I again managed to find a very interesting insect in my house, visually this insect has a very unique color, namely yellow and black, its shape is also very unique and looks similar to other beetles. but the uniqueness of this beetle is found in its way of survival, in my area this beetle is often called the bombardier beetle, the reason is that this beetle can spray a hot, corrosive chemical liquid from the tip of its abdomen as self-defense, and when the liquid touches our body it will cause a hot and stinging sensation, so even though this beetle has an interesting shape, we still shouldn't play with it, because this is a very dangerous insect,when I found this beetle I immediately took the initiative to immediately remove it, but this was an opportunity for me, so before removing it I also took the time to photograph it first.

When photographing this insect, I did so very carefully, because I knew this insect would release this fluid when it felt threatened.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some images of this bombardier beetle here.
