Ants are stronger only because they are so small (from a leverage point of view). What the ants really have going for them is their group way of life. If a beetle and an ant get involved there will soon be dozens of ants attacking that beetle as soon as the distress pheromones go up from the first ant.
When you see those videos of army ants sweeping along the jungle, beetles are just another morsel in the way.

in ratio for the size the ant and its strength includes the colony ,
because an ant is an componant of a larger collective intelligence that governs ,namely the colony ,so the ant is the colony and i have seen many soldiers ants drag bigger things around that a beetle could
but the beatle in its singularity and size can move much bigger pebbles than a single ant can
