World's longest insect is twice the length of your worst nightmare
World's longest insect is twice the length of your worst nightmare 62.4-centimeter-long insect was originally mistaken for part of a tree Scientists in China report that they've found the world's longest insect — a new species of stick insect of the genus Phryganistria that measures over half a meter. According to state media outlet Xinhua, the specimen was discovered during a field trip in the Guangxi Zhuang region in 2014, but has now been declared the world's longest. The 62.4-centimeter-long creature beats the previous record holder, another stick insect discovered in 2008 (and named Phobaeticus chani or Chan's megastick) by nearly six centimeters. http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/6/116...t-insect-china |
