Frog eats insect - this is the natural order of things. The Epomis beetle spits upon the natural order of things, then latches onto its face with double-hooked jaws and eats it alive.

The beetle hunts frogs in two ways. As a larve, it actually waves to a frog to lure it in, waits until the tongue comes out, grabs on for a zip-line to the frog’s face, and starts to chew. The beetle always wins.

The adult jumps onto a frog’s back, cuts through its leg muscles to paralyse it, and then eats it alive.
