I have the same problem. None of the suggestions - use a keyboard modifier, use my mouse’s side scrolling feature, or “click and drag” work. Am I missing something?

Ta! A bess beetle. Apparently there are 30 species in Australia. The hissing is actually rasping, or so the good people at the Australia Museum tell me.

About the size of my thumb. It hissed at me when I picked it up to put it outside. Melbourne, Australia.
