No arthropod (insect, arachnid, crustacean or centi/millipede) can get truly large, because of two main reasons. The breathing system of arthropods consists of a network of tubes through which pure air flows to the organs. In larger animals this system would not work. It would have to fill the entire body to reach all the cells and there would be no room for organs! In a small animal, even the organs furthest away from the tubes still get oxygen because they're closer than in a large animal.
The second reason is their exoskeleton. A small insect can be covered in one, but a larger animal could not handle the weight of a proportionate exoskeleton. It would be too heavy.
Now, in the Carboniferous period, millions of years ago, there were giant arthropods - millipedes almost as long as a car, dragonflies as large as eagles - but the air was far richer in oxygen at that time, because animals were just getting onto land while plants had been there for far longer, so they'd built up massive amounts of oxygen that were only just starting to be breathed in. Also, arthropods ruled back then, not threatened by reptiles or birds, so their exoskeletons weren't as thick, either!
ants aren't really stronger than an elephant, it just means that an ant can pick up something 10 times its size, if you tried that with an elephant, it would be squished.
on the other hand 1billion ant could easily defeat Godzilla.?!
Because humans shrunk them ina giant shrink ray.
I believe its because of the way they breathe air. Ants have little holes on their bodies that take in oxygen and if the ant grew bigger it would have breathing problems.....
Does not have a bone structure.
yes they can kill other animals but not big animals small animals.
One ant can't really kill an elephant. Unless the elephant sees the ant, but that is kind of impossible, and has a heart attack.
It depends on the kind of ant. If it's a reagular ant it would be small. If it's a red ant it would be big.
They are as big as golf balls
It depends on how big the elephant is, how big the lorry is and what the lorry is carrying- if it is carrying anything.
we'd be scared of them.
What body parts are common to an ant and an elephant? In what way do they differ

No
It depends are you an ant or a elephant, is your an ant then it's as big as a house, if your a elephant then its the size of a marble, but if your a person then its a little smaller than a coffee mug which is 8oz
both are same size cell. but elephant just has more cells than ant.

Yes. CTRL + Q to Enable/Disable GoPhoto.it
Its a movie? ants cant join into one big ant..... -_-
There is more than three: "Tall Elephant": Eleplant Ape Hen Ant Peahen Eel Or without rearranging the letters: ant, ape, elephant
They both live on Earth
