Watch this caterpillar fling its beetle attacker through the air

You don’t want to make this caterpillar angry.
In response to prodding by a curious human
or a hungry beetle,
this hornworm menances an attacker
with hisses and lunges.
If that’s not enough to deter a predator,
out come the wrestling moves.
The hornworm will use its mandibles
to grab and throw an attacking beetle,
sometimes spewing green goo at the same time.
Of the 25 faceoffs conducted for the study,
the caterpillars always came away the victor.
This suggests that this caterpillar’ sevolution
has been influenced by vertebrate predators like birds
and invertebrates like beetles.
