What's the fastest bug in the world?

ANSWER

The Australian tiger beetle, Cicindela hudsoni, is the World's fastest running insect recorded to date, with an average speed of 5.5 mph (9 km/h). This doesn't sound very fast but the tiger beetle is a small animal, so at 5.5 mph it is moving at a relative speed of 171 body lengths per second.
