For most prey, ( 14 ) is over once they've been swallowed. But
one species of beetle can escape from a toad's stomach nearly two
hours after being eaten, according to a new study.
Found in wooded areas on nearly every continent, bombardier beetles
- a group that consists of more than 500 species - get their name
from their signature defense mechanism: When threatened, they
shoot a hot chemical spray from their rear end. In Japan, the insects
have long been known as "the farting bug."
Toads have been observed vomiting bombardier beetles after eating
them, but no one knew exactly why, or ( 15 ) the beetles survived
after their brush with digestion.
あわや?
bine
To better understand the beetle's defenses, two biologists from Kobe
University fed a species of bombardier beetle to two different species
of toad collected from forests in central Japan. One toad species
shared its natural habitat with that particular species of beetle, while
the other was unlikely to encounter it in the wild.
(16)
After the beetles were swallowed, a small explosion could be heard
inside each toad, indicating that the insects were firing their defenses.
Overall, 43 percent of the toads vomited the beetles, taking anywhere

from 12 to 107 minutes.
Most important (at least to the insects): Despite being covered in
mucus, meaning they had entered the toads' digestive system, every
evicted beetle was still alive, and all but one survived for another
two weeks. No toads died on account of eating the beetles.
"It surprised us that the beetles vomited by toads were still alive and
active," said Shinji Sugiura, an author of the study, which was
published Tuesday in the journal Biology Letters.

But some toads were better able to digest the beetles than others.
Only 35 percent of the toads that shared habitat with the beetles
coughed them up, compared to 57 percent of the toads with no
common habitat.
The findings suggest that regular exposure to
bombardier beetles has allowed some toads to ( 17 ) a tolerance to
their poison.
Size mattered, too. Large beetles escaped more frequently than small
beetles, and small toads were more likely to vomit beetles than large
toads. The reason, presumably, is that large beetles are able to
produce more poison, and smaller toads are less able to tolerate it,
said Dr. Sugiura.
To be sure that the beetles were using their spray to escape, the
researchers also fed the toads beetles that ( 18 ) to expel their
poison just before being consumed. Nearly all of those beetles were
_successfully digested.
