=== European species ===
In Europe there are 17 species of stick insects described, belonging to the genera ''[[Bacillus (animal)|Bacillus]]'' ''[[Clonopsis]]'', ''[[Leptynia]]'' and ''[[Pijnackeria]]''. There are also a few other species that live in Europe but are introduced, as for example with a couple of species of ''[[Acanthoxyla]]'', which are native to New Zealand but are present in southern England.

In the Iberian Peninsula there are currently described 13 species and several subspecies. Their life cycle is annual, living only during the hottest months (especially genera ''Leptynia'' and ''Pijnackeria''), which usually means late spring to early autumn.
