Defensive secretions of adult and larval Suocerathrips linguis (Phlaeothripidae, Thysanoptera) were found to contain a long-chained acetate, (11Z)-11,19-eicosadienyl acetate, that was not previously known to occur naturally. This substance occurred together with octadecyl acetate and other long-chained acetates. The eicosadienyl acetate repels ants and spreads on the surface of such potential predators. The mixture can provide a long-lasting surface coating.
已发现成年和幼虫期的舌管蓟马（管蓟马科，缨翅目）的防御性分泌物含有一种长链乙酸酯，即（11Z）-11,19-二十碳二烯基乙酸酯，该物质以前未知在自然界中存在。这种物质与乙酸十八酯和其他长链乙酸酯一起出现。二十碳二烯基乙酸酯能驱赶蚂蚁，并能在这类潜在捕食者的表面扩散。该混合物可提供持久的表面涂层。
