Earlier in July 2014, in Sichuan, China, the Insect Museum of West China went on an expedition and found a giant new species. It is the largest dobsonfly of its kind, Xinhua reports.

A dobsonfly is any insect of the subfamily Corydalinae, part of the megalopteran family Corydalidae. There are over 220 species of dobsonflies. Dobsonflies are found throughout the Americas and Asia, as well as South Africa. Their closest relatives are the fishflies.
