A beetles eye cannot see a star as mentioned. The moon will also stop them seeing the Milky Way. At best, they use the Milky Way on moonless, low cloud nights, the time of year when it's observable. As a human it's incredibly interesting to know if beetles actually use the Milky Way. For AI research it is also relevant. But we are sitting so close to stupid, there needs more proof. It does mean the proof matters. For the occasions a beetle could see the Milky Way did it's little brain come with pre-existing programming? or can store the Milky Way's image?. Which of the two is it, or is it something else? Unfortunately logic is it's just not true, or a boring it stores any old big blob. It would be interesting from a vision perspective, they don't need lidar or night vision better than blobs. Moonlit clouds makes far more sense, and the anti-fighting theory still works for a somewhat consistent moving grid of clouds. Maybe there are no clouds where they are.
