对亚马逊蚂蚁的奴隶袭击，寄主群体的蚁后被寄生的雌性bothriomyrmexex砍头，或者寄主群体的蚁后被寄生的雌性epimyrmma穿透了aleptothoraxest，这是在群居寄生蚂蚁中观察到的最有趣的行为之一。然而，这些行为的进化起源是相当模糊的，需要进一步的工作来阐明寄生生命周期是如何从蚂蚁的普通社会组织中产生的。
Slave raids of Amazon ants, the beheading of the host colony's queen by a parasiticBothriomyrmexfemale, or the protracted throttling of the host queen by anEpimyrmafemale which has penetrated aLeptothoraxnest, are among the most intriguing behaviors to be observed in social parasitic ants. The evolutionary origin of these behaviors, however, is quite obscure, and further work is needed to elucidate how parasitic life cycles could have arisen from the ordinary social organization of ants.
