This is how it could look
Strength demonstration scene: magnificent rhinoceros beetle — one of strongest animals relative to size in world — using extraordinary horn to lever up piece of tree bark, demonstrating remarkable strength. Rhinoceros beetle large and impressive: beautifully armoured, spectacular curved horn like tiny medieval siege weapon. Bark it is lifting actually quite heavy — larger than beetle itself — beetle heaving it up with determined effort. Underneath bark: whole hidden world revealed — colony of smaller insects, few woodlice, some fungi growing in dark. Smaller creatures in various states of surprise at sudden light. Rhinoceros beetle's expression: determined, focused pride in own strength.
