Are there any pics of a bombardier beetle actually shooting?

I just want a pic of the little buggers doing what it's famous for. Never seen what it actually looks like.

Whoa! That's awesome.

Sorry, guys, now I believe in the God of the Bible. This is the nail in the damned coffin. There is absoultely no simpler explanation than this invisible old man made everything plus these beetles and then sent his water-walking son to die for us all. It's just too freaking perfect and objectively beautiful. I'm saved.

*Whew* I almost went to Hell there before this beetle saved me.

On a more serious note, that actually is really freaking awesome.

LOL

That really is cool. It just makes me think that everything evolved through a complex but simple way of adaption and natural selection.
