Don’t mess with those bombardier beetles gathered in groups in a world of woods. This warning’s for ants, frogs and people: THEY’RE HIDING A CANNON INSIDE THEIR CABOOSE!
This chamber of secrets? A chemistry lab, cooking up bombs in their abdomen. Steaming-hot acid, fired out in zaps. Toxic and boiling, again and again.
They’ll twist round their torsos well enough to aim at whatever caused them to huff. But their tail-end skin must be really tough … or their rears would be hurting when squirting that stuff! Bombadier Beetle
