Sawfly larvae of the subfamily Perginae have a diverticular pouch of the foregut in which they store an oily fluid that they regurgitate when attacked. The fluid, which is an effective deterrent to ants, birds, and mice, is essentially identical chromatographically to the oils of the Eucalyptus leaves on which the larvae feed. The significance of the defensive use by animals of the "secondary substances" of their food plants is discussed.
叶蜂亚科锯蜂幼虫的前肠有一个憩室囊，它们在其中储存一种油性液体，受到攻击时会将其反刍出来。这种液体对蚂蚁、鸟类和老鼠是一种有效的威慑物，在色谱分析上与幼虫所食用的桉树叶的油脂基本相同。文中讨论了动物利用其食用植物的“次生物质”进行防御的意义。
