I see a real benefit to the beetle, if it can get out. But I'm wondering, is there any benefit to the frog from consuming this type of "fiber"?

Interesting. Free colon cleanse. Now we just need to find the beetle species that can perform the same feat in humans.
Maybe the same beetle would work. Has anyone tried?
A human has a much longer gut.
Sure though the deadliest part, the stomach, is not that long.
Granted, but I'm thinking more about how long the beetle can survive without access to air.
That's an aquatic beetle, a lot of those store their own air supply under their wings...
I guess you've never eaten boiled corn grains
Have you ever had an itch that you just can't reach?
