LONGEST INSECT EVER DISCOVERED

Longest Insects in the World. A new discovery has been made in Northeastern Vietnam, and it is the second longest insect ever.

2. I Like Stick Bugs! They are so adorable.
   And I befriended one before. And also Wooly Bears are My Friends but I also had a pet Racoon. And Ants are like little puppy dogs.

   Psi, If I write My Thoughts on a piece of paper it does not make Me a book.
3. Imagine thinking that it is a stick pulling it then tearing its body apart
4. Back in the late 1990's, I had five dogs, Patches, a 70 something pound Border Collie, Discount, a lab and possibly wolf mix. he weighed around 60 pounds. Brandy, a boxer/German Shepherd mix. She weighed around 50 to 60 pounds. Lucky, a Sheltie and possibly shepherd cross, and Sam, possibly a Jack Russell/ rat terrier cross. I had a big doggy door in the back door. And a few cats. I had a mother cat, Tyrona; who had two kittens at the time. Tyrona was trying to teach her kittens to hunt. Well, one night, she dragged into the kitchen, a gigantic stick insect. This thing had to be at least a foot long; and probably bigger. All my dogs took one look at the walking stick and hauled ass,into the bed room. The two kittens almost fought each to the death, trying to tear the insect apart. I thought I would die laughing; it was so funny. All my dogs were afraid of the insect, but not those little kittens.
5. Can u go to my channel and check out this "fairy being" and give me your thoughts in her? Thanx and she us the size of a large bird and glows a yellowish color at night but when the sun is going down or almost up she will look like a dusty grey color with long legs and three wings on each side that move individually! I have more info on her if u wanna know more about her and her behavior. Thanx in advance.
