Powell Butte - Incredible Animals - Bombardier Beetle
Designer: The Cheetah You Can't Beatah
Status: Alive and well.
Last reported: 06/06/05.
Hitchhiker friendly? Yes.
Child friendly? Yes.
Wheelchair friendly? No.
Time: 10 minutes from startpoint.
12/2/05 If you are saying to yourself "I thought Grow in Grace placed this box" -- you are right. They have moved, so I've adopted their 4 boxes for them, but all credit goes to them for carving and placement. Would love to hear all comments on box condition -- Double Tree.
Bombardier beetles are remarkable creatures. They earned their name from their ability to defend themselves against predators by firing a mixture of boiling-hot toxic chemicals from special glands in their posterior. For our purposes, they are at home among the roots of the trees, with branches and bark for their covering.
