Maybe a lot of upvotes have not witnessed this themselves.

Not everything is going to be a new thing just for you. Don't you find it a little comforting that other people are now becoming aware that beetles are able to do this?

I believe there is some emerging friction between academically authenticated knowledge and that observed by mere “amateurs.”

Agreed. I don't understand why they are making such a fuss about this. It seems trivial and expected, and is not an uncommon site (if you like looking into ponds like me).
