ABSTRACT
Pheropsophus jessoensis, bombardier beetle, when physically assaulted, produces diverse toxicants, often at high concentrations, including acids, aldehydes, phenols, and quinones. They can eject these fluids forcibly, in the form of sprays, at 100degrees C. In this way, it induces a chemical burn to their enemies, including humans. We experienced a man who got a chemical burn by a biological pulse jet from Pheropsophus jessoensis, which has not been reported in the Korean literature.
