You have to know one thing. All "winged ants" are either male or female. There are no winged workers. Only males and females fly away where they mate. Males die in a few days, queens start a new colony after sucessful nuptial flight. If there is only one colony it is very unlikely that the queens will find apropriate mate. However it is possible that they interbreed with local speies or in some cases incest (pharroh ant). So you shouldn't consider letting go an exotic species into foregin environment.
