Newly discovered insect

Working today, i discovered a new insect species.

It takes in 11,000 Volts from its thin feelers and then (after transforming the Voltage) excreets it at 415 Volts through the thicker proboscis to the left of the pic.
It has a hard outer exoskeleton and once it gets a hold of a live wire, generally spends its life stationery and motionless, barely moving but ready to bite and harm you if you dare enter its lair.
This species uses external cooling veins to control its temperature, a remarkable evolution.

This specimen was found hiding behind a chain wire fence for our protection from its venemous sting.

I liked the way the chain fence unintentionally created a frame to my picture.
