Regimbartia attenuata was just another species of water beetle until this week when scientists discovered that they can live through being eaten by a frog and survive the journey through its gut and simply exiting through the butt hole.
For the study, he put the tiny beetles in the same laboratory bin with specimens from five different frog species. However, this does not work on Regimbartia attenuata beetles though as Sugiura tried the same experiment on a different aquatic beetle, all of which were swallowed and excreted more than a day later.
On the other hand, the beetles that were free to move, emerged alive and well in a few hours. The fastest R. attenuata specimen exited the “gauntlet” in just after 7 minutes after being swallowed.
