A newly discovered stick insect species named Acrophylla alta has been identified as Australia’s heaviest insect. Found in the high-altitude rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, the females measured up to 40cm in length and up to 44 grams in weight—heavier than any previously known Australian insect. Up until now, the giant burrowing cockroach (Macropanesthia rhinoceros), native to Queensland, held the title, weighing up to 35 grams. The shift in record is significant

Des scientifiques ont découvert une nouvelle espèce de phasme, « Acrophylla alta » dans une forêt tropicale d’Australie. Il est considéré comme l’insecte le plus lourd du pays. Long de 40 cm et pesant 44 g (l’équivalent d’un œuf cru), il aurait évolué ainsi pour survivre au climat frais et humide de la région. C'est grâce aux œufs de l’insecte que les scientifiques ont pu confirmer son statut de nouvelle espèce. | Legend
