Thanks fun police
More fun policeage: An insect of that size would suffocate pretty quickly. They don't have a lung and circulatory system, but rather just have holes in their body through which air can travel deep inside and then the oxygen kind of just permeates to everywhere it's needed.
If the insect is scaled up (and oxygen concentration not scaled appropriately), then the oxygen will simply not permeate deep enough.
