Description	By nature, defensive behavior is risky. In social insects, it often becomes suicidal. Risky behavior should be expressed by individuals whose potential for other tasks is diminished, e.g. by old age. Here, we show that workers of the termite Neocapritermes taracua develop an exceptional two-component suicidal apparatus, consisting of copper-containing protein crystals, stored in an external pouch, and internal salivary glands. During fight, their body ruptures and the crystals react with the gland secretion to produce a toxic droplet. Both the amount of defensive substances and the readiness to explode increase with workers' age, as their food-collecting ability declines. By nature, defensive behavior is risky.
