Effects on Humans
The haemolymph in thebeetle’s entire body (except the wings) contains the most poisonousanimal contact toxin in the world called ‘pederin’ (C24 H43 O9 N) named in 1953. It is 12 times more poisonous than cobra venom ! Dried and stored rove beetle for 8 years still retained it’s toxicity !
