This footage showcases one of the largest known insect species, with a wingspan of 25 cm and a length of 15 cm.

"Do you know what it's called?" The filmer, Sylvester Lewis asked to pique viewers' interest.

Well, the beautiful leaflike bug seen in this video is a Borneo Katydid (Macrolyristes Corporalis). He discovered this massive Katydid in Keningau, Malaysia on April 13, 2022.

The most intriguing fact to learn here is that male Katydids have stridulatory organs, which produce a specific sound called stridulation when rubbed against each other, attracting the attention of female Katydids.
