a flight of sexually mature social insects (as bees) in which mating takes place and which is usually a prelude to the forming of a new colony especially : the mass flight and mating of winged sexual forms of ants after leaving the parent nest.

Each year, normally in July or August, huge numbers of flying ants suddenly appear. ... This 'nuptial flight' is why ants fly. Ants mate during flight, so males and young queens both have wings. If you look carefully at flying ants you will see some are much larger; these are the queens.

The nuptial flight is the mating flight of some insects, most notably social bees and ants. Winged sexuals are produced within the colony. ... The newly mated female then attempts to start a new colony by finding (or creating) a safe place to lay eggs. These eggs become the first workers in the colony.
