Probably a type of ant. They grow wings when sexually mature to search out mates and new colonies.

It looks like a flying ant. It's a little hard to see from your photos, but it appears to have a very skinny upper body with a waist. If it doesn't have this, it might be a flying termite.

I'm guessing flying ant also. But, it looks like it has pincers on its tail end!! Blinking
