Moth found to secrete distinct defensive fluids to ward off different types of predators

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers from the University of Jyväskylä in Finland and Technische Universität Braunschweig in Germany has found that the wood tiger moth secretes two different types of fluids from different parts of its body to ward off two different types of predators. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes how they studied the moths in their lab and what they learned about them.
