The strongest insect in the world

In recent years, it's not unusual to see some weird species of birds and bugs that were not previously in this area. I don't know whether this is a matter of global warming (climate change) or something else.

Today, I accidentally noticed one bug, it was in the high grass. I came closer because it instantly attracted all my attention. It was Dung beetle (Lat. Scarabaeidae)! Surrounded by a dozen highly aggressive ants, it looked quite overwhelming, which is very strange, because this insect belongs to a group of 10 of the world's most strongest animals!

At one of the English universities, a scientific experiment was made that proved that this insect is able to lift the weight 1141 times larger than its own. If a man had the same ability as this insect, let's say that a man of 90 kg of body weight would be able to raise the weight of: 102 t (90 * 1141 = 102690 kg). You have read it well! Yes, quite impressive.
In ancient Egypt, this insect was considered a sacred animal.

Great photos!
Oh, these ants ...
They will eat it ...
It's a pity .. since this beetle only brings benefit to nature.
Harm from him and his larvae is not at all!
