Giant stick-insects in Hong Kong

I have today read about a giant stick insect seen in Hong Kong by a Mt Nicholson bird watcher, Clive Viney,in 1988 that measured 12 inches long and a leg to leg measurement of 22cm. The body length of 12 inches is just 2 inches short of the world record of 14 inches,also in China. 

Does anyone have any similar stories of giant HK stick insects?
