A video of a bombardier beetle using its unique defenses to shoot explosive and corrosive chemical jets to protect itself and ward off attackers has gone viral on social media worldwide this week.





They are able to shoot a self-heating mixture of chemicals from glands in the back of their abdomen with more or less precision. The temperature of the mixture at the moment of shooting reaches 100 °C, and its release is accompanied by a loud sound.
