Microscopic Chaos: The Action Movie of Insects

Bombardier beetles explode boiling acid from their butts with the force of a tiny rocket

launcher. This built-in flamethrower reaches temperatures of two hundred twelve degrees Fahrenheit.

Dragonflies catch their prey mid-air with a ninety-five percent success rate. They are deadlier

hunters than even the mightiest lions or sharks. Ants survive microwaves by dodging radiation

waves like tiny parkour experts. Caterpillars completely liquify into goo inside cocoons before reassembling

into butterflies. The mantis shrimp's punch boils the water and creates literal light from

the impact. These insects live in an action movie while we walk around oblivious

to the chaos.
