Structural adaptations and mechanism of reflex bleeding in the larvae of the myrmecophilous ladybird <ce:italic>Diomus thoracicus</ce:italic>
Reflex bleeding is an effective defensive mechanism against predators. When attacked, some insects emit hemolymph, which coagulates, quickly entangling their aggressor. Bleeding occurs at weak intersegmental membranes or through dedicated organs, which can be associated or not with glandular cells.
