#bombardier beetle
Day 26: blood feeding
Deer ticks plague the deers that live in our neighborhood and myself every time I wander through tall grass…
Day 27: Chemical Defense
The Bombardier Beetle shoots a spray of hot chemicals from the end of their abdomen to scare off and scald potential predators! I was fortunate enough to get to see this happen in real life when I came across one on a walk!
Day 28: Jump
The jumpy little springtails in my reptiles soil help me out with keeping it clean! To that I say thanks!
Prompts from @saturniidays insectober list!
there are a lot of things called “bombardier beetle” so I tried to pick some with different body shapes
