What arthropod can withstand heats of over 140 º?

The arthropod known for its ability to withstand extreme heat, exceeding temperatures of 140 ºF (60 ºC), is the Tardigrade, often referred to as water bears. These microscopic creatures can survive extreme environmental conditions, including intense heat, radiation, and dehydration, due to their unique cellular structure and cryptobiOSis. Tardigrades enter a dormant state, allowing them to endure extreme temperatures and other harsh conditions for extended periods.
