I see a lot of support for the insect ants. Ants aren’t workers, ants aren’t proletariats, ants are an army of monarchists. They are the brits of insects They invade other ant colonies (hexbear.net)

They war with other colonies, they drive out several termite species rendering them extinct- along with other ground dwelling insects. They are also racist.

Actually the view of ants and bees as having monarchy is purely human projection. The Queen of an any colony is not it's ruler, the workers are. Queens are basically dragged around, force fed and treated more like an object than a part of the colony. If they step out of line they are stung to death and replaced.
