China Bug Declared World’s Longest Insect


A bug over half a meter (1.6 feet) long discovered in southern China has been declared the world’s longest insect.

  •  A stick insect measuring 62.4 centimeters (24.6 inches) found two years ago in the southern province of Guangxi has broken the record for length among the world’s 807,625 known insects. 
  • The previous record-holder was a Malaysian 56.7-centimeter-long (22.3 inches) stick insect discovered in 2008 and now on display in London’s Natural History Museum.
