This bug is truly the true

They have a special talent . hug the suicide bomb to defend themselves, but they don't die.

You probably know how fierce the natural world is. So in order to survive, animals have to equip themselves with effective self-defense weapons .

For example, tigers, leopards, lions . they have teeth, claws and speed. Elephants, rhinos . have thick skin, more health than "back" people. Some also possess the ability to disguise up to the level of master, gecko, mantis . for example.

But the beetle species below, they do not have the characteristics mentioned above. Instead, they . hug bombs in their bodies, and are ready to detonate when threatened. Those are the beetles that bombardier beetle .

Bombardier beetle - natural "terrorist" beetles.

Bombardier bugs (nomenclature: Carabidae), also known as tube "bomb" bugs in nearly all parts of the world, except for two polar regions. As mentioned above, they have the name "bomb" because of their ability to create extremely powerful chemical bombs whenever the body is in danger.

Those "bombs" will be launched through a pipe located at the tail of this bug.

It is estimated that the chemical in the bomb can produce temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius, enough to drive away most enemies. Even people are hard to touch them without protective gear.

And more importantly, bombardiers can optionally "fire" , even adjusting the viewfinder.

Bombardiers can optionally "fire".

Mechanically, the bombardier ability is quite interesting. They really "hug the bomb" in the right way, when carrying two types of chemicals: hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide , but in two separate chambers in the abdomen.

These two chemicals, even when mixed and nothing happens, because the inside contains an inhibitor. However, when needed, the bombardier will pump both of these substances into a third chamber, which contains a special enzyme and water, which neutralizes the inhibitor.

Two chemicals when true "detonators" will react extremely violently, then explode.

Two chemicals when true "detonators" will react extremely violently, then explode. This explosion can kill the enemy beetles, causing them to step back, while the "bombs" themselves are okay.

The spider is less fortunate when attacking bombardier beetles.

But why doesn't the person who hugged the bomb die?

The answer lies in evolution . In the past, bombardier bugs have caused biologists to doubt the evolutionary process, because if only two chemicals were used in the body, the bugs could kill themselves, but there was no way to survive. to this day.

If you are not careful, the bugs hold bombs that can explode.

However, the answer lies in that "detonating" enzyme . Experts say enzymes are biological materials, and they can evolve.

In the past, the bombardier explosion might not be as strong as it is now, but time has made it stronger to counteract the constantly evolving enemies. This bug's body has also evolved to endure such powerful explosions.
