Hi! Everyone, I hope you are having a great week, Today I will tell you about the most estrange bugs in the world.
One of these is the goliath beetles, which are native to the African tropics, they eat tree sap and fruit, and they can reach over 4 inches long and look at this you can have one as a pet only feed it with dog food! (But here in Monterrey I think that the clime is not good for these insects)(Cellania)
Other estrange bug, is one of the must strong in the world, it can support 850 times its own weight on its shell! Can you imagine this! This insects can grow over 6 inches in length, well know you want to know the name of this awesome insect well is its named Hercules beetle is like a kind of rhinoceros and live in South America, also this insect is eats only vegetation, but when it fight for a female he eat his opponent.(this insect is the one which appear in the a bug's life movie)
Can you imagine little ants torturing and trapping other insects? Well its true, tree ants in the Amazon build elaborating traps for other insects and they feed of them, when one insect is catches on their traps the ants emerge from hiding and pull they prey´s to immobilize them, and then they carry parts off to the colony! That is like a torture rack! I don’t can imagine that!(Cellania)
Well next week I will continue telling you more about estrange bugs, this is fascinating!
Okay have a nice weekend and good look in the partial exams!

This insects are amazing Carito, I can’t believe that the Hercules beetle can support 850 times his weight it sounds crazy , but well is the nature. Is very scared the three types of ants I don’t want to catch one of their traps, I don’t like so much the insects but is exciting when you put some ants in bottle with one spider the spider can’t fight with the ants and the ants won the battle.
ResponderEliminarI hope that never catch one of the traps and the Hercules beetle is an amazing beetle. I hope that you next blog continue been amazing.
Hi Caro! I hope you are having an excellent time and weekend. I decided to comment in your blog even that I don’t like insects, the title make me enter your blog. When I was reading your article I just cannot stop thinking that the creator of the Bug Movie need to make this huge research so they can give personality to the insect. For example you mention that the Hercules beetle can support 850 more times its own weight on his shell, this mean that this insect is strong; and in the movie the Hercules beetle was the rude insect.
ResponderEliminarAnd the little ants that torture other insects really make me scare, you think the ants are helpless but know I see I was wrong. But in general I like this post in your blog, I found it interesting. Keep it up!
