Not the Hercules Beetle, This is the Strongest Beetle in the World

Bukan Kumbang Hercules, Ternyata Inilah Kumbang Terkuat di Dunia

"Not the Hercules Beetle, It Turns Out This is the Strongest Beetle in the World"

"When discussing the strongest insects in the world, we often think of ants or Hercules beetles. Ants can lift loads up to 50 times their body weight, while adult Hercules beetles can lift loads up to 850 times their body weight. Although these species demonstrate extraordinary strength, there is one type of insect that is considered stronger. Curious what insect that is? Let's take a look at its story below!"

Not the Hercules Beetle, This is the Strongest Beetle in the World

"Currently, the strongest insect in the world is the horned dung beetle (Onthophagus taurus). The horned dung beetle has the ability to pull a load up to 1,141 times its own body weight, even though its size is only about 10 millimeters. In other words, a horned dung beetle can pull a load equivalent to an adult human lifting two 18-wheeled trucks."

"To test the strength of the horned dung beetle, scientists attached a small cotton thread to the hard shell of the beetle's wing. They then connected the thread to a pulley, where a mini bucket was attached at the end. The scientists added drops of water to this bucket to safely measure the strength of the horned dung beetle."

"The rhinoceros beetle follows the horned dung beetle as one of the strongest insects in the world. Nevertheless, in terms of muscle strength, the horned dung beetle often has much greater strength compared to the rhinoceros beetle."

The translation of "Aktivitas Kumbang Kotoran Bertanduk." to English is "Activities of the Horned Dung Beetle."

The name of the horned dung beetle comes from its habit of encountering piles of animal dung. They tend to dig tunnels through the waste and enter the ground. Although the tunnels provide a place to store dung that will later be used as food, their strength is actually not required to dig those tunnels.

The translation of "Asal-Usul Kumbang Kotoran Tanduk" to English is "The Origin of the Horned Dung Beetle."

The horned dung beetle, or known as the Taurus scarab, is a species of dung beetle that spreads across several regions of the world, including North America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Their name comes from the long horn-like protrusions on their heads, which are actually only possessed by males. Not all male horned dung beetles have these horns. Along with their incredible strength, horned dung beetles use these horns to help fight their rivals for breeding rights.

The text translated to English while preserving the HTML tags is: "Dung beetles are very important in the ecosystem where they live. By digging tunnels through waste and burying it, they help to spread essential nutrients back into the soil. They also eliminate breeding grounds for flies by doing so. This controls the fly population, which can improve the quality of life for animals such as cows."

"The dung collected in the tunnel by horned dung beetles is used just like flies. Once inside the tunnel, their waste becomes brood balls, which serve as a place to hatch eggs."
