Phryganistria Chinensis Zhao: Largest Insect In The World: by Debater(m): 6:58pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Length: 24.6 inches Weight: 65 grams or more Location: China Habitat: Tropics and Subtropics Order: Phasmatodea Phryganistria chinensis Zhao is the biggest insect in the world. This giant stick insect was officially recognized as being the longest insect in the world in 2016. Discovered in the forests of the Guangxi province by entomologist Zhao Li and named in his honor, this jaw-dropping insect is as long as the average man’s arm. Zhao Li has since bred this remarkable specimen in the Insect Museum of West China. Did You Know? The impressive Phryganistria chinensis Zhao has an appetite for sweets. While the amount and frequency are highly restricted because of uncertainty over how it might impact the insect’s health, strawberry jam is this giant bug’s treat of choice. The insect’s sweet tooth is so intense, that it’s been observed rejecting other food in favor of the jam.
