A lizard is blown out to sea during a hurricane. This type of storm occurs very infrequently—on average once every 100 years. The lizard washes up on the beach of a small island. The lizard finds some beetles on the beach.
Individual beetles on the island vary in size. It takes the lizard the same amount of energy to catch a beetle, regardless of the size of the beetle. Which beetle does optimal foraging theory predict the lizard will eat most frequently?
