EXPLANATION:
Normally, beetles with fixed, static spawn locations have a 1% chance to respawn for every IRL minute of active playtime that has passed, but only if the player is far FAR away from the beetle in question.

...however, I've since learned that even tho this particular beetle appears always in the same spot, it is not "static" but instead "randomly" generated, which you can easily use to make them appear over and over again. The same method can be used to farm a couple of other, otherwise rare materials, like the Stealthfin Trout inside the Lost Woods for example.
