It is the second longest insect in the world, having its record beaten in 2016 by Phryganistria chinensis. One specimen held in the Natural History Museum in London measures {{convert|567|mm|in|abbr=on}}.[1] This measurement is, however, with the front legs fully extended. The body alone still measures an impressive {{convert|357|mm|in|abbr=on}}.[2] Named after amateur Malaysian naturalist, Datuk Chan Chew Lun,[2][3] only six specimens are known, all originating from the state of Sabah in Borneo.[2][4] Very little is known about its biology, but speculation in the popular press is that it may live in the canopy of the rainforest, making it especially hard to find;[4] however, no evidence supports this theory, and the related Phobaeticus kirbyi is commonly found on low-growing vegetation alongside rainforest paths.[2] Phobaeticus chani was selected as one of "The Top 10 New Species" described in 2008 by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University and an international committee of taxonomists.[5] The species was also listed as one of the top 10 discoveries of the decade in the BBC television documentary Decade of Discovery, first broadcast on December 14, 2010.[6]References1. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.nhm.ac.uk/about-us/news/2008/october/worlds-longest-insect-revealed.html|title= World's longest insect revealed|accessdate= 2008-10-16|work= |publisher= Natural History Museum|date= 2008-10-16|deadurl= yes|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081019104055/http://www.nhm.ac.uk/about-us/news/2008/october/worlds-longest-insect-revealed.html|archivedate= 2008-10-19|df= }} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal |last1=Hennemann |first1=F.H. |last2=Conle |first2= O.V. |date=October 2008|title= Revision of Oriental Phasmatodea: The tribe Pharnaciini Günther, 1953, including the description of the world's longest insect, and a survey of the family Phasmatidae Gray, 1835 with keys to the subfamilies and tribes (Phasmatodea: "Anareolatae": Phasmatidae)|journal= Zootaxa|volume= 1906|issue= |pages= 1–316|publisher= Magnolia Press|location= Auckland, New Zealand|issn= 1175-5326|url= http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2008/f/z01906p316f.pdf|accessdate=2008-10-16}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/18/nation/2316389&sec=nation|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081021034612/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/18/nation/2316389&sec=nation|dead-url= yes|archive-date= 2008-10-21|title= World’s longest insect named after KK naturalist|accessdate=2008-10-18 |work= |publisher= The Star|date=2008-10-18 }} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1078221/Introducing-Chans-megastick-The-record-breaking-insect-long-arm.html|title= Introducing Chan's megastick: The record-breaking insect as long as your arm|accessdate=2008-10-16 |work= |publisher= Mail Online|author= David Derbyshire|date=2008-10-16 }} 5. ^Scientists announce top 10 new species.
