Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Carpenter Ants showing how effective they are at hunting and scavenging. The wings are what was left from a Carpenterworm Moth. They may have killed it or it may have died and they found the body. The beetle was still alive, unfortunately for it.

The insects that perished from our lantern the night before were cleaned up by these guys. No bodies were found in the morning. Simply amazing efficiency!
