another animal worthy of the dubious distinction: Amazon ants . . . they capture slaves from other ant colonies in massive raids to do all their child-rearing and housework for them.

thanks for the suggestion. I think I shall list it under the more colourful "Legionnaire ant" which Wiki says is another name.

Yes, legionnaire ant definitely sounds more poetically bellicose . . . I love this list, btw.
