Cantharidin , a type of terpenoid , is a poisonous chemical compound secreted by many species of blister beetle , and most notably by the Spanish fly , Lytta vesicatoria . The false blister beetles and cardinal beetles also have cantharidin.
Cantharidin was first isolated by Pierre Robiquet in 1810. It is an odorless and colorless solid at room temperature . It is secreted by the male blister beetle and given to the female during the mating. Afterwards the female beetle will cover its eggs with it as a defense against predators. The complete mechanism of the biosynthesis is currently unknown. If cantharidin is ingested, it severely irritates the urinary tract as it is excreted, causing swelling of the genitalia. This can cause a harmful condition known as priapism in men, where an erection lasts more than about four hours.
