    This odd looking insect is outside on my screen door. I knew it was some form of Walking Stick but I wasn’t sure which kind.

    It is a Diapheromera femorata .

    All my Tom cat wants to know is if it is of the edible species.

    I like how those things walk with a swaying forward and back like a branch in the wind.

    Yes, great picture and thanks for the actual name. We always called them walking sticks too.
