  • STUDY: As you study the beetle, you think you could probably wear, remove, clean, flip, kiss, pinch, punish, rub, tap and tickle it.
  • WEAR: You set your bombardier beetle on your shoulder. The beetle raises its abdomen briefly before getting a good grip.
  • REMOVE: You carefully remove your bombardier beetle from your shoulder. The beetle squirms and raises its abdomen briefly before resigning itself to being picked up.
  • CLEAN: Your bombardier beetle begins an elaborate grooming routine, using its mandibles to clean all of its legs before unfolding its membranous wings to clean them.
  • FLIP when worn: You can't -- you're wearing it.
  • FLIP when held: You try to flip your bombardier beetle onto its back for a belly rub, but the beetle quickly rights itself.
  • KISS when worn: You kiss a red bombardier beetle with black elytra!
  • KISS when held: You bring your bombardier beetle to your lips for a kiss, but the beetle launches itself into the air and clumsily flies away from your face before returning to your hand. What did you expect to happen?
  • PINCH: You give your bombardier beetle a squeeze. In response, the beetle makes a popping noise, spraying you with a hot, noxious chemical. Ouch!
  • PUNISH: You reach toward your bombardier beetle as if to squish it. In response, the beetle raises its abdomen, threatening to use its infamous defense mechanism on you. On second thought, perhaps squishing it is not such a good idea.
  • RUB: You gently pat your bombardier beetle on its thorax, and the beetle pulls its legs close to its body in a defensive posture and raises its abdomen. Evidently, it does not like to be rubbed.
  • TAP: With one finger, you reach toward your bombardier beetle. The beetle investigates you with its long antennae.
  • TICKLE: You try to tickle your bombardier beetle, but it grasps your finger with its legs and holds on tight. Did you really expect the beetle to laugh?
