Any of them.
Humans are a poor match hand to hand with animals half your size. |

Any insect the size of a human could take down any human, assuming the human is not armed.

All of them. They are all way stronger than we are pound for pound. Ever pick up a struggling beetle or watch and ant carry stuff way bigger than itself?

Even at 1/4 or 1/8th the size of a human, I bet 90% or more of the insect kingdom would destroy a human in hand to hand combat.

None of them.
Because they don't have lungs and an oxygen circulation system, if they were scaled up they would immediately start suffocating and would be dead within minutes. |

Newtons 3rd law and conservation of momentum states it can take a man down regardless of size. Bug has to have the right acceleration and velocity.

Humans are essentially defenseless and weak creatures. Our only advantage, granted it’s a significant one, is our brains and the ability to create tools to defend ourselves.

Insect doesnt even have to be the size of a human to take a human out. Look at damn ticks, right one can fuck your world up. Sting from a hornet. Black widow or Brown recluse (yea not an insect) BUT. Scorpion (are these bastard insect or aracnids...)

If a bullet ant feels like getting shot at normal size, it would feel like getting hit by a cannon scaled to human size.

Are We ignoring the issues With book lungs and the in efficiency of an open circulatory system causing insects larger than a a bjjout 20 lbs to be non viable ? If so humans lose BIG TIME . But if we factor in realism and such the insects can’t stand up and breath, and die if suffocation shortly after hitting bobcat size.

If you want to scale up an ant to human size, you can't keep its legs in proportion, or else it will just collapse. You need to make its legs much bigger, and more directly under its body, or else it won't even support its own weight |
