The bioinformatic nuclear genome size estimate was indeed massive, at 4.2 Gb
I think some context here would be nice so the human genome is 3.436687 Gb long. And an elephants genome is 4.01 GB long. Other insects have varying genome sizes: Beatles: 981 MB L. striatellus: 458 MB E. sophia: 372 MB references: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5121235/
