Chan’s megastick — size comparison — facts and sources

Chan’s megastick comes from Borneo and is among the longest known stick insects. Its elongated body resembles a twig, helping conceal it among plants.

The species became known through study of a few specimens. Its habits are poorly documented: natural diet and development have not been established in detail. Size accounts distinguish body length from the considerably greater span with legs extended.
