Sugiura... had been planning to study the predator-prey relationship between R. attenuata and the frog because they share a habitat in Japan’s rice paddy fields.

We really should not force science to be useful. I mean, this one is a useful result but I wish we'd let them claim the value of findings on its own.

This needs a Ghibli movie. "Tale of the Beetle", or something.
