- Title New 40cm Supersized Stick Insect Discovered In Australia
- Summary A large stick insect, named Acrophylla alta, has been discovered in Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, with some researchers saying it could be the new heaviest insect in the country. The video, released by Angus Emmott in collaboration with James Cook University, reveals the astonishing size of the insect, measuring an impressive 40 centimetres in length. With the insect habitat being in high altitudes, it is said that this is possibly why the insect had not yet been discovered and can explain its size due to cold and wet weather conditions.
