precisely the case with both pictures. Both pictures are of the same species. All I know is that it is a member of the order Hymenoptera, suborder Apocrita, infraorder Aculeata, superfamily Formicoidea (or Vespoidea, as some entities prefer to call them) and family Formicidae.
