A bug, measuring over half-a-metre long, discovered in southern China has been declared the world's longest insect, state media said on Thursday.
A stick insect measuring 62.4 centimetres found two years ago in the southern province of Guangxi has broken the record for length amongst the world's 807,625 known insects, the official Xinhua agency said, citing the Insect Museum of West China.
The previous record-holder was a Malaysian 56.7-centimetre-long stick insect discovered in 2008 and now on display in London's Natural History Museum.
