This print showcases a side view of a meticulously crafted model of the black and yellow Bombardier Beetle. With its striking yellow legs, this miniature masterpiece offers an intricate cross section display, revealing the venom glands and reservoir within. The explosion chamber is filled with vibrant red liquid, accentuating its dangerous nature. A one-way valve adds to the intrigue surrounding this remarkable creature. Expertly captured in a studio setting, the image highlights the poisonous attributes of this unique beetle species. Its vivid coloration serves as a warning sign to potential predators, cautioning them against any ill-advised encounters.
