Lasius sp.
A ton of these small winged ant looking insects. About 1cm in length, each. A mound of them here -at least 100 of them!
The larger ones are winged ("alate") queens, the smaller ones males. They are swarming. Colonies in any given area swarm at the same time to decrease the chances of inbreeding.
