You never know, Sligs may work like bees, with the majority of them actually being female, now there's a disturbing thought.

I'm an apiarist and they don't have the characteristics of a predominantly female eusocial species. I relate them to termites also because bees must put eggs straight into cells were they grow in very specific conditions, I expect some factors determine a queen in a mudokon society as bees do in that they feed a chosen egg a special type of food to stimulate ovaries and hormones but that is were the consistencies no doubt end.
