Lord Howe Island stick insect
Sometimes referred to as “land lobsters” or “walking sausages,” the Lord Howe stick insect is considered the rarest insect in the world. Believed extinct since 1930 after being wiped off its only known native habitat on Lord Howe Island, the enormous insect was rediscovered in 2001 when fewer than 30 individuals were found living underneath a single shrub on the small islet of Ball's Pyramid, the world's tallest and most isolated sea stack.

The insect on the left, the one above, is the New Guinea tree lobster. The one on the right is the true Lord Howe stick insect.
Please, if you're going to make an article like this, at least do a little research and make sure you have the correct species.

Attack of the giant bugs
That bug is HUGE !
The reason why Dino. became extinct it is because God knoes we need to lived , God knows that we will not survive if He will let them lived we are the one who will be extinct not them, This comment is for asking why did the dino became extinct. there are many species that was claimed died but found out they are not.
below to watch it now:

It does not shock me that people at large and especially the scientific community reject God and reject the message of the Gospel..... when we as it's primary conveyers refuse to accept basic *observations* about our planet/universe/existence.
I say "observations" and not "truths" because science, in fact, is not based on truths but based on the idea that knowledge can be proven or disproven based on new information that comes to light. What is today's truth may be tomorrow's bunk. .... More
Evolution is every bit as true science as chemistry, physics, and math. Science provides platforms from which we can move to the next step. Blind belief and prayer has not created the wonderful things that science has for humanity.

And yet strangely, the absolute non-existence of any proveable evidence of any deity goes completely ignored by these ruthless hunters of facts. Point to one piece of indisputable evidence that any deity exists, not written by man at second or third or twentyseventh hand and i'll point to evidence that you're creationist threory sucks and still call you a liar. Now take your preaching elsewhere
English mus be your second language
I am glad they are comming back, I think it is beautuful, shame on you who wish it dead, they have been here for millions of years before us and will be here for millions of years after we are gone.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE HAND OR THE BUG...
cuz i hav never seen that kind of a hand b4
maybe dinousars are somwhr around mexico
creapy bug
It's great that the animals that were once extinct are now making a
re-apearance :)
Just to clarify: it wasn't REALLY extinct. just THOUGHT TO BE extinct. Only in Jurrasic Park do extinct animals reappear.
i WISH that thing was extinct!!! eww eww eww!!!!!! :&
You are ignorant. I wish you were extinct.
That one might be better off left extinct!
if i ever saw that i would trap it like a rat put it in a freezer then burn it then eat it
If the Howe Island Stick Bug is the Lobster of the land... a Cockroach of the sea is a Lobster... than this must be the sea-land cockroach!
A GLIMPSE INTO THE MIND OF GOD.
...but still worth keeping alive. Just don't let it come near me or you'll see the re-emergence of the long thought extinct subspecies of humans- The Amazing Speeding Human, capable of running over 60 mph and has a distinct blood-curdling scream.
creepy
Insects and animals, no matter how ugly or weird, big or small has a role in our earth's ecological balance. Maybe it's time we take care of our planet, afterall, it's the only one we got.
Man, that is one epic name for a bug. I find things of this nature fascinating! That being said, i would appreciate it if the LHISI stayed away from me, thanks. :)
One animal new us not yet found is so close to us, we forget it still live among us and yet new us. which one is it?
Some things are better off extinct. Put the whole lot in the juicer and do mother earth a favour!
whoever says this is a complete idiot and really has no right to even be alive. man kind is the only animal on earth that is better off extinct.
lol go hug a tree you loser. survival of the fittest. you think a lion cares if another animal lives or not?
Agreed.
Should be all white-meat, just like lobster. Crunchy on the outside... with a creamy center. May taste like Chicken?
I would really hate to be holding any creature that big,, only to find out that it is a carnivour.
I would love to be the one to find a creature (even a bug) that was thought to be extinct
I hope i never see an animal like that even in a cage , its pretty scarry lookin
Everyone get a grip, its an awsome bug.
really really grosssssss if that thing ever comes near me in my lifetime im going to scream my head off and run to france and build myself a safe and hide in it!!!!
That is an amazing insect. If I had the chance, I'd raise them and help repopulate their habitat.
If that.. that THING..
Came in my room?
.. I'd throw my school textbooks on it.
Sit on the tower of books.
And wait for my mom to come home.
Which could be hours.
..
Why would they give it such a long name? seriously, I would not want a bug walking around with my name attached to it!
Even though I don't mind bugs and how they look... that is freaking weird!
that is one weird looking bug!
I just wanna know what it is...
