Water beetles can survive even after being eaten and excreted by a frog

Generally insects die after being eaten by a frog but it is not true in case of water beetle. Instead of succumbing to the frog's digestive juices, an eaten Regimbartia attenuata traverses the amphibian's throat, swims through the stomach, slides along the intestines and climbs out the frog's butt, alive and well. Surviving digestion-by-predator is rare, but not unheard of in the animal kingdom.
