    Technically the bombardier beetle does not bite nor sting. Instead it reacts hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone and shoots it out, which when reacted together pretty much instantly reaches 212°f and chemically burns whatever they are shooting at. They can shoot over 500 shots per minute at a given target. Pretty crazy lads
