@katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org Thought as much: this paper by Gomes+ from 2018 did exactly that with a blowfly making water bubbles. The droplet cooled by up to 8°C below ambient in just 15 seconds under some conditions, & when re-ingested, lowered the temperature of the head, thorax, & abdomen by 1, 0.5, & 0.2°C, respectively. And of course the fly can repeatedly blow the bubbles, only losing a little at a time. Lots of other interesting details in the paper too 👍 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23670-2
