Cantharidin production in a blister beetle

Experientia, 1993
Cantharidin, a potent defensive chemical, is present in all ten life stages of the blister beetle Epicauta funebris. The first five larval stages accumulate cantharidin as they feed and grow in size. When disturbed, they exude cantharidin in a milky oral fluid, not in hemolymph which adult beetles reflexively discharge from leg joints.
