65. Born as slaves

Formica sanguinea, the British Red Ants finds additional slave workers by raiding the nests of

Negro ants Formica fusca. They kill any worker ants that resit and oppose. Then the blood red ants carry

off all their dormant pupae (ants which are growing from larvae stage to adult stage inside cocoons)

to their own nests. There the newly born Negro ants become the slaves of the red ants.

The blood red ants have their own group of worker ants and these will be their extra slaves.

The European Amazon ants are totally dependent on the Negro ant slaves which work hard to excavate the

Amazon ants’ nests and to take care of their young ones.

Certainly Slavery is not confined to just human beings. Might is Right.

The mighty animals, birds and insects continue to reap the benefit of free labor from their slaves!
