    It looks to me like a flying ant.  They emerge all at once, once a year, and in a couple of days they shed their wings and die.  They won't harm you or your plants.

    Or maybe one of the picture wing flies. We'd need a clearer pic to tell much more sorry.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
