Scientists at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, who photographed the beetle in action note: “Although it was known that bombardier beetles can aim their spray by revolving the abdominal tip, the degree of precision with which they target their ejections had escaped notice. ”
New Yorgi Ithaca Cornelli ülikooli teadlased, kes pildistasid paugujooksikut sellise tegevuse ajal, märgivad: „Kuigi see oli juba enne teada, et paugujooksikud pritsivad vedelikku tagakeha tippu pöörates, poldud varem märgatud seda, millise täpsusega nad seda teevad. ”
