... that it is not known whether larvae of Deretaphrus beetles spin their cocoons from their mouths or anal glands? Source: "The cocoon is composed of a thread-like, fibrous material that may be loose or tightly layered. It is not known whether the secretions are emitted from the buccal cavity or the anal glands of the larvae" Paywalled source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24773433?seq=13 (I am unable to find anything in the literature that suggests this question has been answered.)
