·         It seems that God has provided the water beetle Regimbartia attenuate the way it could withstand a frog’s stomach. It sneaks out through the captor’s anus.


·         This reminds me of the other ways God has found ways for beetles to evade predators, like the  bombardier beetle, who  Shinji Sugiura also mentioned in his study, published on August 3 in Current Biology.
