>There are no IRL creatures that commit suicide by exploding.

>When threatened, "exploding ants" (Camponotus saundersi) can contract their abdominal muscles so hard that their body wall ruptures, releasing a sticky, toxic fluid that entangles and poisons attackers. The ant dies in the process.
>Termites (Neocapritermes taracua) - Some termite species have old workers with special "blue crystals" in their abdomens. When they rupture themselves, the crystals mix with glandular fluids to create a sticky, toxic goo. This slows or kills enemies such as ants.
>Bombardier beetles (Brachinus explodens) don’t kill themselves, but they do blast boiling hot, toxic chemicals from their abdomen. The chemicals are produced in separate chambers and only mix at the moment of firing, creating an actual chemical explosion. The beetle survives this, making it a reusable weapon rather than a suicide attack.
