which is the fastest insect?

The insects with the highest reliably measured airspeeds are desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) and corn earworm moths (Helicoverpa zea). These fly at average airspeeds of 33 and 28 km/h respectively (about 21 and 17 mph). \n\nAustralian tiger beetles, genus Cicindela, subgenus Rivacindela, (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are the fastest running insects known. The fastest, Cicindela hudsoni, can run 2.5 meters per second (5.6 miles per hour).

I think the insect you are describing is what is known as the house centipede. They are incredibly fast little buggers, and can give you a good startle if you run into one unexpectedly. They are common in many types of houses and feed on smaller insects, sometimes even bed bugs, carpet beetles, clothes moths and young cockroaches, so they are typically more beneficial than detrimental....\nhere is a photo:\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/5590\n\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/74226

If I cant get the batmobile I stick with the E39 BMW M5. The fastest, most powerful car BMW has ever built. It can accelerate to 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds and is restricted to a top speed of 150 MPH. Without speed restrictors the top speed is about 180 MPH...

Fastest Animal peregrine falcon, a bird (100-200 miles per hour)\nFastest Marine Animal sailfish (68 miles per hour) \nFastest Land Animal cheetah (70 miles per hour)\n\nThe first link is wrong. It meant the fastest marine mammal is a blue whale. Sailfish are faster.

Pretty much anything that is smaller or slower than a lion. This does exclude rhinos, hippos, end elephants.

insect crawls and bug can fly

sailfish... They can swim at speeds of up to 68 m/h making them the fastest fish in the ocean.

Well, the Peregrine Falcon can fly at speeds up to 270 mph but if the animals were scaled to all be the same size, it has got to be the cockorach or black ant.

The Cheetah (derived from Sanskrit word Chitraka meaning "Speckled") (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts

fasted OBJECT?? ok herez what i found..\n\n\nQUOTE\n\nI used the search engine Google at:\nhttp://www.google.com\nand searched for:\n"fastest man made object"\nbecause using quotation marks tells the search engine to look for that exact\nphrase. I found these sites.\n\nFastest spacecraft will sail solar wind\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_428000/\n428027.stm\nThis is an article from BBC News. It tells about a vehicle that scientists at the\nUniversity of Washington have received a grant to develop. The article says,\n"Scientists calculate that speeds of 288,000 km/h (180,000 mph ) will be\npossible...". There is a brief description of the technology involved.\n\n\nGalileo Goes to Jupiter\nhttp://www.ece.ufl.edu/cover_story/galileo/\nThis is the cover story from an issue of the newsletter from the department of\nElectrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida. It describes the\nGalileo Probe''s approach to Jupiter in 1995, "The Probe was the fastest manmade\nobject ever. Decelerating from 106,000 to 250 mph in four minutes..."\n\n\nI didn''t find anything faster when checking NASA's site (http://www.nasa.gov );\nbut I did find a reference to the Probe being the fastest man-made object ''except\nfor accelerated atomic particles''.\n\nUNQUOTE

Insects have 6 legs. Arachnids, which are sometime mistaken for insects, have 8 legs.\n\nAnts are insects. Some arachnids you might come across in your daily life are spiders and ticks.

While the cheetah is the fastest living land animal, there are many birds which are much faster.  Falcons have been noted, often achieving 200 or so mph while stooping.\n\nI believe the fastest bird in level flight is the spine-tailed swift of Asia, Africa and Australia, which can reach 106 mph.

the Green Turtle is probably the fastest swimmer in short sprints, but the Leatherback turtle once it gets up to speed can reach speeds around 20 or 22 miles per hour.

He said quickest not fastest, Quickest is the fastest acceleration, fastest is well the car that can got eh fastest\n\ni would imagine it would be a Funny car or Top Fuel dragster, covering the quarter mile in mid 4 seconds at 300MPH, find me something else with wheels that is powered byt he wheels to accelerate from 0-300MPH in under 5 seconds

No way, The -Bugati Veron- is the fastest Thing on wheels that you could drive without special trining.\n(IT IS THE FASTEST CAR WITH THE FACTORY PARTS AND SPEC.S, YOU WOULD FIND FASTER CARS WITH MOD.S ON EM)\n\n\nWith those Insane looks,  1001 Horse Power - 16 Cylinders - 425km/h (about 265 Miles) tested on Track Top Speed.\n\nFrom silence to 300 (about 186.5 Miles) KM/H only in 13 Seconds\n\nTHE PRICE IS ABOUT: 1600000$ USD

Cheetah is the fastest animal on LAND.\n\nOverall, 'peregrine falcon' (a bird) is the fastest animal. It reaches speeds upto 200 mph!! (Cheetah only manages abt 70 mph)
