This animal let's itself get eaten? ????

Most animals die after being eaten. But the Regimbartia beetle lets itself get eaten… and just escapes out the other end. When swallowed by a frog, it crawls through the frog’s digestive system and forces its way out alive. Scientists discovered that the beetle can trigger the frog’s intestines to push it out in as little as 10 minutes, completely unharmed. This incredible escape trick is one of the few known cases where an animal can survive digestion.
