Who are the cheetahs of the insect world? What insects argue all day long?

author:Fun pop-up book

The beautiful tiger striped tianniu is the cheetah of the insect kingdom. This aggressive predator can run at speeds of up to 9 km/h. If you take into account its body shape, this speed is 20 times faster than that of the Olympic champion.

The cicada is the champion of the high jump in the insect world. It jumps to a height of up to 70 centimeters and takes off with more than 400 times more power than its own gravity.

The Walker red cicada in North America is the noisiest insect. It makes a loud noise of up to 108.9 decibels, which is louder than the sound of a car engine and chainsaw. The stinkiest bug is the salamander (qú sōu), which produces rotten flesh-smelling stink bombs from the stomach. To prevent predators from killing, it can spray this unpleasant liquid from its mouth to the opponent in a matter of milliseconds.

There is a deadly "beast" on Earth that is only 5 mm long, can kill more than 1 million people a year, extremely dangerous, and this pocket assassin is a mosquito, which can spread deadly diseases through bites.

Known as the heavy-duty "carrot crusher," the large sand borer (zhōng) weighs up to 75 grams, three times the weight of the average mouse. They live in New Zealand and can eat whole carrots.

The largest surviving member of the dragonfly family today is the giant winged bean lady, whose wingspan can reach 19 cm and its body length exceeds 12 cm. Giant-winged bean lady lives in the jungles of Central and South America and feeds on spiders. It can hover in front of the spider web, grab the spider, and then fly to a nearby tree, tearing off the spider's legs and devouring the spider's body.
