would a slight Con increase be in order for the nest leader? it should definitely get a Str increase, as the text says they are stronger. the base bite damage doesn't have to increase if the Str does.
here is the flavor text (got anything to add to that?):
Every dragon beetle nest is occupied by at least one larger, stronger dragon beetle. This nest leader has a stronger shell, and its venom is more potent.

how much of an increase to Str and Con would be appropriate? +2? +3? +4?
