Thats right.And the same ritual is also used among some insects

A "Godmother ant" who uses "Mob" tactics to rub out rivals has been discovered by scientists.

Dr Thibaud Monnin at the University of Sheffield and colleagues at the University of Keele were surprised to find that dinoponera quadriceps ants, known as dinosaur ants, and the Mafia have something in common.

Both have dominant leaders who give rivals a "kiss of death" as a signal for their "Mob" to punish the offender, they report today in the journal Nature.

If the mother ant - alpha female - has her position threatened by another female (usually the next highest ranking ant, known as the beta female) she will wipe her sting against the pretender, leaving behind a distinctive chemical mixture.

This often acts as a signal to lower ranking ants in the colony to punish the "pretender" and secure the alpha female's position as the only breeding female.Prof Francis Ratnieks, one of the authors, added: "Ants have similarities to humans in that both police their societies in order to prevent undesirable behaviour."
