Strongest Insect in the World


Strongest Insectin the World
The tropical species Archegozetes longisetosus is one of the strongest animals in the world, relative to its mass (100 μg)..

It lifts up to 1182 times its own weight. It's an equivalent of a human lifting 212000 pounds.
On the other hand, rhinocerous beetle can carry 850 times its own weight. 

To put that into perspective that would be like one of us lifting a 65 ton armoured tank.
