There are no more mysterious creatures on the planet than insects. In our today's Top 10 collected the largest insects in the world.

Someone such a company can scare, someone will cause a lot of curiosity. But surely no one will remain indifferent when they see a twenty-centimeter beetle. By the way, according to many scientists, the discovery of species previously unknown to science is most likely among insects. So it is quite possible that our current ten will replenish with new participants in the very near future.

6. Queen Alexandra Bird Wing

– the largest butterfly in the world. The female has a wing span of 35 cm. This species inhabits the territory of Papua New Guinea.

2. Chan Megapolder (Phobaeticus chani)

– the longest insect in the world. The length of a body resembling a dry branch can reach 37 cm, and taking into account the legs - 56 cm. These insects inhabit the island of Kalimantan and are simply camouflage champions - it is almost impossible to find a stick-house among the branches.
