Effect of bombardier beetle spray on a wolf spider: repellency and leg autotomy

CHEMOECOLOGY, 2006
Data 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 ...

The protective role of the spray mechanism of the bombardier beetle, Brachynus ballistarius Lec.

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1958
Abstract Bombardier beetles, Brachynus ballistarius Lec., subjected to controlled traumatic stimuli or to predator attacks, always responded instantly by ejecting a spray from the tips of their abdomens. The spray was not directed at random, but through rotation of the end of the abdomen was always aimed accurately toward the particular appendage or ...
