Insect strength versus size
The rhinoceros beetle is a colossus in terms of insects and is among the mighty animals on Earth compared to its body weight. You've probably heard that the rhinoceros beetle can carry up to 850 times its own weight, even without bending on the knee segments, incredible!
Indeed, it is proportionally stronger than the elephant, which is the strongest land animal in terms of brute force.
Having said this, it is worth mentioning that if an elephant was reduced to the size of an error, its strength with respect to its mass would increase by a factor of x.
All this is connected with the phenomenon known as the law of scaling, officially recognized by Galileo in 1638.
The scaling law that warns insects from creating giant monsters
Galileo discovered that if the diameter of the sphere is increased by 2, the surface area is multiplied by 4 and the volume is eight times. This means that the elements of the body are not increased or decreased by the same amount.
In simple terms, if an error grows to the size of an elephant without changing the original shape of its body, it will be so heavy compared to its legs that it cannot move its own skeleton, let alone carry eight hundred and fifty times its own weight.
It will be necessary to radically change its proportions, starting with his legs. This can be illustrated in the proportions of human growth.
In humans, the head becomes proportionally smaller, and the legs become larger and stronger when the person grows to the size of an adult. If the legs remained proportionally the same from infancy to adulthood, they would not have the strength to hold the body.
Increased need for oxygen and food
There are other anatomical constants, such as the insect respiratory system, which would become insufficient with an increase in volume compared to the surface area of the error. This will require the lungs instead of simply absorbing air through the spiracles, in order to be able to satisfy the increased oxygen demand.
In addition, without this, he was born in a massive pile of manure the size of a hill, he could not provide himself with a huge amount of food that he would need to continue.
Thus, a calming rest, even if someone invented a magical hormone drug to grow, say, cockroaches to the size of a man, the resulting monsters will be as agile as a wheel dozer with flat tires. Without, of course, their morphology developed.
