<">The diatom shells are covered in sharp spines that make them dangerous to exoskeletal insects, but not to animals with internal skeletons. The spines of the diatom skeletons pierce the soft body tissues of insects between their hard exoskeletal plates and it is through these numerous microscopic wounds that the insect loses bodily moisture to the point of desiccating and dying."

"The spines of the diatom skeletons "pierce" the soft body tissues".

Wouldnt something that can pierce soft body tissue be stronger than just "brushing" ?
