  • That horse got stung by that beetle. See what a painful death it has.

  • @DutchManticore this beetle isnt poisonous dude

  • OMG. that is so grosssssssss. EWWWWWWWW!!! Bugs are really creepy. Especially since I heard theres a horned dung beetle that can lift a 150 pound person carrying 6 full double decker buses. I mean you could runover it with your car and it would just shake it off. ewwwwwwww. I hate beetles.

  • how can you hate them when they do something so amazing like that and a car would crush them

    but not technecally they can lift 100 times their body wheight the 6 busses thing would be an example if humans had that strength and they are amamzing

    try taking it one step at a time

  • woah, so that thing didn't bite or anything? Other then like pull on your skin with his little claws?

  • nope it doesnt bite

    but its claws could rip off my skin ive seenit happen which is why i was careful

    although i still have scars
