	Walkingstick - FIDL
		The walkingstick occurs pre-dominantly in the eastern half of The United States and adjacent Canada.

		In the northern part of the walkingstick's range, the nymphs hatch from eggs in May or early June.

		He gave the USFS a deadline for legal counsel to contact Walkingstick’s lawyer and to respond to Walkingstick’s claim (and further, that the Forest Service needed to come to some sort of finding on the case, although not necessarily a final finding, by May 29).

		Walkingstick and Bridgers filed a formal Equitable Claim of Ownership document to the general counsel of the Forest Service documenting the history and the facts of the case and asking for a settlement.

	Kay WalkingStick at June Kelly - New York, New York - Review of Exhibitions Art in America - Find Articles
		WalkingStick has, in the past, described the two halves of such horizontal works (some are true diptychs, others single canvases) as representing the immediate visual memory as well as the lingering mental deposit of her encounters with nature.
		That fleshly metaphor is apposite, for WalkingStick clearly is suggesting a union of the physical and the transcendent in one living pictorial whole no less mysterious than the animate body itself.
		The Native American peoples with whom she sympathizes have long struggled to preserve a form of animism that regards the land itself as a soulendowed being, more lasting (though not less sentient) than the human creatures who farm or hunt--or paint--so briefly upon it.

	The Firefly Forest - Common Walkingstick (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Common Walkingsticks (Family Diapheromeridae) are not rare here in southeastern Arizona, but I rarely see these stick-like insects because they are usually hidden away in dense, leafy foliage and so well camouflaged that they are almost impossible to spot unless they are moving.
		Common Walkingsticks feed on the leaves of the trees and the shrubs that they hide in, and these slow, slender insects are generally not numerous enough here to cause any real damage to plants.
		When seen up close, their mandibles may look a bit alarming, but Common Walkingsticks are not biters and not at all aggressive, although some kinds of Walkingsticks can produce a stinky fluid to repel potential predators.

		Bob's playing was superb and the Walkingstick sounded great, but more importantly to me it seemed as if Bob wasn't working very hard to get such great playing done.
		My decision was almost made to buy a Walkingstick, but it wasn't until the next day when after a brief lesson I realized that I could play the thing.

	InsectNet.com Forum - Wondering about my WalkingStick
		I have this Walkingstick in a large (tall) mason jar with flberry and rose brambles to nibble on.
		Not to be a pain, but I think that Walkingsticks are in the order Orthoptera, not Hemiptera.
		Now there could have been a reclassification I am not aware of, but the wings of these are (not as I see them) "half-wings" like with the Hemiptera.
