The "big bang beetle 
  
  The bombardier beetle can explode the myth of evolution  
 
  1961 was the German chemist,   Professor Dr. Hermann Schildknecht,   a study of the Bombardier Beetle   before (scientific name:   Brachinus; comes about 1 inch long beetles   also available in Europe). 
 
   He found that the Bombardier beetle   has two glands, which produce a liquid   mixture, two each   attached storage chambers,   two combustion chambers and two   outward channels, as in the   steerable cannons in the rear of a   Bombers are focused on one goal   can. In the analysis one has   found that the stored   liquid 10% hydroquinone and 23%   percent contained hydrogen peroxide. 
 
   If you or I went into the laboratory   and together mixed these two chemicals   would then the two   chemicals slowly react   (hydrogen peroxide the hydroquinone   would slowly oxidize to quinone)  
  and would create a brownish "soup"  . But the Bombardier Beetle   adds an inhibitor (inhibitor)   that prevents this chemical reaction and the mixture   remains as clear as water  . And if he then   a Enemy approaching, he squeezed this solution   in the double combustion channels   and - at just the right moment   - he mixes with an activator (the two   enzymes catalase and peroxidase)  , and: Peng! It comes directly from   his enemy in an explosion and   injected 100 ° C hot, smarting gas   from his backside ...
