Found walking stick a while back
Hi, a month or so ago I was walking around and found a walking stick wwalking around on the ground.
i wanted to know if it would be safe to just bring home one of these creatures and keep them as a pet. I just left it be when I found it but I was wondering for future reference.

Look it up on your state's DNR website. Some species are endangered in certain states only. Like here in ohio, Lake Sturgeon (a big fish found in lake Erie) are an endangered species and you're not even allowed to take them out of the water, but in Michigan you can take them out of the water. And I don't know about on the Canadian side of Lake Erie, but I'm sure it's different.
The point of what I'm babbling on about is that it could and probably will vary. Check around your area before keeping one.

ok, thanks.
It's rare I(or anyone else for that matter) stumbles upon a walking stick with out setting out to find one. I was at a paintball field which is way out in the dry mountains. So I doubt I'll find one again =p

This thread is pretty old, but I stumbled upon it so I figured I'd address it.
Walking sticks? Endangered? I highly doubt it. They're everywhere around here (central Arkansas). Granted, most people don't see them very often because they're so well camoflaged, but I usually see 20 or so every year... and I'm not even outdoors all the much any more. Example : This guy ended up on me somehow while dove hunting... scared the shit out of me momentarily when he crawled over my hand. He must've fallen out of a tree or grabbed on from a branch I rubbed against.  -darc EDIT: We're talking about the plain ole North American walking stick, beckdg pointed out to me that there are a lot of crazy ones from (mostly tropical) other areas. But, the one in the picture above is very common around here.
