Australian titan stick insect

On this day, electricians were helping me to replace an exterior broken light and as this big girl was resting right up near the ceiling in my high house porch, while up the ladder they kindly measured her for me and she was 25 cm/9 inches body length.

With her legs outstretched in front of her, just under double that.

I believe this is our 2nd longest stick insect after a species found in Queensland.
