The Farting Beetle

OKay, so usually i post up creatures that look really cool, this is not the case.  This bug the bombardier beeetle is pretty boring to look at but the special thing about it is, it farts boiling hot gas and liquid on it enemies to get them away.  I randomly found this last week and I think its really rad. 

It can even aim its ass at its target. You can learn how it creates the deterent from the video below.

For some reason half of the videos on youtube about it ( including the one above ) are made by creationists trying to prove that this bug is proof that there is no such thing as evolution? I just like the fact that it actually makes a loose fart sound when it does it's thing.  Cheers Bug!!!
