Hercules beetles, the strongest things.

Hercules beetles (also known as Rhinoceros Beetles) are the strongest animals on earth. They can lift objects over 850 times their weight! Sometimes, two male rhinoceros beetles will fight over a female. Whoever flips over the other male wins. If you were as strong as a Rhinoceros Beetle you would be able to lift six Elephants on your back. We have some Rhino Beetles in Arizona, they live in higher elevations though. I’ve always wanted one as a pet! (:

Ideas

If you have an idea of a bug you want me to write about let me know. If you are wondering how to tell me you can just send it through a comment for me to approve of. Here are some pictures of bugs you can look at for fun.

Bombardier beetle powers

You can probably tell by the title that this post is about Bombardier beetles. Did you know that out of all animals beetles are the most common? now here are the facts.

1. Bombardier beetles can spray powerful spray from their rear, They can shoot it so fast that it goes several times their body length. Once Charles Darwin put one in his mouth while he tried to catch two other beetles. Oops…

2. they use their spray to go across the water.

3. They use it to get away from predators. You sure have to watch out for stuff in the bug world! That spray could eat through a bugs outer shell. Yikes!
