@freejatochi: Bombardier beetles are ground beetles known for their defense mechanism of spraying a boiling, irritating chemical at predators. They can fire the spray up to 20 times with an audible pop. Defense mechanism: When threatened, the beetle mixes two chemicals in a chamber in its abdomen, creating the irritant benzoquinone and intense heat. The heat generates pressure to expel the liquid in a pulsating jet from a turret-like appendage under the abdomen. 😭🫸🏿 #freejatochi #fypシ #voiceovers #insects #bombardierbeetle #nola
