Peter Clausen Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I think it's the males of D. granti that give off that really funky musky odor. Mabye this is common in other beetles too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arachknight Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 water Beetles can Too.... Interesting... is the smell just sent into the air or through a liquid secreted onto the attacker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
