Harvest men
Poisonous with a stinger on the tail, some of the first land animals, red or brown colored, stings are similar to a hornet (some are far more dangerous in other parts of the world).

Ticks

Insecta
Egg, larvae, Pupa, full adult insect.

Egg, Nymph, and eventually become adults.

One fertile female in the entire colony (bees are a good example), males are haploid, females are diploid (sterile). Termites are another example of this. Ant colonies, some keep domesticates to help the colony survive, some keep pets (beetles), some ant colonies in south America grow their own fungus under ground that they feed off of. Army ants kill pretty much anything that can’t get away from them, many build a home out of themselves.
