User's notes
The one with the wings was moving around rapidly, met briefly with the wingless one. I couldn't catch any specific behaviours. The colour patterns seem to suggest the same species but having one with, and the other without, wings seems odd.

In this family (Mutillidae) the males are always winged and the females wingless. This pair is almost certainly of the same species.
