Bombardier beetle based biosensor
Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 1996A biosensor constructed by combining an oxygen electrode with the liquid ejected by bombardier beetles (Pheropsophus aequinoctialis) immobolized on a collagen membrane is developed for hydrogen peroxide. The sensor presents a linear range of 2.0 x 10(-4)-2.0 x 10(-3) M and a reproductibility of approximately 2%.

Effect of bombardier beetle spray on a wolf spider: repellency and leg autotomy
Chemoecology, 2006Data are presented on the repellency of the spray of a bombardier beetle (Pheropsophus aequinoctialis) to a lycosid spider (Lycosa ceratiola). The secretion is shown to cause the spider to desist from its assault on the beetle within, on average, 58 ms of onset of the beetle’s secretory emission, a reaction time that is at a par with latencies ...
