Meh. The whole “insects have super strength compared to humans” idea is a myth based on people not understanding why insects can lift multiples of their own weight. It’s the Square Cubed Relationship. As something gets smaller, its weight (which is dependent on volume) decreases much faster than the strength of muscles (which is dependent on cross sectional area), so the muscles are proportionally stronger. An ant to blown up to the size of a human would be extremely weak. This is also the reason why a huge animal such as Godzilla couldn’t exist. He’d collapse from his own weight.
