Unfortunately I didn't measure it, but it was quite large - probably 2 to 3 cm long. I assume you would double that for wingspan. I actually thought it was missing its head. It was only when I looked at my photos later that I saw the eyes. I would say the strange chopped-off appearance of the head looks like pictures of Destolmia.
