华希昆虫博物馆

This guide to the insect museum at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain near Chengdu follows entomologist Zhao Li on a mountain road in Guangxi at one in the morning, six years into chasing villagers' rumors of an impossibly large insect. A long black shadow moving against the wind stops him in his tracks, since sticks do not walk into a breeze. You'll hear how he examined the sawtoothed legs and long antennae, carried it back to his workbench, and sent it off to specialists to confirm what he suspected. The story continues at the museum itself, where descendants of that same insect still hatch from tiny green eggs.
