AN INSECTS
DEFENCE WEAPON
Mysterious Provision of Nature in TIT
Case Of Grasshoppers and
Other Small Insects.

Everyone has been startled, OF
Selling a grasshOpper, by having the
animal throw OF a quantity OF ''tobao
co-juice" from his mouth. Many in
sects throw on quantities Of juice II
this manner when they are attacked
some from the mouth, some from the
''joints" on the abdomen, some from
special points On the head, or othe1
parts Of the body. The juice thui
elected is generally some Of the in
sect's blood, and its sudden discharge
no doubt frequently causes the
captor to loosen his hold, or to droI
the prey altogether. Especially Is
this likely in the case Of those insect
that emit an acrid or a poisonous
liquid, as for example the Spanish
fly or cantharides beetle. It is not
to be supposed that this discharge is
IN any sense a voluntary act On the
part Of the insect; It is a direct re
spouse to certain kinds Of disturbance
In this respect the action may be
compared to "death-feignlng' in in
sects and in other animals. In some
insects, in which the juice Is dis
charged from the soft parts Of the
abdominal segments, the juice is
thrown of upon suitable stimulation
even after the animals head has
been removed. This curious behavior
is not confined to any one family Of
insects. but has been observed among
several species Of the grasshoppeI
family, among ants, wasps and hOr
nets, in members Of the moth and but
terfy family, IN beetles, in true bugs
and even among certain flies. The
blood does not come to the surface
through wounds caused by the disturb
ance; the opening is produced by q
sudden increase in blood pressure, at
points that are especially thin and
yielding. The first effect Of the dis
turbance is to cause certain muscles
to contract, thus increasing the pres
sure in the blood, leading 10 the
bursting Of the special election spots
