Skinny Insect

Measuring more than 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) in length, the world's longest stick insect (Phobaeticus chani) was found near Gunung Kinabalu Park, Sabah. So far, only three specimens of the species have been found, all in the Heart of Borneo. Like other stick insects, this one has camouflaged itself to look like a twig; normally such insects remain perfectly still and when they have to move, they make like a twig swaying in the breeze.
