The Walking Stick[nb 1] (known as the Walkingstick prior to New Leaf) is a bug in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World. Starting with Animal Crossing: City Folk, the Walking Stick has a counterpart: the Walking Leaf. Unlike most bugs that make a noise when they escape by flying away or scuttling, the walking stick silently fades.

Donating to the museum[edit]
In Wild World[edit]
In City Folk[edit]
Blathers will talk about the Walkingstick as he reluctantly accepts the bug into the museum:
The Walkingstick can be found on the third platform, on the second tree to the left, in the insect exhibition once donated.
In New Leaf[edit]
Upon being donated, the Walking Stick can be found in the room of the bug exhibit with the light in, resting on a tree in the back.
In New Horizons[edit]
Upon donation or selecting "Tell me more about this!", Blathers will say:
