The Common Walkingstick or Northern Walkingstick is a phasmid found across North America. The average length of this species is 75mm for males and 95mm for females.

The Common Walkingstick is found in deciduous forest throughout North America where they find their food sources which consist of many types of plant foliage. Even though the Common Walkingstick is a generalist they do tend to prefer foliage from oak and hazelnut.
