Ants own slaves

There are ants known as “slave makers,” whose jaws are large and created for fighting, not feeding. 

As such, they cannot feed themselves. 

These ants will invade a different colony of regular ants, kidnap newborn ants from the queen, and raise them to be their servants.

These are insects that can barely see, who depend mostly on scent for communication, but they’re intelligent enough to get someone else to feed them while they lounge around.
