Okay so everyone knows that ants would be tremendously weak at human size, able to lift about 20 pounds and a man being able to literally beat their brains in.
But there's a beetle that can lift 20 pounds at it's size of a couple ounces.........
Cube Square wouldn't do much to something that's that strong and already that big.
How strong would something that big be if we upped it to weigh the same as a 225 pound man, and accounted for cubed square.
Assuming that at 6 inches long it weighs 3.2 ounces (most of the length is horn and while the females are bigger they are also a lot weaker)
A rough estimation would have it being immune to small arms and tossing people around like basketballs.

It's an insect correct?
It'd have problems breathing for one...
I'm also unsure as to whether chitin is as strong when scaled up...

It would die of oxygen starvation, unless the air had a larger oxygen percentile, but then it would be combusting whenever somebody lit a match, so we would have bigger problems.

In the Jurassic period forests and jungles covered most of the available land. That pushes the oxygen content of the air up which means insects can become bigger. An insect's inspiration mechanism is incredibly inefficient...
It probably wouldn't survive if it got any bigger.

It might be more sluggish compared to the smaller version, but it would still be pretty darn strong.
Easily tired, but still dangerous.
If you were in trouble with it, you'd just need to last long enough for it to run out of breath so to speak.

Again because this particular kind of insect doesn't breed like well....insects there should be enough oxygen in the immediate era to support a 200 pound man sized beetle in the Jurassic era. It would be so hype.....

Not likely.
Can you punch a pig till it dies? Maybe, but the pig will probably kill you first.
The beetle has the advantage of armored plating, even if its strength is decreased from its smaller size.

Not by a large margin, it would still be dozens of times stronger than a human proportionally with it's new found size.
Could probably lift about 2 tons.
I know........
a human sized ant would weight about the same as an ant and lift 200+ times its weight.
A Hercules Beetle is 1000s of times heavier and lifts 800+ times its own weight.

Upscaling something in this way makes many assumptions, most of which probably won't be correct; there would have to be a lot of differences in the insect's physiology, otherwise you have a physiology designed for an insect a couple of inches big that suddenly needs to work for one several meters big.
Simply multiplying everything by X won't work.

Give it whale efficiency lungs.....
That's pretty much all that needs to be done.
Even then something like this could have prospered in the Jurassic without worry.
The Whale efficiency lungs would probably be overkill but then there would be no trouble.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect#Respiratory_and_circulatory_systems The respiratory system is an important reason that limits the size of insects. As insects get bigger, this type of oxygen transport gets less efficient and thus the heaviest insect currently weighs less than 100g. However, with increased atmospheric oxygen levels, as happened in the late Paleozoic, larger insects were possible, such as dragonflies with wingspans of more than two feet.

It has incredibly basic respiration and circulatory systems in comparison to ours. It's part of the reason insects don't grow to be that large.

IIRC from my Biology class.
Insects basically rely on something similar to osmosis to breath. They simply absorb oxygen from the surrounding air from a few locations on their body.
Their circulation is also little more than osmosis. Its why a spider can bite an insect and turn the entire insides into jelly, its little more than a bag of liquid nutrients flowing over the organs.

People here have done similar on worse.

This is the internet, everything people say here is taken seriously.
I really haven't been using the Internets to its full potential. The internet is basically the Master sword apparently.
While we're on the subject I'm 7'6 and can benchpress 1200 pounds........

Finally found my quote from a gym buddy born and raised in South Korea:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." |
