This beetle is super strong. It can carry things 850 times its own weight. Imagine if you could hold up five elephants!
beetle = Käfer
850 times its own weight = 850-mal so schwer wie das eigene Gewicht

This fly lives in Austria. It looks like a dangerous scorpion but it is not dangerous at all! Scorpion flies eat fruit and berries.
