Actually, they are not disproportionally strong, if you count proportions correctly, taking into account the cube-square law (mass grows with cube of size, cross-section of muscles = strength grows with square of size). Both grasshopper and human can jump 1 meter high, and this is not something unexpected.The bathroom was much too small to fully spread them, or flap them, so she dropped back to all sixes and scuttled out and downstairs into the living room. It was barely large enough to experiment in although she'd need to move the sofa out of the way. Which turned out to be remarkably easy, in turn making her realize that her giant wasp body was much stronger than she'd expected. It kind of made sense, insects were well known to be disproportionately strong, but even so it was a bit of a surprise.
The breathing apparatus of an insect wouldn't work scaled up. Never mind the exoskeleton buckling under its own weight...It was useful information and probably due to powers weirdness, as was the way she could even fly in that body. Or just breathe. In theory an insect the size of a doberman should simply suffocate under its own mass, but she had no trouble at all.
Physics at small scales gets weird!
