Apparently, the beaded lacewing paralyzes its prey (termites) with its farts.
Interesting interview with a zoologist who literally wrote a book about the science of farts, poop and butts.
(Anybody here ever get that close to a seal or sea lion?)

I have had a seal have explosive diarrhea on me during capture (with appropriate permits, etc.). I was wearing Grundens but it was pretty dang gross. But really, seals are just gross all around - they only look cute.
