In response some plants can do things like release toxins or foul tasting chemicals to kill/deter predators

That's pretty cool, thanks. If you need me I'll be reading about this on Wikipedia now...

I just did some quick reading and i found a really cool one! One defense mechanism response is that the plant can release chemicals that attracts the predators of the insect that's eating the plant!

I once knew a marble... sadly they're lost to us now. They were last seen on the Wikipedia page for bill hooks three months ago.

We mourn the loss of their loved ones.

This tree looks to increase the toxicity of its leaves to deter giraffe.

They can send a chemical that will make their leaves taste bad.
