The study of "chemical ecology" he pioneered describes the many ways that plants & animals interact through chemical means: pheromones, defensive sprays, chemical camouflage.
Let's talk about the bombardier beetle's "acid" spray.
First, there are 500 species of these beetles in family Carabidae.

Testing the limits of the 25-year-old automontage system at work. Pretty good! This beetle is around 2 mm long.

Been sorting the beetle backlog, lots of fun gems. These two pair well, dull teneb with a shiny carabid chaser.

I absolutely love Carabidae (ground beetles) and have never seen a suit of one so I really wanted to have a go. The base is actually a heavily modified dino mask and I used EVA foam to change the headshape.

Im letzten Jahr habe ich leider so gut wie keine Carabus-Arten gesehen. Ich werte das mal als ganz schlechtes Zeichen...
Hier ein Goldlaufkäfer (Carabus auratus) aus besseren Zeiten.

Woodland ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Poecilus chalcites), like most other ground beetles, are predators of other insects. This particular species preys on a number of crop pests, and they're fairly common in agricultural areas of the midwest. Blissfield Michigan, 01 Apr 2012.

Carabidae beetles: Coleoptera, Adephaga, Caraboidea. 40k+ species, predatory or omnivorous, soil dwellers. Subfamilies Carabinae (bombardier beetles, spray hot chemicals), Harpalinae (often seed-eaters), Cicindelinae (“tiger” beetles). Important for natural and agricultural pest control. Science🧪

Six-spotted tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindela sexguttata) are easy to spot thanks to their metallic green coloration. They're one of the most common tiger beetles in the eastern United States. Congaree National Park, South Carolina, 04 Jun 2013.

I would say that is definitely a beetle larva, probably a rove beetle (Staphylinidae), or maybe a ground beetle (Carabidae). Great photo!

I really like mining bees (genus Andrena) especially the tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva. :)
I also love beetles, especially ground beetles (Carabidae) and clown beetles (Histeridae), flies and wasps aswell. I see plenty of hover flies and bee flies where I am in spring so I can't wait for that.
