00:00The phoracantha beetle discharges a pressurized, volatile solvent
00:04that rapidly breaks down attacking insect exoskeletons.
00:08How does a tiny beetle generate internal pressure
00:11to spray a volatile chemical defense at rivals?
00:14Instead of a slow ooze,
00:16it unleashes a violently pressurized jet of volatile solvents.
00:21Specialized glands mix defensive compounds in a pressurized reservoir
00:25before discharging them through targeted nozzles.
00:28This lethal biological artillery proves that the phoracantha beetle
00:33discharges a pressurized chemical defense.
