darkling beetle defensive glands

[zxneon]

from where Zophobas morio beetles emit that defensive smell ? It is somewhere in thorax right ? when i annoy beetle enough some cloudy liquid shows in that general location and beetle starts to stink . Where are those glands located actually ?

Try to mess with them again but keep a close eye on where the liquid comes out. I ordered a desert sampler from bugsincyberspace and he sent me a blister beetle, I think the liquid also came from around the thorax.
