Maybe I don't understand the question right but that's just how evolution works. Nature doesn't choose anything, the beetle doesn't choose anything, it just happened to be a successful evolution trait that boosted survivability and you don't see the failed evolutions.

Always remember nature never chooses anything, you just see the successful ones and the failed ones simply die off compared to others with better traits. The small traits add up over years and you have a new species. I am no expert but that's how I understand it.
