The slave-raiding behavior of H. americanus and L. duloticus is compared. In both species, raids follow scouting by individuals or small groups of slave-makers. Single scouts return to their nest to lead a raiding party. Groups attack host-species nests at once, with or without recruiting additional raiders. Raiders usually guard the entrance to the raided nest, preventing workers from escaping with the brood. L. duloticus raiders kill most adults in raided nests, but H. americanus raiders kill very few such individuals. H. americanus raiders always and L. duloticus raiders usually transport the raided colony''s brood back to their own nest. L. duloticus colonies sometimes emigrate into raided nests.
