into a sort of pale blue green flame.
This is immediately followed by n
kind of smoke.
Now this smoke has a remarkable
effect upon the pursuer. So sooner
do the fumes come into contact with
the ground beetle than the creature
is blinded and stupefied. Paralysis
overtakes the insect, and It seems un
able to move any farther.
Quite a while elapses before the
ground beetle recovers. In the mean
time the bombardier makes good his
escape.
