Are these anthills/holes in my sideyard? I'd love to get rid of them and
stop the invasion of moles in my yard. Presumably the moles are looking for
the insects.

They look rather large. Too big for ants, too small for mammals. No dirt
piles around the holes. Too many, too close to each other, to be
openings to a nest.
My guess would be Japanese Beetles, Locusts, Cicadas, or similar. Their
nymphs buried in the ground coming to the surface before moulting into
adults. Look for discarded skins nearby.
