Field Notes

Description:

One of the longest insects I have ever seen. Easily 20cm long! Probably a Alienobostra Brocki female. It perfectly blends with the background. If it hadn't jumped into one of my colleagues I wouldn't have been able to recognize it.

Notes:

This one has to be one of the longest insects on earth.
