If insects were 100 times larger, would it be possible for insects to rule the planet?

If insects grow 100 times in size, and all of their bodily functions function as they did before they expanded, then eventually insects can rule the earth. As for the reasons, let's briefly analyze it.

First of all, when the insect is enlarged by 100 times, it has no natural predators, and its combat power has skyrocketed, and it can easily kill most predators. Since most of today's insects are relatively small, many insects have become predators of various predators. But if the size of the insect increases by a factor of 100, then the predator, which is the natural predator of all kinds of insects, has no ability to kill the prey they see.

Moreover, after the size of the insect is expanded by 100 times, its combat power will also increase with the expansion of its size, not only will it not take various natural predators into account, but it can also easily hunt other predators.

The second is that insects that have expanded by 100 times will not worry about food, and can quickly expand their populations in a short period of time, compressing the living space of other species. We know that if a species wants to reach the level of domination, then the number must be guaranteed. And insects that have expanded their size by 100 times will not be limited in size due to natural predators, plus they can catch enough food and will not worry about their cubs starving to death, so the population can be quickly ** to reach the level of domination.

Finally, there are many insect species that are also highly commanding and meet the requirements of ruling the earth. The main reason why we humans can rule the earth is that we have enough intelligence to conquer other species, and insects need to have enough intelligence to rule the earth. According to the intelligence of existing insects, some insects are even more intelligent than we humans.

Insects may not be able to build the civilization we have now, but they can reach the level of dominating the earth.

No way. This is because the development of human science and technology is very advanced, so if such a situation occurs, human beings can also deal with it, and it is impossible to let insects rule the earth.

Impossible, because insects have a relatively low IQ, they can't achieve the effect of dominating the earth, and humans are higher animals.

No, because many of the food chains are natural enemies of insects, and even if the size of the insect increases, it will be harmed by other animals.

The Earth, as a star that can create a life, has lived for many years, and there are many microorganisms living on the Earth before humans. According to scientific research, we know that it was the Tyrannosaurus rex that ruled the earth before humans, but what about before the Tyrannosaurus rex? While no one can answer this, we know that only the brightest microbes can rule the planet.

In the world of dinosaurs, these larger, more ** carnivorous dinosaurs ruled the earth. Because the number of Tyrannosaurus rex was more diverse at that time, it could dominate the Earth, so some people talked about the problem, if the ants were magnified by 1,000 times, could they dominate the Earth?

First of all, we need to understand that the total number of ants is 160,000 times that of a human being. If the ant is magnified by 1,000 times, the ant may be larger than the Tyrannosaurus rex, and the ant may be called a monster by others. There are 160,000 times more monsters than humans, can you humans still defeat them?

Looking at this magnified ant, it is not based on intelligence to gain dominance over the Earth of the Dominator.

Many netizens feel that even if the ants are magnified by 160,000 times, they are unlikely to snatch the domination of the earth from humans, because despite their size, their intelligence is low.

For thousands of years, human beings have developed many new scientific and technological products based on their own intelligent brains, which are unrivaled in the heavens, the earth and the sea, and can also be explored in the universe. As for the ants, except for being larger, they are useless, and everyone's nuclear bomb, one can solve many ants. Therefore, ants cannot rule the earth.

According to the response of this netizen, everyone can also see that intelligence is an asset that rules the earth. During the Tyrannosaurus Rex period, although they were very large, their small animals of the relative sex were also more intelligent, so in addition to consuming more resources on the earth, the ants that became larger may eventually be subdued by humans and commonly used by humans. I don't know the answer to this question, what do you think?

I don't think that even if the size of the ants were 100 times larger, they would not be able to rule the earth, because ants are very simple-minded animals, and they simply do not know how to create an advanced civilization.

There is no way to rule the earth, because ants are not as smart as humans at all, and even if they are 100 times larger, they are still just ants, just a little larger.

No. Because it is mainly necessary to rule the earth by wisdom, and ants do not have wisdom, so they cannot rule the earth.

will not dominate the world.

One is that insects only have an exoskeleton and no endoskeleton. The exoskeleton has a limited load-bearing capacity, so insects can't grow too much.

The second is that if insects can really grow that big, their numbers will not be too large, and they will not be able to dominate the world. There are many species of animals larger than humans, and none of them dominate the world.

What is the reason why insects thrive on earth?

Insects become zhi

The reason for the most abundant fauna group is back.

1 Wings can fly.

Insects are the only winged group of invertebrates, and they are also the earliest winged group of animals. The acquisition of flight ability has brought great benefits to insects in foraging, courtship, avoiding enemies, and dispersing.

2. Strong fecundity.

Insects have an amazing ability to reproduce. Most insects lay eggs in the range of hundreds of eggs, with social and parthenogenetic insects have stronger fertility, if needed, a bee can lay millions of eggs in a lifetime, some people have estimated that if a parthenogenetic aphid all survive and continue to reproduce, the total number of aphids can reach about 600 million after half a year. Strong reproductive potential is the basis for a thriving population;

3 Small body advantage.

Most insects are small, not only a small amount of food can not only meet their nutritional needs for growth and reproduction, but also make them have many advantages in living space, flexibility, avoiding enemies, reducing damage, and migrating downwind.

Entomologists believe that the huge number of insects on the earth is due to several reasons: outside.

The DAO skeleton provides protection for its specialists, is very small, and most of them can fly. These traits help them evade enemies and fly into new environments. Because they are small in size, they only need a small amount of food and can survive in small crevices.

Insects have been living on the earth for a long time. Among them, cockroaches first appeared 300 million years ago and are the oldest insect species on Earth.

Because the concentration of oxygen in the air was much higher than it is now, it was more suitable for the growth of insects, and the growth size of organisms was also related to the concentration of oxygen in the air.

Downstairs is too complicated, in the history of the evolution of the earth, there is a stage that is indeed the supremacy of insects, there is a general phenomenon of giant organisms, not only organisms, but also plants, in fact, it is very simple, when everything is huge, species will also be huge with environmental changes.

Not just insects, many arthropods in prehistory.

The animals were all larger than their current counterparts, such as dragonflies, centipedes, etc.

Arthropods (insects are also arthropods) were the first animals to land, landing on land with the arrival of plants in the Ordovician period, about 500 million years ago, and quickly adapted to life on land, about 100 million years before vertebrate landing. By the time vertebrates landed, arthropods had evolved into a myriad of species of varying shapes, taking over land and sky.

It is generally believed that the earth was warm, humid, rainfall, densely forested, and the average temperature could reach 25, nearly 10 times higher than it is now. The oxygen content of the atmosphere is not 21% now, but about 25%. Even at high latitudes, the winter climate was not as cold as it is now, as comfortable as spring and autumn are now, and there are no perennial ice sheets in the polar regions.

It was the abundance of oxygen, the warm climate, and the absence of natural predators on land that allowed arthropods to grow much larger than they are now.
