Square-Cube Law.
If you reduce the linear measurements to 1/6, the 
area of a surface goes down as the square (1/36) and 
the volume goes down as the cube (1/216). Therefore
the displacement is 327/216=1.51.

That is why insects are relatively small. If their length 
doubles, the volume, and hence the weight goes up 
as the cube and an exoskeleton simply cannot support 
it.
