https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/465603499/Social parasitism occurs when an invading reproductive uses the workers of a nest she did not construct to rear her reproductive offspring. A range of degrees of integration of social parasites into their host colonies can be observed in a diversity of insect lineages. Good examples occur in yellowjacket wasps (Vespinae), European Polistes paper wasps, bumble bees and their Psythris parasites, and ants. In the simplest cases, queens attack conspecific colonies and kill the resident reproductive, taking over the worker force. Simple heterospecific parasitism is similar to conspecific takeovers, in that the invading queen kills the resident queen. Often, females of socially parasitic species exhibit adaptations to improve their chances of winning queen vs. queen combat, such as enlarged heads and mandibles. Parasitic species are often incapable of producing workers of their own, so the colony switches to producing new parasite reproductives after a takeover.
