Chemical Defense of an Ozaenine Bombardier Beetle From New Guinea [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1989 We had occasion recently to study 3 live specimens of Pseudozaena orientalis opaca, an ozaenine carabid beetle (subfamily Paussinae, tribe Ozaenini) from New Guinea, and report here on the biology and chemistry of its defensive spray mechanism.

A Bombardier Beetle Pheropsophus aequinoctialis (L.) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Carabidae)
EDIS, 2021 Pheropsophus aequinoctialis (L.) is a ground beetle in the tribe, Brachinini, native to parts of South and Central America. Ground beetles of this tribe are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles due to their ability to produce a powerful and hot ...

Dermatitis after contact with Pheropsophus sp (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Brachininae) in the Pará State, Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical: Dermatitis caused by bombardier beetles is rarely reported. Here, we report a case of beetle-caused dermatitis that occurred in Pará State, the Brazilian Amazon.

A novel spray system inspired by the bombardier beetle [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008 In this paper we describe an experimental rig which has been built as a result of inspiration from the bombardier beetle. This beetle is such that it has the capacity to fire a spray of hot water, steam and noxious chemicals from a nozzle at the rear end of its abdomen in any direction it wishes (even over its head). An example of controlled combustion

Successful escape of bombardier beetles from predator digestive systems. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2018 Some prey animals can escape from the digestive systems of predators after being swallowed. To clarify the ecological factors that determine the success of such an escape, we investigated how the bombardier beetle Pheropsophus jessoensis escapes from two toad species, Bufo japonicus and

A biomimetic study of the explosive discharge of the bombardier beetle [PDF]
International Journal of Design and Nature, 2007 A biomimetic study of the bombardier beetle’s explosive discharge apparatus was undertaken using numerical (CFD) modelling, first, of the beetle’s combustion chamber, and then of a scaled-up combustion chamber with a view to its application to devices such as gas turbine relighters.

The Extraordinary Design of the Bombardier Beetle: A Classic Example of Biomimetics [PDF]
The Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism, 2018 The innocuous looking bombardier beetle is one of the most remarkable creatures in the insect world. This tiny insect (1-1.5 cms long) is able to fight off any spider, frog, ant or bird that comes too close, by blasting the attacker with a powerful jet ...

Advances in modelling of biomimetic fluid flow at different scales. [PDF]
Nanoscale Res Lett, 2011 The biomimetic flow at different scales has been discussed at length. The need of looking into the biological surfaces and morphologies and both geometrical and physical similarities to imitate the technological products and processes has been emphasized.
