The '''acid pewpa''' split from ~~it's~~ ancestor and drew slightly larger. It added formic acid to its defense liquid which is able to irritate predators without a sense of smell.

Acid pewpas possess a different, bright coloration on their hind bodies, which are raised and waved from one side to another as a warning if the animal feels threatened; it's also a part of their mating rituals. The sticky eggs are laid on the roots of flora and covered with the parent's defense liquid, which loses its acid shortly before the eggs are laid.
