There are also several eusocial species of gall-forming aphids and thrips.  They produce a specialized sterile soldier caste for defense of the gall.

 

Also, many cockroach species show complex social behavior, although none (apart from termites, which are now considered Blattodea) are actually eusocial.

social species of shrimp exist with rigid social structures. most of these small colonies live in sponges which serve as both lodging and food.
