DEFENSIVE ACTION

• The bombardier beetle discharges a toxic vapor when threatened, propelling the noxious fumes amazing distances through a miniature explosion. The propellant is actually two highly explosive fuels that the beetle manufactures in two separate glands— hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide. The explosion takes place in a hardcoated rocket chamber, propelling the chemical outward. A bombardier beetle can reload and fire up to a dozen times in a row when under attack, taking deadly aim through a flexible and very precise turret. • One kind of beetle not only looks just like a wasp but also flies like a wasp, imitating the flight pattern. When captured, the harmless beetle will even mimic stinging its captor. • The gold-necked carrion beetle, when under attack, flops over on its back while beating its wings, which produces a noise just like a bumblebee, scaring off predators. • Many kinds of plants have evolved toxins that circulate in their sap to repel insects. However, there are some beetles that not only eat the poisoned sap with relish, but then secrete the toxins through their exoskeletons, making themselves taste bad. • The aptly-named blister beetle exudes a caustic substance that does indeed cause blisters. One type of blister beetle is ground up and sold as a reputed aphrodisiac called Spanish Fly. When swallowed, it irritates the lining of the urinary tract. When rubbed on the skin, it causes itching and burning. • Some beetles have evolved a natural camouflage and look exactly like tree bark, lichens, or bird poop. One Mexican species looks exactly like a lizard dropping. Several kinds of beetles have brightly colored spots on their wings that look exactly like large eyeballs, startling potential predators.
