Beetle's advocate:
I was just on my way out to find food when I was waylaid by a young giant human and his family.
I suffered serious molestation, was catalogued, photographed and delayed for over an hour by the giants. I was in fear for my life and thought I would never see my children again.
...and then I escaped and they can't find me! Ha-ha-ha!!

I could i.d. some things at 5 a.m. but not a beetle. Friends always used to say 'haven't you got a book?' meaning I had all the references.
You know, in that family Peter, the beetle may have been delayed, but never harmed. Grandson sounds like a chip off the old block.
