When This Beetle Gets Eaten by a Frog, It Heads for the ‘Back Door’
New research details how this Japanese water beetle travels through the bowels of its predator to emerge out the other end, alive and unharmed
What a journey for this beetle!
reminds me of the glorious tale of lemmywinks - in reverse
Sugiura... had been planning to study the predator-prey relationship between R. attenuata and the frog because they share a habitat in Japan’s rice paddy fields.
We really should not force science to be useful. I mean, this one is a useful result but I wish we'd let them claim the value of findings on its own.
This.
I did not predict that R. attenuata can escape from the frog vent
sus
Alternately, frog vent the bug hole?
This needs a Ghibli movie. "Tale of the Beetle", or something.
Houdini act like the article says lol
I feel this beetje should be renamed to andyduffresniensis
