[Answer] 2. When you hear my name, you may expect me to be able to hold up the heavens on my shoulders. However, I'm actually a horned beetle common to Malaysia which rarely exceeds 130 mm. What is my name?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. When you hear my name, you may expect me to be able to hold up the heavens on my shoulders. However, I'm actually a horned beetle common to Malaysia which rarely exceeds 130 mm. What is my name?"



...1. Gorgon beetle 2. Argus beetle 3. Minos beetle 4. Atlas beetle Although 130 mm is clearly not remarkable in mythological circles, it is in the insect world. The horns possessed by the Atlas beetle are used in fights with other beetles. The larvae of the Atlas beetle are known for their aggression towards other grubs if rivalled for resources and will often fight each other to the death. Once grown, the Atlas beetle can carry up to 4 kg. This is the same as a human being carrying an elephant and a zebra together (from http://www.gedcasserley.saddleworth.net/html/atlas_beetle.html). It is unclear as to whether the beetle was named after the mythological Greek titan or the North African mountain range.
