Lacewing larvae incapacitate termite prey with the toxic flatulence they emit from their end change

According to The Body’s Most Embarrassing Organ Is an Evolutionary Marvel:

Lacewing larvae incapacitate termite prey with the toxic flatulence they emit from their end—“they literally KO their enemies with death farts,” Ainsley Seago, an entomologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, told me.

I came to this wikipedia page to read more about it, but it is not discussed in the article.
