Watch What Happens: Terrifying Hercules Beetle Can Hold Its Own When Confronted

If you can watch the following video without fleeing in fright, you are a stronger soul than myself.

Here at LifeDaily, we try to keep our readers informed, enlightened, and occasionally running for the hills with their tails between their legs. Take, for example, the time we showed you the video of a lion getting more than he bargained for when he bit into a dead zebra. Our data tells us you love that disgusting stuff for reasons we cannot fathom.

So again, we thought we traveled to the farthest reaches of the internet, battled commenters and trolls at length, and drugged up for you a viral video that can only make you scream “Eek!”

Meet the Hercules Beetle, also known as Dynastes hercules. We aren’t experts here, so we can only assume Dynastes is latin for “die you nasty little bugger.”

This ginormous bug is so scary there are records that it’s made some very muscular gym monkeys scream like little girls when confronted with it. Please note, this is anecdotal evidence and can neither be confirmed nor denied.

If you’re looking for a slightly more scientific opinion, we can also tell you that according to our trusty friend Wikipedia, the Hercules beetle can reportedly carry up to 850 times its body mass.

So without further ado, I bid you to press play and promptly run from the room. Once you come back, however, please lie to us in the comments about how you made it through the entire video without squealing and squirming.

Then SHARE the video with friends and family on Facebook because not enough people have had their day ruined by this terribly fascinating bug.
