Weighing 44 grams, the winged creature was found in the high-altitude rainforests of northern Queensland by a team led by James Cook University researcher Angus Emmott. The insect, named Acrophylla alta, remained undiscovered due to its remote, difficult-to-access habitat high in the forest canopy.
Two specimens are now part of the collection at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane.
